Ran into another H3 with my problem yesterday ...

Thanks F5. I can live with it for now.
I know you will inspect it further because it will drive you nuts.
We are counting on you for a fix.


How could the dealer call it normal

My wife just left with the 3. I put the ebrake on 1/2 down told her to back down to swoop spot(100ft) then foward to road (100 feet) then release brake and see if its better.Maybe a build up of rust on drum, it couldn't hurt.

I also put some white spray grease on e brake cable under door and on backing plate spring/lever.

Oooookay, fourfourto! What ever makes you happy! LOL! Crank that XM up and for sure you won't hear that groaaaaan. BUT, you're still gonna feel it in the brake pedal! It IS an annoying groan, too! I know. I couldn't stand it. Just before braking, I'd clench my teeth and just get ready for that sound. Sure enough, it never disappointed me .. it would be there just as I came to a complete stop. Ugh. So far, so good for me!! Going on week four, no noise.

My groan could be different than your groan. Mine only happens on a hard stop; just before the vehicle actually comes to a complete stop, and I can feel nothing in the brake pedal. For me to hear, I have to have the radio off...

Mine only happened on a hard stop, too. But, after a while, it didn't HAVE to be a hard stop .. it was on any COMPLETE stop (not a rolling stop.. or, as we call those here, California stops .. ). It would depend on how hot the brakes were getting. I could feel something in the brake pedal when I'd hear the sound. I felt uneasy with it. Towards the end of my complaints .. prior to the 'fix', I swear I could feel the vehicle not want to stop completely .. it felt as if it would move 1 half inch forward. I thought the brakes were beginning to slip. Not a secure feeling, expecially after going downhill and having cars in front of you. So far, so good for me! I hope it's gone forever!
