    When I come to a stop now on my 2007, it makes a chirping/squeak sound. Usually Two in a row, squeak squeak.

    If I have the car off, and have sat for a few minutes, I can press the brake and hear it do it. Sounds like something in the brakes. Anyone have this problem before? Car has 10k.

    Yes, I kknow, go to the dealer, but that's 45 minutes and a long wait in the service department away. I won't be in a position to do this for a few weeks.

    You know it would be funny if this was it, did you buy new rubber sole shoes. I bought some new shoes awhile ago and it took me awhile to figure out it was my new shoes squeaking with the rubber on the brake pedal.

    I wish it were that easy! No, you can here it coming from the left front brake area.

    Some people would call it a clunky kind of sound. Mine does it to. I consider it normal, because I think the regenerative braking system is releasing as the car comes to a complete stop. Try stopping very gently and see if you still hear it. You can also do a search of the forum for this topic and get some other answers.
