Brakes making a click when stopped - GreenHybrid

I've just noticed my my 2006 Escape is making a clicking sound for a few seconds after I come to a complete stop. It sounds as thought the regenerative braking switch is clicking on and off under the vehicle.

Anyone else notice this? Is it normal?

Well, there is no switch for regenerative braking (it's all done in software) so it's likely something else. Is this when you shut down? Might just be the exhaust system cooling down...

Nope - it's just making this clicking noise for a few seconds after we come to a complete stop - even when the ICE has been off for a while. It's coming to a complete stop that triggers it - and it lasts for 8 to 10 seconds.

We had a similar sound from a Ford Expedition rear AC vent switch that would cycle. It was trying to close, but couldn't do it. It would wait a second and try again...

I have a Prius and if I press down hard on my brakes I also get a clicking sound... Its almost a beep... While we don't have the same cars this could all be part of the same situation

The only thing I notice when coming to a stop is the fuel sloshing back and forth in the tank.
