not providing enough info...how many miles? Auto or Standard? Are you a brake rider?
If you got a ton of miles on it, and are rough braking could simply be that your pads are worn down to the squeal pins and need a changing....especially if your an automatic transmission as generally us standards have the ability to spare our brakes a little by shifting down....
OR....if you picked up a pebble in one of your pads from a recent outing that'll imbed itself in the brake pad and squeal to high hell when brakes applied.

Answer to problem? Jack it up and pull the wheels and have a look...see if your pads are worn or if your scaring up your rotor from a rock

I had the same problem. The dealer changed all the rear brakes and disks. After a few visits at the dealer, the technician told me that he can't resolve this problem.
A guy on this forum wrote that this can be the bushings of the shocks. He was right. When I installed my 4" suspension, this problem disappeared.
