"Truck makes squeaking noise when taking off or rolling at low speed in parking lots."

Check me if I'm wrong, but if you speed up, the noise will go away.

I took my rear brakes apart and cleaned them up and applied thin layer of grease only between the clips/slides and the bracket. Hasn't squeaked in a couple of weeks...

Truck makes squeaking noise when taking off or rolling at low speed in parking lots. Never happens when brakes or applied. I’ve taken my 2020 Gladiator in to the dealer 3 times now and can’t seem to get the problem resolved. I have provided video/audio of the issue but unable to reproduce while on the lot. Anyone else have similar issue?

This is the same for mine. Dealer says brakes are fine. It started at 32k for me. Did anything ever permanently solve the issue?

2020 w/ 30k miles. Same rotational squeak at low speed after sitting everyone else is reporting. It's been happening for maybe 4-5 months now. Apply the brakes and it will stop but can come back at the same low speed after releasing brakes. Eventually goes away after picking up speed.

Taken it to a dealership and independent shop with no luck.
After reading some of the posts here and having a flat enough parking spot to not set the parking brake I did so. It sat for an entire 24 hours or so and when I pulled away today it did not squeak! I have parked it the same again, without setting the parking break, and will see(hear?) what happens next time I have to take the truck out.

Squeaks are back and louder than ever! Guess I just have to live with it for now. Happening from multiple positions as there are overlapping squeaks now. Brakes applied it goes away. Sometimes it happens with steering input or a bit of suspension movement when moving over the driveway entrance. But like everyone else. Slow speeds and after sitting for a bit.

I took my rear brakes apart and cleaned the caliper clip hardware things as best as I could on both sides and thin put the thinnest layer of grease between them and the caliper mount. Haven't had the noise since and it's been a few months since I did it.

Ya, had identical issues that drove me insane. After getting new brakes all the way around, haven't had an issue since (approx. 3,000mi on new brakes).

Have you figured out what the problem is? I have a 2022 and am experiencing the same exact thing. Started happening during cooler temperatures? It is driving me insane!

I have the same problem with my 2022. Have you solved this issue yet? It is driving me insane.

Add me to the list of “weird squeaky noise when first driving after truck has been sitting.” Mine seems to be coming from the front passenger wheel. I chalked it up to brake pads or some kind of moisture build up. It doesn’t bother me nearly as much as others in this thread, but I may try the ceramic pads as I’m probably close to end of life on my brake pads anyways.

after almost a year, I was able to find the solution. It’s the hardware clips on the brake pads that were causing the pad to sit too close to the rotor. Once we replaced those and greased everything up, the sound is officially gone!

I have a 2023 Gladiator Overland and started getting the squeaks at about 32k miles. The dealer looked several times and is convinced it's surface rust on the rotor that comes off after braking several times

I apologize as I only read page one and page 8. This is the video I took today. Is this what you guys are experiencing?

I don’t know about the others on this thread but that’s the noise that I’m talking about.
