"click" sound when accelerating from hold

[RIV206]

Never noticed this until today. While at a stop and vehicle in 'hold', as soon as I step on accelerator, I can hear an audible click when I assume the brakes are letting go. Never heard before until today and loud enough to be annoying. Anyone else heard this before?

I had it from day 1, and it seems normal, you just did not mention this before.

I have it and scheduled to have “washer fix installed on axle half shafts” they say it is a known issue

I had service check it out. (I've had this since day 1 and I think it's gotten worse over time)

If it's a ..ping and it's one of your first accelerations (like pulling out of your garage/driveway), it's likely the brakes releasing from the calipers on a cold start.

Otherwise, it's 'typical' suspension noise. Or so I'm told. I've seen people claim half-shaft backlash and similar, but my senior service advisor told me my truck was 'perfect' in that regard. So, either it is, or he didn't feel like doing the work...!

Interesting. I’ve never had it before in 8 months of owning it until now.

Does not fix the issue. Per experience

I've had this for a little bit (Picked up late Dec '23, don't recall it at pickup but I'm unsure) - have 2300 miles on it, and it's been driving me crazy. It really peaked my curiosity when the brake assist update came because I heard it EVERY time I let off the accelerator with it on, like the brakes are prepping to be used.

I just switched to rock climb mode a few minutes ago because I read you can disable hold mode in it(you can) and when I did that I couldn't hear/feel it. I'll bring it up if I ever need to bring it in but at this point since it appears (for me) to only be on brakes auto-applying I'm just going to chalk it up to a quirk unless it gets worse.
