First I have strange sounds when hitting light bumps (I posted a video on this forum). Now I’m getting strange sounds when braking and it sounds like it’s coming from the front driver side wheel area. It’s a strange creaking sound (you can hear it in the video I attached). I know it’s winter and thought maybe ice trapped in the wheel/caliper area. Nope, there is no debris lodged in the caliper area. I even took it to a car wash to clean any loose debris. The sound still persists!!
Anyone else have this issue? I guess I’ll have to go to the dealership and see what they say. Already on my previous issue they couldn’t find why the strange sounds when I’m going over bumps. I’m told them I think I have front driver side suspension issues. They said everything looks fine!!

I have this weird resonance vibration noise coming from my drivers side front as well. 2 dealerships can’t figure it out. Honestly they are useless for noises, they don’t give a F.

Take it in to the Dealership.
Hopefully if I take to the dealership they will be able to figure it out. I already have another issue when hitting light bumps and they couldn’t find the issue. Check out this video I recorded. So far it’s been a waste of a trip to the dealership. I’m trying to take care of these issues while still in warranty but so far they can’t find what’s causing this.

I have a very similar issue. It seems to happen when the temps are below freezing (which they have been for a month). Let me know if you figure it out. I'll be bringing mine to the dealership also.

Same issue here and same result at dealer.

I had this exact noise. I could feel it tapping in my left foot even. I looked around, found absolutely nothing that I could identify to cause it. After weather warmed and I got a good under spray/car wash, the noise has gone away. I don’t know if that was purely coincidental or not. But it’s gone.
