Why does my shifter click when I brake?

Totally normal. This is caused by the shift-lock mechanism that only allows you to shift out of park if you are pressing the brake pedal. The mechanism is electrically actuated and that is the ‘click’ you are feeling and hearing.

Why does my brake pedal click when pressed?

When the brakes make a rattling or clicking noise, this is an indication that your brake pads need replacing. The rattling and clicking is caused by the vibration of loose components which damages the brake pad.

What makes a clicking sound when you apply the brakes?

When the brakes are applied the pad shifts resulting in the click. If you remove the pads you may detect a shiny spot on one or more of the “ears” of the pad.

What do you hear when you brake at low speeds?

Most of the time when I brake at low speeds I hear a clicking type sound, that is fairly faint. I do NOT hear squeaking, grinding or any high pitched noises that might indicate my brake pads are wearing down, or anything that sounds really bad. I also do NOT feel anything in the pedal with the clicking/tapping.

Why do I hear a clicking sound in my tire?

It could be something really obvious – the clicking could be caused by a small object that is stuck in your tire tread like a pebble. Inspect your tire tread; if there is something stuck you should be able to pry it out with relative ease.
