Got my 2022 ST a couple days before Christmas, having ordered it in August. Loving it and have signed up for the ST Experience in Park City UT in July. As of Thursday, I have been noticing a horrible squealing from the drivers’ side rear wheel, I think. It happens at low speeds and notice it most when I am near buildings and pulling into my driveway. Has anyone noticed this happening on theirs. I have just over 1300 miles on it and an appointment for April 4th with the dealership. Very much enjoying the forum! I should also add that I live on a gravel road, so maybe part of it.

First that comes to mind is a possible pebble between rotor and brake pad. Look for scoring on the rotor.

Welcome. Agree on the possible pebble. Hit your brakes hard from around 60mph to 20 a few times in a row. This will help cook off any bedding material and possibly the impediment if there is one. BE CAREFUL as your brakes should and will fade bad towards the end of your few hard stops. Once you do this, let the rotors cool for about 5 minutes of driving then do about 6-8 moderate 40-10mph stops with about 45 seconds cool down in between to re-bed your brakes

Thank you all for the welcome and the advice. I’m thinking it’s a pebble also. Will update soon.
