I have a 2013 Hyundai Elantra 1.8L AT with 14K miles. There is a clicking sound coming from the left side of the front passenger floorboard when I am braking at low speeds or at idle. When moving slowly or at idle and pressing/releasing the brake pedal, I’m hearing this click / clack sound coming from the floorboard. I don’t hear the sound when braking at higher speeds or when braking in reverse gear. This is the first time I am hearing this clicking sound since I bought the car new. Any ideas about this issue? Thanks!

If you hear it when stopped and not moving then I would suspect the pedal linkage. If coming up through the floor board I am not sure. One thing I do know you should be under warranty I think, so let the dealer check it out if you do not find it.
The clicking sound can be heard in park, neutral and drive when the brake pedal is pressed and released. When it’s in reverse, there is no clicking sound when pressing/releasing the brake pedal. Listening to the clicking sound again, it seems like the sound might be right below the gear shift console.
well I am going by my car. there is a safety switch that only allows the gear shift to move out of park or back into reverse or park when in drive when pressing the brake. that is so you do not put it in drive or reverse or back to park without the brake applied. the brake pedal has the switch that activates a solenoid that lets you move the gear shift. If coming from under the console I would remove the console and see if it is the solenoid. see if there is an access panel by chance so you do not have to remove all the trim pieces. good luck and take it easy.
