    It's only been two weeks but I will continue to monitor and report back here if she starts barking again. No News is Good News!

    You mention you "think" you're not covered by warranty. Do yourself a favour though: check with dealership. There IS a warranty extension, and it's fairly generous. What year and miles is your's again?

    Okay so I felt I needed to return to this thread and give you the bad news.

    The Barking brakes have returned..

    Bleeding the brakes took the symptom away for about 6 months.
