engaging the parking brake - creak
When I engage the parking brake while on an incline like a driveway, turn off the vehicle, then release the brake (or vice versa on the last two), there's a really prominent creak even from inside of the cabin. I've experienced it on other driveways of varying degrees as well - I know there's something that is engaged that locks things in place but the creak... does that bother anyone else? Doesn't happen on flat ground of course... just wondering if it should be as loud as it is and if you guys notice it. On other vehicles, once the parking brake is engaged, it's locked pretty solidly in place but not the X... there's more initial give than usual.
I want to be sure it's not a mechanical problem relating to a suspension creak of similar sound I sometimes get when going over bumps (which of course didn't happen when the service guy rode with me).
