Wet brake noise

[Buschlatte]

I have been driving long enough to know that if it’s moist outside or you were driving In the rain and let the car sit, the brakes may make a bit of noise at first.

But holy crap! I moved my truck down my driveway toward the street and the noise was so loud it could be heard from inside the house. Very loud rubing noise and the brakes felt like they were skipping on the rotor. Did it till I was off the incline of the driveway. Took it down to the school for some hard braking in the empty lot and all was normal.

Back in 2021, my truck had a faulty brake booster and my brakes went out with me and the kids in the truck, I am hyper sensitive about the brakes on this thing now.

I know wet brakes make noise but I have never heard something this loud.

Anyone else with similar experience?

I've run into the same thing since we've finally been getting some rain here in San Diego.
It's consistent with this and other threads on brake noise. Just started hearing it at 19000 miles on my 22 PB. Squeals loudly when pedal depressed mildly, not as loud when pressing harder. Seems to go away at speed but I've not hung my head out the window...
Mine has persisted for a couple of weeks and I have service appointment to make sure there isn't something else going on. It does not get better with an "open-lot" solution as you described.
Thanks for the post...

Good luck on the service visit and let us know what they say please.

I have the same issue with my brakes on 21 F-150. I’ve taken it in already at 2 dealerships and they have told me the same thing “Brakes are wearing evenly and that everything seems okay”. Soon I’m going to just replace the brake pads because I think it’s just the quality of those pads that are squeaking at low speeds while mildly pressing the brakes..

After hearing the same at 2 dealers that Ford claims that their breaks are fine, and they will squeak at times I had enough. With less then 7K I had my dealer replace and clean my rear rotors yesterday. They said they would not grantee that they will not squeak and had me sign to that. I pinned it to my driver side rear only. So they replaced the rears. So far so good. I got tired of pulling out of the garage with this clean nice truck and sounding like I'm running over pigs.... embarrassing.

I had the same issue with my '21 STX. The dealer said everything was normal. At 7K I went to a local shop near my home, and had the pads replaced. Problem solved. I had to pay for it obviously, but it made a huge difference.

Ya I also paid at the dealer. Price was not bad and well worth it not to hear anymore.
Glad it worked out for you also.
