I have a 09 SH-AWD Tech

Whenever I step on the brake pad after my car has been sitting in the cold for a long period of time(ambient temperature is about 5C), I hear some kind of spring stretching and contracting noise when I step on and release the brake pad. The noise is from the brake pad area.

However, these noise are gone after you run the car for few minutes. Is it normal? (due to the cold weather?) Anyone has the same problem? As I am afraid some salt got into the braking system.

Thanks

 

I have the same kind of noise - I described it as cables pulling, and I hear it when I press the brakes hard and then release.

Usually get it at any temperature and only have 18,000KM on the car, don't think I should have something like this already.

If anyone can help or advise what this may be?

 

got this fix as well, the dealer lubricated the joint and the noise are gone now.... (so far from what i can tell......as temperature is getting warmer and warmer in here.......can't replicate the low termperature scenario anymore)

 

My dealer adjusted the pads or something and its gone.
