How many miles on the clock?
How about squeaks when going over bumps?
Still could be a brake issue or some dry suspension bushing under stress while turning.

 

61k on the clock. Not noticed it when going over bumps, normally just when I start driving.

 

Anyone figure this thing?

 

Same issue here. I noticed it at low speeds and i cant figure out if it has to do with wetness (like in the AM or after a carwash). Sometimes after carwashes it seems to go away, other times it makes no difference.

The sound is similar to a squeaking as the wheels spin. The grinding, rubbing, squeak, whatever we're calling it almost sounds as if a metal part (rotor?) is warped and every time it spins it's making contact and grinding on something. Could it be caused by hard braking, or hard braking after being cold or wet?

Noticeably the problem does not occur when braking. Applying the brakes actually makes the squeaking stop.

Any clues? All the mechanics I've asked tell me the same thing: your rotors are great, you have new brake pads. If its "squeaking" that only means it's brake dust.
But it's clearly not an issue that seems triggered by dust.... I've also made sure they replaced the pads with the higher quality ceramic.

2017 WK2 90k this week.

Looks and drives like new so would like to maintain that appearance and rolling up with squeeky wheels is somewhat embarassing - esp since it seems to happen randomly.

 

If applying the brakes makes it go away check your rotors. How clean are they? At 61K probably original and can benefit from turning. When you replaced the pads how evenly were they worn?

 

I have an 18 with 57k on it which sits quite a bit and I get the squeaking when I first drive for a while and I believe it comes from the rust build up on the end of the rear rotors you can see the pads rub it , I will take my wheels off and and put my cordless grinder to them

 

Did anyone figure this out? 2018 Trailhawk Ecodiesel, 60k on the clock.

Start driving after it's cooled down and the rotational squeaking comes in. I thought it was the rotors so I sprayed brake clean on them but no dice. Hoping it's not a wheel bearing but who knows?

 

A bad wheel bearing typically but not always would have more of a grinding/humming sound rather than a squeaking sound.
The squeaking wheel sounds described in this thread can only be a few things.
-worn, contaminated or distorted pads
-glazed pads or rotors
-high metallic pads
-possibly bad caliper anti rattle hardware
-sticking calipers maybe caused by dry or no lube on the guide pins
-sticking caliper piston
-rock or other metallic debris embedded in the pads
-rock or other debri stick somewhere in the brake system
-over night temporary squeaks with rust on the rotor
-loose lug nuts
-excessive brake dust mostly with drum brakes though
-could be a bad U-joint depending on the vehicle
-Lastly might not even be a brake issue instead a squeaky bad bushing

Most mechanics typically raise the vehicle and eye ball the brakes.
Some of the above causes need a more thorough inspection by removing the caliper for a diagnosis.
