I have a 2012 F150 with about 4000 miles. Lately after my truck sits for awhile and I start to drive it, the brakes squeal with a light application of the brake pedal. This continues for several stops, stop and go for a couple traffic lights.

I did not tow much this year and that squealing is very annoying. Any thoughts before I head to the dealer?

Sounds like a combination of rust and a light glaze caused by the brake dust heating up. Pretty normal condition.

Thanks. Just wondering can that be caused by the low amount of miles per week and the lack of driving the truck on a daily basis?

 

[Mr Mac]

Yes sir, it can.

Thanks Mr. Mac. I need to get out more often then.
