    I get that the brakes squeak when you stop but I’m getting a constant squeak when driving which seems to be coming from the brakes even without them being applied the car is a 2017 488 gtb it’s at Ferrari and they seem to not know what to do to cure it they have had it in b4 and bought it back with a worse squeak then I sent it in with!!!im getting the impression that they are suggesting it’s one of those things but surely not a squeak all the time on a car of that level and a squeak loud enough for people to notice as you drive by!!!
    Any ideas?

    Have them run the car in gear up on a hoist.
    ID which wheel and go from there.
    Spray water on the squeaking wheel and see if the noise goes away. If not then continue with other low level/easy trouble shooting ideas.

    Aston had a big issue with this. It was a parking brake pads causing the issue. May or may not be what is causing your squeak, but it's something to look into.
