Squeel when backing out only, my brakes aren't worn are they?

I've noticed that hwenever I back out of the garage there will be a light quiet squeal like a scratch but it disappears when i start driving forward. If I keep driving backwards, it'll only happen for the first 20-30 feet then stop btw.

pad wear sensors maybe.

You are correct. Have your brakes checked. You still have time and some miles left in your pads but don't neglect it. What you're hearing is how it starts. Just replaced my rear pads last month and that is exactly how mine started out. Went until they started making noise on acceleration from a stopped position, finally changed out the rear pads. Good as new now.
