If you hear it first thing in the AM, it could be your parking brakes. The parking brakes on these are actually skinny little drum brakes that reside inside the rear disc, and sometimes they stick to the surface, or can drag due to dust, rust or debris. Drive a short distance, with the parking brake slightly engaged, to clean the surface of the shoe, and the inside surface of the disc. If this doesn't help, take it to the dealer and have them adjust the parking brake.
