Hi!

When at full stop, I hear a rattling sound from the front of the car and I also feel a vibration through the brake pedal. Then the sound and vibration goes away when the car moves.

What could be the cause of these issues?

Maybe it’s the brake fluid that needs to be changed and also check the calipers

Could be timing chain that can cause a rattle in the engine bay depending on the car wouldn’t explain the vibration in the brake pedel though do you still get the rattle when stopped if you are not on the brake ?

The car is a ‘06 honda jazz/fit CVT. Yes, rattling and vibrations are still heard and felt even when my foot is off the brake pedal (when on N or P).

Sounds like you have a diesel. I would recommend changing it for a petrol

Typically when the ABS system kicks in, your pedal will shudder/vibrate and you’ll hear a rattling noise. This is because the ABS system is pumping your brakes many times a second, each vibration and rattle noise is one pumping motion.

However, this should only really be occurring when your wheels lock during motion (ie during a skid), so if it’s happening while at standstill, your ABS unit is probably faulty. It could be that the unit believes the wheels to be locked during motion when infact your car is at a complete stop. Either way, you should get your ABS unit looked into.

Its possible you’ve a small leak or air in the brake lines, theres a long list of possibilities though like a broken valve near the brake pump/resevoir/ booster . So just try to isolate the sound, try pop the hood and figure out where its coming from.

Most likely engine mounts man, based from what your describing. Pop the bonnet, have someone sit in the car with their foot on the brakes, then pop it in reverse and give it a small rev (if it’s auto), if manual, then just slowly ride the clutch in reverse (like doing a hill start) and whilst they do that, see if your motor is pivoting back a foward more that a cm or two. Engine mount problems are often noisy when at idle, as there is no torque effect holding it in place from the motor, but when driving, motor trys to twist fowards and keeps tension on the mount.

Can’t help you much more over the internet man, but if you have more details shout out

Thanks Chris. Yeah, been getting the same answers from other forums as well. Engine and Transmission supports might need to be replaced. Next thing they wanted me to check was the CVT.

Also I can 99 percent guarantee it’s nothing the do with your actually brake system, it’s just that because the brake pedal is bolted to the firewall, you will be feeling vibrations through the pedal, from whatever is rattlin around in the engine bay.

No point bleeding brakes or am my of that other stuff you guys where saying to do, sorry, but that won’t do anything haha
