I replied above with a video that does not have the e brake on. It was in traffic. Also the sound is coming from mostly the front.

Take it to your dealer and have it evaluated and corrected. That noise is not normal, for any Honda.

rear brak has the built in brake hold motor. if its gunked up, shorted you never know, but the dealer can figure out the issue,

My hybrid also developed similar sound after around 3k miles under similar circumstances. FWIW I have auto parking brake on IGN off enabled as I very often park on a hill.

I'll see whether the dealer can address it.

Hello Folks

My CRV 2019 Hybrid makes the same noise since new. I have now about 40000 miles.
It is only when releasing the brakes slowly at low speed. Especially when you are rolling downhill at walking speed and braking slowly it makes this noise during brake release.
So it has noting to do with Brake hold or Park brake.
I asked the Dealer several times what we can do against.
But he said it is no problem it is only an accustical resonanz created by rubbing at low speed.
On my opinion it has something to do with the material of the Brake Pads.
Shure it no safety problem.
I will let you know when I find out more.

This issue manifested today in a new way: the car refused to roll backwards after releasing the parking brake and brake pedal. I had to apply gas and then it kind of jerked.

But he said it is no problem it is only an accustical resonanz created by rubbing at low speed.

Did you show the video as in the first post? It is very different from screeching sound.

Visited a Honda dealer today. Shown the video and even took a service representative (not a mechanic though) on a ride where I was able to reproduce exactly the same groaning as in the video. He was able to reproduce it too when we switched places.

However, I was told that this sound is normal for all Hondas 🤦‍♂️ and otherwise brakes operate without issues. He suggested to release the brake pedal in one go instead of slowly.

Going to show it to another dealer over the weekend and, if that fails, visit an independent shop.

As a tech for GM for about 6 years (I have since gotten out of the business), this sounds a lot like the brakes still trying to grab as you slowly release the pedal. I can re-create this sounds in all of my vehicles. It's worse when the brakes are wet. If you come to a stop and very slowly release the brake pedal, you'll hear this creaking noise as the vehicle starts to move forward, but the brakes are still trying to grab - it's hard to describe the situation.

I can confirm that my 2010 Pilot, 2011 CTS coupe, 2009 Civic coupe, 2018 Pacifica, 2014 Fiat Abarth, 2018 C300, and 2018 Civic all make this noise when very slowly releasing the brake pedal.

Yep.. it is basically the brake system responding to the drivers light footing the brake, and with very slow release like this, very often the brake pads will bind to the rotor just a bit because the driver still has some pressure applied to the brake pedal. It causes brake stuttering, and that can in turn resonate up into the vehicle as well, thus amplifying the noise some.

If there is any warp to the rotor at all, even very minor and still well within spec, it can exaggerate this effect. And hybrid drive probably is a factor in this as well as it may be applying more modest force to move the vehicle than say in a CRV with a 1.5T engine which can and will move at 5+ miles per hour on it's own on idle on flat ground with the brakes not applied.

I'm guessing this is getting reported more on hybrid CRVs because the vehicle with it's different drive modes, and with regen braking in play, owners are using the brakes differently than on an ICE version.

Hello to all having this Noise when slowly releasing the brake.
It is now all most 3 years I have this problem since new.
The Honda Dealer always said this is not a problem.
Now I got it fixed.
How ?
I told the Honda dealer (Garage doing the Services) what they should do while they are changing the Wheels with Winter Tires.
Remove the Brake Pads from the forward Brakes clean them and apply same cooper grease on the piston side (not the Disk side) and reinstall them.
Now the noise has gone.
Hopefully this works also on your car.

I often park on a steep incline and among all other cars. from beaten trucks to slick new BMWs, mine is the only one that produces this creaking sound while I perform parallel parking. As careful and slow brake release is the only way to operate under this circumstances, how is that my CR-V is the only car that embarass itself?

Nice, my first service is soon and I will ask techs to do just this when they rotate tires.

Unfortunately, I don't think I have a good answer for you on this one. Is it possible that the CR-V is still new enough that the rotors haven't developed that shiny "glaze" yet? Maybe they are biting a little more aggressively than the other vehicles? Either way, if you aren't happy with the explanation (or dismissal) of the issue from the first dealership, then for sure visit another and get their take on it. If they have another Hybrid on the lot (which, in my experience, is almost none of them) ask to take it for a ride and see if you can recreate the noise.

FWIW, I had a rotation done at an independent shop recently and asked the mechanic to check the brakes, specifically mentioned lubrication. Don't know what they did (the invoice only says that the brakes passed visual inspection), but noise is not as severe now.

Yet it's not quiet. I'll ask to take the brakes off an check them thoroughly next time.

I have a 2021 hybrid. I’ve noticed the brakes sound awfully loud when releasing them. For example going from park to reverse. Is this just new brakes being worn in? I’ve had lots of new cars and never heard brakes make this much noise. Is this a hybrid thing? Also the brakes don’t make a bit of noise during regular stopping. Only when at a stop and releasing them to start driving or reversing.

video of the noise:

Thanks!

Thanks for sharing. I have been suffering same creep groan sympthoms. In my case a recent pads replacement service can be linked with the issue .

Brakes Groan When Released [3 Reasons To Know ]

Brakes groan when released because of put aftermarket pads, brake pads are not chamfered yet, brake pads get worn out. Read to know now.

Hi

Did you get the issue of your brakes sorted, if so what was the issues

OP to this thread has long since vanished.

Please start a new thread in the UK section if it relates to a UK CR-V. Thanks!
