I have looked at the threads to see i f i could find an answer but couldn't find same issue. Has anyone had an issue with the front end squealing when turning both left and right at low speeds. Truck is less than 8 months old, purchased in July and has less then 8000k miles. Didn't notice when it started because most of the time i have music playing, someone in my parking garage at work with a new '19 also mentioned to me a few weeks ago. Have appointment at dealership Wed so hopefully they know whats wrong but want to give them a few ideas if there are TSB's or something. Really embarrassing to have this new nice truck and it sounds like a rust-bucket.

I have also had this issue and have taken the truck in and of course it would not do it then. Please advise as to the next thing to do.

Took it in yesterday and they at first couldnt duplicate, then later in afternoon they drove again and heard the sound. Pulled wheel off and found out was the front right brake backing plate. Was making contact with brake rotor. They repositioned the backing plate and reassembled and all is good this morning. I didnt hear it again this morning when pulling out of drive so hopefully it fixed the issue.

If you tires have odd wear and make a squeal when turned hard, it could be your alignment. Poor alignment can make your tires squeal on sharp turns on those smoother parking garage surfaces in my experience.
