About a year ago my '24 MDX Tech started having brake squealing. The majority of the noise came from the front so I ended up paying to replace the front pads/rotors and it went away. However, now that the front was quiet, the rear was far more obvious. It happens every time at medium-heavy braking, if cold then light braking will do it too.
After ~3 trips back and forth to the dealership and them saying they can't recreate it, I complained louder and after a test drive with a tech (who heard it while I was driving) they were kind enough to replace the rear pads for free (sweet!) but the noise is still there. 1 year and ~10k miles later living with the noise, I've kinda given up but I bring it up every time I go in for an oil change. First attempt after new pads/rotors they completed some "TSB" that I can find for the RDX but not MDX for the shielding around the brakes that didn't fix it. Second attempt they verified that the brakes looked "good", lubricated and the pads had a lot of life left... so they blamed the noise on the material of the pads... that they gave me...
Not sure what to do with this seemingly impossible to diagnose squeal, but it's very embarrassing.
