Noise from wheels/brakes on new Coupe- Help
On my auto coupe (barely a week old), I have experienced strange sounds from the wheels/brakes.
basically I when I am at some lights, junction etc. in drive with my foot on the brake, I hear a creaking, like the car wants to go against the brakes. OK if I press down more firmly, I don't hear this, but when releasing the brake, I sometimes get a creak/clunk.
Is this normal, Is it just the brake pads wearing in. Please bear in mind that this is the first Automatic car I have had.

On some occations my brakes also makes these noises, like a deep squeak (also an auto, but a sedan) and I have 18000 km on the odo. My brake pads should be "broken in" by now. Mostly I can hear these noises when the discs/pads are wet and cold. I think it's normal. Havn't seen any brake fading/failure tendencies yet anyway.
