Here's what happens:
1) Back out of a driveway or garage (reverse)
2) Put her into drive and move forward
3) The first time I use the brakes I hear a click / pop in the front
This does not happen again until I reverse.
A dealership and a standard tire/brake shop both told me this is from the shifting of the brake assembly (rotors?) when I reverse the car and then proceed forward. The "clicking" is the assembly being moved forward after it was shifted backward. One mechanic pointed out a metallic plate in the brake area (sorry for lack of detail) and said it was a spring that only Mazda could replace. The Mazda service tech said there's nothing wrong with it, and compared it to Corvettes which are worse in doing this. My issue is that my 6 has not done this in the first 24 of the 30 months I've owned it. It's a minor issue, but annoying at the same time. Anyone else have it? Any resolution?
