I have 2014 Honda Civic; couple of months ago, my car's brakes started making a weird 'Clicking' sound when I would apply brakes first time after my car is parked for say around 30 mins or so. Once made the sound, it won't make that sound again while my driving until the car is again parked for some decent amount of time.

I just got my Civic serviced for code B1 and I told dealer about this sound but on getting the delivery, they told they didn't do anything about that sound since they couldn't reproduce it. Funny part is, the moment I started pulling my car out of their parking, it made that sound :).

Does anyone know what could be causing this sound? I'm worried that brakes shouldn't fail while I'm with my family on a highway. Thanks in advance.

Next time you hear it click, come to a full stop, back up a bit, apply the brakes again to come to a stop, and try it forward again, listening for another click. If it clicks again, I'd say either the pads are loose enough to slide a bit or possibly the caliper slide pins. I wouldn't worry about safety in either case.

Click sound on first stop could be floating calipers, which are probably operating as designed.

When you back up they move back into position and click when driven. Again, this is normal behaviour.
