Last time it got to the point were I did feel it in the brake peddle.
I guess in time it will get worse.

Fourfourto, it'ssssssssssss baaaack! AGHHHH!!! But, not all of the time. I heard it once yesterday after braking going down a steep hill and coming to a 'sort of' abrupt stop at the base. Then, again today on a flat surface at a stop sign. I'm not going to think about it right now. I'm going back to the dealer in a couple of days to have my two A pillar moulding replaced (my parts just came in) and for an oil change. I don't know if I'll mention the groan now or not .. or wait until it starts to get bad again. Plus, I want to see what f5fstop finds out about his. How is yours doing, fourfourto?

If your going in I would mention it.
Let us know how you make out.
Mines not that bad at this point.
In the last couple weeks I havent been using the e brake at all.Normally I used it every day in my driveway.
Not sure if its related ,just not using it as a experiment to see if it has to do with using e brake every day.
Its not as bad so far only time will tell.

I'll let you know, fourfourto. BUMMER!!! I'll mention it and see if they go anywheres with it. This is the dealer who told me it was 'normal', remember? I use my e-brake when I park on a slope, but I don't park on the slope daily ..maybe only once/twice a week max. You should have heard me in the 3 the second I heard that groan yesterday after NOT having it for a couple of months!!!!

[fourfourto]

I didnt drive the H3 in a week my wife uses it daily.
We were driving and I came to a long stop..It went Grrroun grounnnn grr... I go when did it get that bad,she goes Its NORMAL and laughs Then says how can those F*cks call that normal .
Ill probobly bring it back to the dealer in a week or two.




Hmmm3 any word from your dealer ?

Funny thing seems like its comming from the front but im not sure.

Im getting a new digital camera this weekend maybe Ill take a video with sound and list it .

It would be GREAT if you could put the groan sound in the post! Then we could compare notes and see if we're talking about the same sound. Sit in the back seat while your wife drives .. you should hear it in the rear.
Wellll, <grrrrrrrrrrrr>, I took mine to the dealer yesterday for my A pillars to be changed out and oil change/ tire rotation, etc. I should probably wait a few days before I write about the BIG welcome I received when I drove in. (not!) That's a whole 'nother story. Anyways, I mentioned to the service writer that the groan came back .. I heard it twice in 2 days. (I'd probably be hearing it all of the time, but I'm rolling to a stop and praying it goes away). I asked if they could check it out .. he barked back, "Not if you need it back in 3 1/2 hours!!" Ahhh, it's great when you get good customer service, isn't it? I told him I needed it back by a certain time, plus I opted to wait for it rather than take a loaner. I told him I'll keep an eye on it and bring it back if I keep hearing it. He nodded.

Is there any update on this problem ? I'm having the same problem now. The grinding sound is like the front brake caliper is touching to the wheel, and the brake pedal is also vibrated simultaneously. But, there is no impression of rubbing between a brake caliper and a wheel.

I have no chance to check the grinding sound from outside. Therefore, I can't tell you whether or not mine is the same sound as the one you are experiencing. But, the timing when the sound is generated is the same as yours. It's just before a complete stop.
