Groaning brakes.

My 2021 Badlands will make a groaning / sticking caliper noise every morning when backing out of my parking spot.
It only happens once, but it happens EVERY day I drive.
My boss has the same model, and his Bronco behaves the same way.
Anyone here notice this?

IMHO, probably moisture/dampness forming on either the rotors or linings or both

This issue is known by Ford and wouldn’t you know, “normal.”

Hmmm - Ours does not do this. Correction: Heard ours doing this briefly yesterday while baking out of the garage.
