Thank you everyone who responded!
I found the culprit. It turns out that only one rear pad, the drivers side rear pad behind the rotor had completely worn all the way down to the metal backing plate. You wouldn't believe the noise! I honestly thought it was the front brakes! What threw me off was that the pad on the front of the rotor (towards the rear wheel) had at least 3mm left. Same with the pads on the passenger’s side. When I finally took the wheel off was when I noticed there was no pad left on the other pad. So I either had a stuck piston or a faulty pad. I replaced the rotors and pads and everything is fine. I'll keep my eye on that rear pad!

Thanks again,
Scott
