Hi There,

For about the last two weeks, I've noticed a noise occurring around the front left section (over the wheel) of the car. When letting off of the brake, there is a deep creaking sound, but once the car accelerates and gets going the sound disappears. I'm a young female and very hesitant to take this to a garage, as I've been taken advantage of before. I'd like to have a potential idea of what might be going on before I walk in blind.

Thanks so much.

Hi Goodea,

Sounds like the brake pads are wearing off and you should get them checked asap.
