Automatic transmission makes a creaking sound when slowly releasing the brake, which occurs when the brake is released too slowly during starting. This is a common issue with many automatic transmission vehicles. When the brake pedal is slowly released, the engine already has sufficient power to drive the car forward, but the brake hasn't been fully released yet. As a result, the wheels that should be moving are held back by the brake system, naturally causing an abnormal sound. The solution is simply to release the brake a bit faster. Below is some related information: Automatic Transmission: As the name suggests, an automatic transmission does not require the driver to manually shift gears. The vehicle automatically selects the appropriate gear based on driving speed and traffic conditions. Generally, automatic transmission cars have six gear positions, from top to bottom: P, R, N, D, S, L. Precautions: Do not press the accelerator pedal hard while stepping on the brake or even before releasing the handbrake; Do not press the accelerator first and then shift into P or N gear; Do not press the accelerator while moving the gear lever.
