I'm not sure if this is cold weather related (only 1 or 2 degrees overnight here for a couple of nights) or a known parking brake problem. Wife drove the car today and when she stopped to park put the parking brake on but said there was no racheting sound (clicking). When she got back in to drive she released the brake and the brake light went out but as she was driving there a noise. She says it didn't feel as if the brakes were still on but after wiggeling the brake handle the noise stopped. Just rolled 1000 miles. I'm guessing it's cold weather related but I'm not sure. Still no sound when applying the parking brake and the light goes out when released.

Is this something to have the dealer check out? I'm guessing I should. Total driving with the noise was only a couple of miles.
