Odd thing began happening with my car on the commute to work today. As I’m rolling to a stop, when I press the brake pedal there’s a quick pop or clunk coming from the front of the car. Sounds a bit like a brake pad rocking a little in the caliper like what sometimes happens when you back out of a parking spot, but just a bit louder. But it also makes the noise as soon as I let off the pedal too, so it isn’t from going forward to reverse and vice versa.

Happens with about 5-10% brake pressure at any speed (but seems more pronounced at low speed) and is audible outside the car. Seems to also make the same sound when I go from heavy throttle to immediately lifting, but the clunk then is more subtle, and it might just be my imagination.

Car is a 2017 Targa 4S with FAL (which is working fine) if that matters. Any thoughts?

Junk in the frunk? Or something loose under the battery cover?

Definitely seems mechanical. And I can get it to make the sound a few seconds after I release the brake. So it seems like something is getting “stuck” each time I hit the break and then releasing 1 second after I come off the brake.

And it only does it going forward, not in reverse.

Wheels on tight?

Yup

I know this thread is a couple of yrs old - I am getting exactly the same problem - did you end up finding out what the problem was?
