Does anyone else have a thumping sound or clicking sound when release the brake pedal after like a complete stop. When I slow down and release it doesn't make this sound.

Is this normal like the click on gas pedal? Is this the ABS people talking about, but it just doesn't start on startup it happens when I take my foot off brake. I got the the dealer to fix the squeaky brake, is this another version of that.

Thanks for any help before I call the dealer.

This is a common known issue. Take the car in to your dealership and have them replace the brake pedal and the brake light switches. It was very squeaky, clicking, and annoying until I took it in to get the problem fixed. Now there are no sounds, no problem.

I was about to post about this too. I noticed that when I press on the brake pedal lightly there's a click like a light switch sound. Got to have them replace it then. Good thing I haven't put the new pedals on yet

Isn't this click normal? I have noticed it too, and thought that's how it's supposed to be.

thats wat the dealer would say to u...but infact its not normal, its a defect

its not a serious issue so they try to avoid helping u...nissan sucks... next car i get will be a lexus or bmw...the service is more expensive when u dont have warrentee...but damn the service is heaven vs hell

i hate nissan dealers (atleast the last 3 i went to)

i like the cars but definetly worst services ive ever had
