My theory of why your shop can't figure out what's wrong is because by the time you take your car in to the shop, your brake pads will have cleaned off all the oxidation on your rotors, so they never experience the problem.
You can mention this as a theory to your shop and see what they think. If they say you're crazy, at least it might lead them to other theories of what it could be. If all else fails, you can write to Tom and Ray Magliozzi (the Click and Clack guys) at cartalk.com. 
The problem I have with my auto EX sedan is that when I shift from P to R, if I'm not depressing the brake with enough pressure, I'll get a loud cracking sound. Basically, if I'm not depressing the brake enough, the car is moving just ever so slightly, and when I shift from P to R, I'm not giving a chance for the tranny to properly sync up. You may have the same problem when you shift from R to N to D. You can try stepping on your brake a bit harder when you shift between P and D. |
well thanks for the suggestion however it happens all the time even if i have parked my car for lets say 10 minutes and then get back in and go from P to R to D it cracks regardless of the weather. Also i have tried pressing on the brake harder and lighter and nothing seems to help also to kero and htec17 the noise according to the techs at the honda dealership i worked for have stated that this is not a normal noise and they have also contacted Honda directly for any service bulletins or complaints on the issue and nothing. They just cant seem to find the problem not to mention the noise isnt and hasnt been the only thing wrong. And to kero if i were you and the noise is getting louder and they keep saying everything is fine i suggest getting a second opinion if you havent unless yours sounds different then mine i wouldnt think everything was fine.
