After sitting overnight, in reverse gear/backing out, you hear grinding noise from the rear brakes. It sounds as if the rear caliper(s) are binding on the rotors(s). Ford dealers said it-??s normal, no It-??s not! Going forward the noise stops.

The vehicle's brakes consistently make a loud noise when in reverse. Dealer saw no issue.

The contact owns a 2022 Ford Bronco Sport. The contact stated that while reversing the vehicle, there was an abnormal loud squeaking sound coming from the rear end of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and informed of an unknown TSB related to the failure. The failure mileage was 4,600.

The manual park release cable has a defect to it and needs to be replaced. I the defective part causes there to be a rattle at low speeds. Some 2021 bronco sports had a recall previously issued for this part but 2022s, even though they were built with the same part, have not formally been included in the recall yet.

I have taken my 2022 Ford bronco sport into 2 different dealers to check the brakes. They make a loud squealing noise when in reverse. They both dealers said it was dirt in the brakes. They said it was normal. It still it makes the noise in reverse.

I have had this vehicle approximately 6 months, in that time I have noticed that not only is there a lot of brake dust and the brakes make a loud noise when reversing. The sound is like metal rubbing together and I have only noticed it when backing up. I've taken it to the dealership twice, both times I was told it's the new braking system Ford has and it's "normal".

The manual park release cable is defective and was a recalled issue on the 2021s (SSM 50274). I am experiencing the same rattle noise on my 2022 and have contacted ford multiple times about the issue and the most they are willing to help with at this point is cover 50% of the costs of fixing it. They state that there is no recall on 2022s and only on 2021s. This is a safety issue on a car with less than 1500 miles and has had this issue since around the 400 mile mark. I used a bronco sport forum to find a contact from someone within Ford who looked up my vin and told me my bronco sport has the same part that has been found to be defective on 2021s -?" my car was built in November 2021 and soon after ford changed the part number that they are putting in the car so that they aren-??t using a defective part. I have also found on forums that there are many people experiencing this issue and are similarly being told that there is no recall on 2022s so we are basically out of luck.

Brakes make a grinding sound at low speed. When in reverse, brakes make a humming sound. This was the same issue that caused a recall of previous models, however my vehicle is not covered by the recall. Took the vehicle to the dealer and they said -??we know there is a noise but the brakes are working properly.-?? The noise is not normal.

Engine makes intermittent metal crunching and scraping sounds at low speeds and when braking in stop an go traffic. And sometimes the sound would be heard the all the time when keeping the car between 25 to 30 mph.
