I have now developed the squeak. It occurs when car has sat for only few hours. I have had the lube job done yesterday per PI0917B 2480038 and the car squeaked this morning. Mine does it in reverse and forward and as with other, it goes away after the first few times the brakes are applied. My service advisor said some clients have had the service done and the squeak is milder, but still present
I called the dealer this morning to see what they can do to resolve the problem. I like Cadillac. I really like the dealership from the owner to my tech.
Hopefully, we can work this out.
I wonder who else has had this problem on a 2013-2014 XTS and if the problem was resolved to their satisfaction.

Condition/Concern
Some customers may comment on a squeal or squeak noise from the front brakes. This condition normally only occurs on initial brake applications after the vehicle has sat for an extended time. The condition occurs typically under light braking, in speeds under 16 km/h (10 mph). After 1-6 brake applies, or after braking at higher speeds, the noise no longer occurs. This condition may occur more often in high humidity conditions.
Recommendation/Instructions
Important: Do not apply the lubricant to the back of the backing plate.
Apply a light coat of the lubricant to completely cover the pad backing plate abutments on each end. The lubricant should not extend onto the friction material. Refer to the illustration below.
