so here recently i have had a clicking noise when i start off (6mt) and it might click just once or click again before going into second. I thought maybe it was the center cap and its not loose. Has anyone else had this problem??? do brakes make these noises after wearing??

 

are you familiar with the vsa doing a self-check everytime you start the car and drive off? that makes a click sound

 

no this just started recently..... it gets VERY annoying at times.

 

I had some sort of clicking noise a few weeks ago myself. It turns out one of my sensor in my wheels came loose. I have two-piece wheels and my sensors are installed with a strap that goes around the wheel. When i posted lots of people say it can be cv joints ball bearing etc. But someone will chime in and help ya!

 

the noise happens when driving straight? or turning? does it click when applying the brakes?

 

^good question

 

Do you hear the click when dropping in reverse? or fast acceleration?

 

i can simply get in the car turn it on put it in first let of the brakes and CLICK! and then sometimes it will do it again...... does it EVERYTIME i start off and it can be whether i take off fast or ease into it

 

better have the brakes ckd then!!!
and cv joints and sensor tight etc etc as said before
When in doubt about brakes- get them looked at today~~~

wife complained of brake noise,,, and the pads were at 1mm,
2mm is absolute minimum

 

yea im guessing its the brakes too.... will get some new pads today!

 

Please keep us posted on this. I had this on my 04 but traded it before figuring out what it was. My 08 TL-S is now doing it and will have the dealer take a look.

 

I've got a similar problem... a clicking sound from the right front when taking off or coming to a dead stop. Usually it's three quick "click, click, click" sounds. I plan to get it in to the dealer in the next week or two to have it checked out. Will report back with their diagnosis.

 

Sorry for bringing back an old topic back to life. I'm hearing a clicking noise after shutting off the car, like 5-10 seconds after. It starts clicking and I can see that the key light in the gauge is blinking then it goes off when the noise is on. If I turn the key into position II, it stops right away. Btw, if I press the VSA button, I can see an exclamation mark. That's why I'm wondering if you could explain a little more how this system works.

Thanks
