Have you guys checked if your park brake is partially ON? That could be the noise youre hearing.

 

[sonocativo]

It is usually caused by light rusting of the rotor surfaces... gets worst the longer it sits. Usually only groans when you first move and apply brakes, after the rust is wiped off it wont do it the rest of the day until it has time to build condensation and rust again. Cheap aftermarket rotors are the worst.

Rust just after one night? Parking brake is not set... I still think it is temperature related.

it is electronic, we have no control other than on or off.

Oh my - an e brake? So the DIY’er will need a $1,000 tablet to do the rear brakes. Thry must be forced in to service mode.

Yes, this is the way they are going. IIRC the 2014+ Corvettes were some of the first to get them.


They engage automatically when the vehicle is parked

I am waiting for what i know is coming

The dealerships are going to tell some people that this is normal,
that all the 2018/2019 Rams do it

They expect that those owners having this issue are going to believe that Ram paid all their engineers $100,000s of money to build a Ram that makes noises like that while backing up in Cold weather.
No engineer would sign their name at final sign off on a project that is not built to their satisfaction & Ram would not accept it as being finished

And here (imo) is one reason why first year models should be watched for bugs before buying.

I’ll add into the info here as well. 2019 Rebel with about 1500 miles. I’m hearing the groaning while backing up. Usually, like some folks have noticed, it’s only after it has sat for many hours (like overnight and throughout the day while I’’m working).

Sounds like a trip to the dealer may be in order.

 

[2019Hemi-Limited]

Add me to the list. Pretty embarrassing, backing my shiny new 2019 up and having people look to see what is making the gawd awful sound. Going in tomorrow for my new 12" screen replacement, will have the dealer look into the brakes. Here I am5 weeks into ownership and been back to dealer 3 times for repairs.
This 2019 is nice to drive when it is working, but for all you who are looking at these new trucks and see how fancy the interiors are, new body style ect, well , the quality seems to be going downhill. My passenger door panel is already loose. Had to tap it back on properly.

My truck just started doing it at 2,000 miles. It started right after we had a freezing rain storm come thru. Reminds me of drum brakes in the rain.

 

[zls22]

It is my understanding that the brake pads are going to be changed under warranty ?

 

[3Darcher]

Yep my 19 Laramie is doing it also. Especially in reverse after sitting overnight. When backing out on snow the front brakes will lock up at first. Once they stop groaning they work properly.

 

[fordjake]

Just an update from me, after waiting for 45 days, I called the dealer to find out where my parts were, and he said they had them....... Thanks for the call huh, long story short I go in next week to get all 4 replaced, rotors and all , Will update whether it's fixed

 

[srtdodge05]

Last night when I was leaving work I put my truck in reverse and let off the brakes. I gave it a little gas to get going and got the groaning sound without my foot on the brake. When I pushed on the brakes the noise got louder. Seems like the calibers are sticking or something. I even disabled backup assistance.

 

[twodips]

Just a shot in the dark, could it be the parking brakes sticking on some of 'em?

 

[srtdodge05]

It could be. I'll have to try setting the parking brake and releasing it.
