mine squeaked as soon as id start rolling from a stop. Took them to the dealer and they said it was rust on the rotors in the morning.

Then i got video of it happening while rolling at ideal speed after driving for 3 hours...i took it back for warranty eval and told them I think the rotors are warped and/or theres an issue with the pistons on the calipers. dealer says they’re unsure why it’s happening but are going replace all four rotors, all pads, and my break lines, under the warranty.

btw breaks are only covered for I think 12k miles by jeep...which i didn’t know. I made the case my truck is a max tow that hasnt towed, or even gone off road. And if there is an issue with the rotors alreadt (33k miles) i fear for the safety of my family when i do tow since sounds like this can be indicative of a larger issue. I told them id hate for my breaks to fail under load while towing.

the video is too long to post but if you want pm me your phone number and ill text it to you. Just incase your having the same issue i was.

Yup, I’ve noticed this braking in the morning when temps are like they are today, around 12 degrees etc. Wife’s car does the same. After braking at a light or two, I don’t hear it any longer.

With it only happening when cold and going away, sounds like a sticky piston on the caliper.

I noticed the same thing under those conditions. Cold, making a hard turn. Thought it was someone else until I rolled the window down. Went away in like 10 seconds though...

I paid a little more attention to it this morning and it seemed to go away after my 3rd stop. I think if it gets worse I’ll have it checked. I’m supposing that it has to do with temps
