At 1750 miles I finally got the dreaded brake pedal creaking noise. Not a big deal, but somewhat annoying.
Gonna try some WD-40 on a few mechanical connections. Once I find the culprit I'll use mechanical grease on it.

Unless someone else has found a fix for it.

I have the same going on, drives me insane. I really only hear is at very slow speed stops but it’s annoying to hear on a new car. Please update if you locate it, I’d like to address amine as well. If I find mine first I’ll come back here and update as well.

Does this creak happen when you are stationary, holding it on the brakes and very slightly ease the pressure to let the car creep forward?
If so, mine does it, and it's only a resonance of the pads vibrating on the rotor.

I hear it when I'm near a stop, not when driving above 15mph or so, and it doesn't always do it either. It is intermittent.

If it's not a metallic scraping sound it's usually pad noise and nothing to worry about. We used to use CRC Brakleen on the pads to get rid of it.

Can you record a video of the creak?

For some reason it hasn't done it in a while. Currently on a trip up in Upstate NY from VA. When it manifests again I'll get it on video.

I have never heard of this before. Is it the pedal or the brakes?

My 2022 S550 had it, then it went away completely. Hope it doesn’t transfer to my S650.

I didnt have it, and today it started. I hope it goes away itself, otherwise I'm going to spray some oil on parts that I can reach and see if that helps. Otherwise I will give it a month or so before taking it to a shop to look at it.

I saw on some video's in the past that it's a known issue but not dangerous in any way.

Maybe humidity from shipping?

Yeah, I haven't heard mine in probably 2 months. Just went away on its own.
