Is it normal to hear a groaning sound when depressing brakes?

**gomezgomez** · September 12th, 2019 12:23 AM

So I recently brought a new car and it was released from the casa around 2 weeks ago.

Although I noticed that after a full stop brake, whenever I depress the brake, it makes a groaning sound from the front side of the car. Not all the time, just sometimes. Like.. 30% of the time.

The front brakes are ventilated disc type. The transmission is CVT (if that matters).

EDIT: Sounds like this, check 1:14 of the vid: Weird noise when pushing and letting off the brake pedal when at stops - YouTube

Is this normal? TIA.

my wild guess,
something is loose.
perhaps the brake caliper assembly.
or the wheel lug nuts.
or, your bearings are broken.

have it lifted, and examine your suspension and steering components.

ABS light does not come on at any time. Manual says it only comes on when there is a problem with ABS.

It kind of sounds similar to this one, around the 1:13 mark:

groaning? or grinding sound?

Maybe grinding? I'm not really sure how to describe the sound. It's like the sound at this video around 1:14 mark: Weird noise when pushing and letting off the brake pedal when at stops - YouTube

If it sounds abnormal then bring it back to the dealer, they could have skipped some QI procedures when the vehicle was released. Also, suspension and alignment warranties are usually valid for 15days only-they are treated as consumables.

If it's a grinding sound it could just be the break pads making uneven contact with the rotor disc.

Had that problem with our Rav4 when we still had it, mechanic said it was because they used poor quality brake pads. First thing I noticed is that there was a lot of brake dust even on short trips.

Does it usually happen at slow stops and starts at traffic lights when you're riding the brake a little bit?
