squeaking noise from brake pedal in the mornings by lwolf99

Hello. I am wondering if anyone else has come across this issue...
 
I have a Buick Enclave AWD, with pretty much all the options, including Towing package. I got it at the end of June. It has about 3,000 miles on it so far, and I really love it.
 
The last few days, I noticed something new. My Enclave is kept in our garage overnight. Lately, when I leave for work in the morning, I hear these squeaking noise coming from the brake pedal. It sounds like it is coming from inside the cabing near the the pedal itself - not from the actual brake pads or tire area. It occurs just as the pedal is nearly fully depressed, and again just as I let my foot off the pedal. It is not a scratching or squealing noise. It sort of sounds like the noise a squeegee would make when wiping water from a window after cleaning.
 
I only drive a few miles to work, and hear it evey time I press the brake pedal the whole way to work (short drive). The Enclave is parked outside during my work day. I do NOT hear the noise later on, if I go out to lunch, or when driving home.
 
It is not a terrible sound, and the brakes seems to work fine. It is just a little annoying.
 
Has anyone else has experienced this noise or heard of this issue.

I have heard in other vehicles. Sounds like the bushing in the brake pedal arm needs some lubricant.

Strike Delays by hardhawk

I wonder how long the GM strike will delay all the Lamba's on order? I think the UAW is shooting itself in the foot, but time will tell. Sorry for all of you who have them on order.

About day for day. The plants will do a slow startup but should not delay too many units.

I just read where the Teamsters are not going to deliver any GM products already made in solidarity with the UAW. How frustrating would that be to have your new vehicle made but sitting on a lot somewhere because it cannot get delivered!?!

I read this and think you're hearing the air vented into the vacuum booster for the power brake. When the pedal is depressed after the motor has been running, you hear a swishing sound. But turn the motor off and repeated push the pedal and the pedal height rises and the intake sound of air going in to help you push the pedal ceases.
 
But on my newer leSabre there's a slight, soft sound even after the vacuum is all gone. I must be a seal sliding on a rod or something. Tomorrow I'll get upside down and look up to see if I can see what it is. You guys have good hearing if that last sound is the one you're noticing!!!

It sounds like Buick is creating their own problems by making the Enclave too quiet. Now you can hear sounds that would normally be obscured by road noises.

That was actually one of my fears before buying. I was afraid every little rattle and squeak was going to be more noticeable. So far it is rock solid.

Part of Buick's "quiettuning" is engineering out any possible squeaks and rattles.
