I had not heard it do it for a few weeks. This weekend I went to the car wash. I pulled around to vacuums and as I slowly backed up I touched the brake pedal and thought I had just run over a pair of adult Canadian Geese !
Make sure read up on disabling electric parking brake. Otherwise could end up pistons pop out of calipers and deal with that headache....
Rust on a brand new car? I sure hope not! I live in drought-ridden southern california, and doubt itās rustedā¦ unless it rained all the way during delivery!
So intermittent basically covers ALL the time they do it, LOL. Mine does it all the time now, it used to be 'intermittent'. Hopefully they find a fix. I may try something like changing out pads and hardware on my own, Ford's answer to this doesn't really instill confidence in me regarding their ability to make fixes. Other than the brake noise, I love the vehicle.I have a 2021 Big Bend that I absolutely love, other than my rear brakes squeal like a New York bus. It only happens in reverse on start up when it is cold or wet outside (so basically all winter). At my house pulling out of the garage ever morning is one thing, but is embarrassing leaving work each day and after a Sunday morning church service.
I took it to the dealer, where they verified it. In fact, one of the service reps has a BS and she confirmed āmine does it. itās terrible, but they say āFord states itās normalā, but I think it will eventually be recalledā. She even provided the attached documentation.
How can this be considered normal? My Toyota 4Runnerās brakes donāt do this. My 2012 Ford Escapeās brakes donāt do it. In fact, no vehicle I know of considers this normal. Itās worse than a New York bus on a new Bronco Sportā¦but no warranty repair or fix?
Surface rust on rotors is a normal occurrence, even if you have no rain, when you're driving and using your brakes during the day, then the car sits overnight, the rotors cool down and the air temp also does after the sun goes down, even a slight difference in the temperature of the rotors vs the air will cause condensation which then turns to surface 'rust'. Not harmful to the rotors or the pads and goes away after a few minutes of driving. It happens on my Bronco Sport, and my Audi S7 which has much larger rotors.
I've been told that there is a TSB on this issue. I have the same problem. It can be intermittent but definitely annoying as heck. The dealer says when there's a fix, they will notify me.I have a 2021 Big Bend that I absolutely love, other than my rear brakes squeal like a New York bus.

Ha! That's the most accurate description yet! And I live in Arkansas. ?
There are 3 TSBs so far and all 3 are obsolete
WHAT?!?! Are you saying Ford is eliminating MORE stuff from the newer models?
