I noticed very early this morning that when I release the brake (while at a stand still) that there is a pretty good clunk. I can't feel it in the pedal at all, but I can hear it. Has anyone had this? I just hit 20K miles on my 07 EB.

It almost sounds like the caliper is shifting on the rotor and under tension and then when I release it's snapping back.

Braking is good as always, no lights, nothing other than the noise that only I and (not my wife) can really hear.

I'm going to mention it at the next oil change, but thought I would ask here.


One last thing, we had lots of ice here this morning and it was very cold and wet on the roads. I actually noticed it in a drive through where the wall is close and you can really hear the noises your car makes reflected back at you.
 












Whenever I put mine into park (i have an xlt though) I have to slowly let off the brake for it to go into park. If I just let off the brake it will roll forward a couple of inches before it slides into park, and it will clunk.
