Seems like a trivial question: New car, 400 miles...every brake pedal application begins its travel with slight resistance, a "click" feeling, and a barely audible creaking sound. Any thoughts?

I've noticed some slight "sticking" when I first tap the brakes and then it goes away. It does seem to come back when the brakes are not used for a little bit.

Personally I'm not worrying about it right now since my car is only a week old. For now I'm just going to drive the crap out of it and let the dealer take care of the little annoyances later. :cool:

Palouse: It's not the noise. It's the sensation of sticking or binding.
Thanks inthewoods. Our 09 Jetta did it, our 09 JSW doesn't do it, the 2012 didn't. Wonder if it's a simple lubrication issue on a pivot point?
