Hello! I have a 2003 Ford Escape, three weeks old, 600 miles.
When I drive, for the first 5 to 10 minutes, when I apply the brakes, they make a "groan" sound. This noise is more noticeable if I make an abrupt stop. It is the same sound that a car makes when you let it creep forward with your foot slightly on the brakes.
After 5 to 10 minutes of driving and applying the brakes they are quiet.
I need an unbiased opinion since the dealer tells me this noise is normal.
Is it?
