2011 F150 Sticky Calipers????

I was backing out of my driveway last week, as soon as the truck moved I could hear what sounded like brake noise, like there was a sticky caliper. The noise went away as soon as I put it in drive and I didn't hear it again....until this morning. Same thing, almost like there's a caliper that seems to be a little sticky, and the noise is loud...so loud it's almost impossible to tell which wheel it's coming from. I will take it to the dealer to have it checked out but I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem?? Is there an ongoing issue with brakes? I only have 9100 miles on it, just wondering what the future holds.

its pretty much impossible to diagnose without you describing the noise. "brake noise" is very vague.

Was it a clunk?
a squeal?
a moan?
a groan?
a bang?
a chatter?
a whine?

the type of noise will be very telling of the issue.

I'm guessing it was just a groan... a groan type of noise when backing up first thing in the morning is typical and nothing to worry about. The brakes get damp overnight and the noise is caused by the dampness.
