My brakes squeel as well when braking slowly, but if it's a hard stop, they don't squeel at all. I found some online products like a brake grease spray. Has anyone tried this stuff or similar, that worked?
I also have tried to get the local Mazda Dealer to fix the problem, the guy just said, "O... they just do, it's the design"... WTF

the second time I had my pads replaced they wanted to charge me. I asked them if there was a TSB out for this problem. She said yes. then I said they didn't fix the problem the 1st time. I aksed for the service manager and told him as long as there is a tsb and the problem still exists, they will be changing the pads....end of story. Unfortunately, you need to be a dick with the dealers because they don’t treat their customers with any respect.
If you haven't had the redesign pads then you should get them replaced for free. The way I put it to the dealer on my 3rd time is that by putting out a redesigned pad Mazda has basicly admitted there was a problem....mileage doesn't factor in.
Go into the dealersahip with steel balss the size of a bowling ball...go when its busy and speak loudly so all the other customers ccan hear your conversation.
