Just took my car in for oil change this weekend and had them looked at the brakes. My car makes noises when you hold on the brakes and nudge it a bit. Dealer said this was normal sound when calipers are released. Any of you guys cars makes this noise? Another thing is that the brake pedal feels stiff and seems like I would have to put more pressure down to apply my brakes. My 2000 tundra's brakes are soft and makes no noises whatsoever. Such poor brakes for a luxury car.

I just got new front and rear brakes from brakeperformance.com and they made that annoying moaning sound for the first few miles until he rotors got broken in.

I noticed a sound coming from the front of the car, metal brushing on metal. When I applied the brakes the noise stopped and did not return when I took my foot off the brakes. I suspect I have one of the front calipers that is not working quite right. Any ideas?

Brake actuator. There was a redesign on the part and they have been on a major backorder for a while.

I had the dealer look at the brakes twice. I asked them to check the brake actuator too. Said no problems were found except warped rotors and noise that I'm hearing is normal. They said it's just the calipers releasing. I don't have noise when braking, it's only when i'm at a complete stop and the brakes are pressed completely or nudged a bit is when I hear the brake noise.

I feel your pain . I am still getting the is weird groaning noise when I hit the brakes really really hard. I am assuming its the slotted rotors. It seems like its getting better over time but its annoying. If its not gone in a few weeks I am going to junk the brakes and get a set of oem brakes. I am surprised that I am saying that. Oh well, just a $1000 down the tubes. Sometimes we have to learn the hard way
