brake pedal click/pop when applied help!

[ej2five]

Recently I'm experiencing something that is disappointing through my brake pedal. Every now and then when I press the brake, it feels like something snapped/click/tick. I can't replicate it on demand, but it always seem to happen when I don't use the clutch for a long time and then all of a sudden i need to use the brakes, then it will have that 'tick' feeling through the pedal (i.e.: driving on the highway and using the brakes on the off ramp, or cruising along major mac through several lights and need to brake for a red light). It's not a noise, it's something that can be felt.

Did you check your brake fluid level?

 

[ej2five]

brake fluid level is good. pad still has alot of life left.

 

[IGOTASTi]

How many miles on the brake fluid?

 

[ej2five]

its a 2015 8k om everything. brought it to the dealer and they can not duplicate the issue. was told it could be back pressure in the system and its completely normal. but no help from the dealer as of yet.

There better not be an issue with the fluid on a 2015 STi. :rofl:

 

[ej2five]

i was gonna bleed it but well see

The dealer should do that not you.

 

[ej2five]

they will only do it of they can duplicate the problem

That's messed up. You greased all the gizmos?
Maybe it's the master cylinder flexing on the firewall?

If you touch it in anyway like that, you'll void that warranty real quick. Keep taking it to the dealer till they can have a technician duplicate the issue, or have the technician ride with you while you drive.

[ej2five]

Is there a secondary dealer you can go to?

Worth a shot if its a possibility. Is it still doing it?

 

[ej2five]

still doing it. but dealer said they see nothing wrong. i have shown them the video but they keep telling me its the brake light switch....but i know its not.
