Loud screeching backing out of driveway

[sfitzzz31]

My 2022 bronco sport big bend is making a loud screeching when backing out with my foot on the breaks. Brought it in to dealership and they said there is a fix. (New pins or something). They replaced them and same thing is happening. Now they are telling me ford knows about the issue but there is no fix. Says its a problem in all bronco sports, edge, and escapes. This is really unfortunate cause the truck was not cheap and it sounds like an old beater backing out of my driveway. Doesnt seem fair at all. Not sure what to do next. Contact someone in ford corporate? Really unacceptable

Had the exact problem. The strange thing is it’s not constant for me. It sometimes just goes away for months. But for me at least it seems more common in the warmer months. Haven’t experienced this at all for the past 2 months. In September I took the car to the dealer. They sanded the brake pads and put a lubricant that prevents or stops the sounds. Well 10 days later it’s back, had to wait a month for my appointment didn’t know all of New England goes to 1 Ford dealer. Picked the car up at the end of the day lady told me they didn’t do anything and that I should just ignore it because Ford knows of these problems but has no solution. Don’t know is it the rotors or the pads. I thought it was just me with this problem because the people at the dealer looked at me like I was crazy when I told them what’s happening.

Hmmm…. Happens more in warmer months. Are all of your kids and pets accounted for?

My BS makes one groan backing out the garage. After that it's fine.

Does it sound like a tug boat in a harbor horn? There is a caliper pin bushing TSB for that issue.

Hey there! I can look into your Bronco’s noise concerns on my end if you’d like. Will you send us a private message with your VIN and dealership info?

Just got my OBX on January 11. Noticed that noise for the first time today. (Syracuse, NY =cold weather). Will see if it continues and address it if necessary.

I'm glad you brought this up. I too have been having that issue. Doesn't happen all the time but when it does sound like a tug boat horn like mentioned above. I haven't reported it yet. Wasn't sure how to explain the noise. I find when I bring in vehicles for problems like this, it never happens to them. I thought it was a stuck piston in the caliper not releasing the pad all the way. It only happens when I'm backing out of the driveway.

It has only happened once so far. My vehicle is brand new (100 miles). I'll drive it for a few weeks and then see if the situation persists. I'll let you know if it does.

Yes backing up after sitting with tug boat horn in the harbor sound is caliper bushing TSB issue. Caliper not releasing brakes dragging then they get unstuck. Lots of threads on this forum with TSB number ect ect ect....

Try giving it a quick jab on the pedal rather than riding the brakes baking up. Stops the noise for the moment. Usually worse in damp weather.
