My brakes were sqeeking very very badly, they de glazed them and it made it go away for about 4 weeks, however the sqeek is starting to come back, but I think new pads and rotors should fix that.

Mine don't squeek. Could the problem be due to travelling on roads where there is a lot of oil dumped, or have very soft tar, or indeed where there is a lot of diesel exhaust emitted close to the ground? Glazing could be due to deposition of oily crud which subsequently oxidizes, or to deposition of the binding material used in the brake pads. The squeek is made by a high frequency slip-grip action of the pad on the disk.
I know my discs rust very quickly. I get a light yellow film within minutes of the discs getting wet - it looks like the iron mineral goethite. However, it polishes off with the first light brake application

I agree it has to do with driving conditions. Mine have squeeked a bit when I spent an extensive period where my daily driving was Sydney peak hour traffic. But once I got back to a more regular, higher speed, less stop-start drive, it disappeared.

Mine used to squeek as well when I used to spend a fair bit of time in peak hour traffic.
It's a lot better these days since I use the back streets to get to work and the traffic flow is continuous.

Mine used to squeel a little. I don't remember when they stopped squeeking. Maybe one of the braking areas fixed it.

Had the 10,000k service done Friday, told the service guy that I had some intermittent squealing from the brakes, they degalzed pads and dedusted the rotors, driving home brakes still squealing.
Rang service guy today and quoted the American Mazda service bulletin re brake pad replacement, he rang Mazda and yes they are going to replace my pads under warranty.
I believe they will replace pads over 4mm wear, if you have Squealing brakes.

C'mon guys ... you are forgetting labrat's technical explanation, which clearly shows car colour has nothing to do with it 
BTW, mine's VelRed (the fasta one ) and has never squeaked

rev it up
I have really bad squeal from my brakes. My dealer told me that they did not notice any thing. 
It happens under moderately hard braking....so they may not have been able to induce a squeal.
Now that a dealer has accepted responsibility to fix the issue it may be worthwhile trying again.
Does anyone know if this recall fix actually works?

apply generous amount of lubricant... ONLY JOKING! :D
So when you are crusing, you ummmm... don't use the brakes, and therefore they erm... don't squeek as much? Hmmm....
