I had the same squeak. Turns out my drums were warped so I had them turned, cleaned it all up, and put on new brake shoes. Squeak went away and has stayed away.

Well, thats the point that I'm at now. I think I will just take off both drums, replace the pads, and slather copper grease all over the place, heh. Will be this coming weekend's project I guess. Maybe I should do the front pads as well.

I believe the '09 has abs brakes standard so you'll want to look it up so you won't damage the abs. While you have the drums off go get them turned. Call around I'm sure a auto parts store or shop can do it cheap. Like I said mine were warped and I had no idea.
