checkstr Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 Hi...Not sure if there is a spring or something that needs to be WD40’d or if it’s something I should bring me car in to get fixed. Here’s a video with the sound it makes. Also heard is a loud click noise at the shifter when pressing the brake pedal. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Txvc_q-TyCcS4heyuzkPW2FiaAaisBCz/view?usp=drivesdk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtomatoman Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 I would advise you to use any lubricants carefully around the brake pedal. Slipping off the pedal when trying to brake may be disastrous. Did you look under there? The offender may be obvious. Dunno. The click is likely the park safety that allows you to shift into drive when the brake is depressed. I can see why the squeak is annoying, but if it's not a problem, consider leaving well enough alone. Peace. 2late4u and jkeaton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
checkstr Posted July 6, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 It is super annoying, and I can feel it through the pedal. If it was just the creak noise, I could probably live with it...I did take a look at it from under the dash but can’t quite pinpoint where it is coming from. i understand what you’re saying about spraying anything down there, honestly didn’t think about the safety issues. Guess it’s off to the dealership. thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2late4u Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 i would probably just go to a good brake service shop first and let them check it out first probably wouldn't be a charge if they just look at it,dealership is going to cost you at least a hundred just to check it out...good luck and report back when you find out what it is.... checkstr and jkeaton 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redtomatoman Posted July 6, 2019 Report Share Posted July 6, 2019 My feeling is that it may be the return spring on the pedal. Maybe just taking the spring off and reinstalling or replacing the spring would be enough to change whatever is causing the squeak. I'd try that before taking it anywhere... Good Luck. Peace.
