So as I am slowing to a near stop it seems like something with the front driver side brakes is clicking. It starts fast once I reach 5-10mph and slows as the car comes to a stop.

I am going to get my brakes done since it is needed anyway, maybe it will go away. I was posting to see if anybody else had a similar issue??????

Thanks!

Ha that's so funny. Mine just started doing that in the front left. I think I used up a lot of brake towing a 4000lb trailer across the country.

This clicking noise is usally caused by these little metal clips that hold the brake pads in position. Everytime i had these noises, i removed the caliper, the pads and these metal clips. Cleaned all these parts of from gunk and brake dust, then regrease the clips with copper paste or other suitable brake grease and the noises were gone...

1+. Brake pads are meant to click, or squeal when low. Safety feature added to pads to warn driver to replace! or may be something stuck in between pads n rotor, have seen it before, but u usually will know. Id replace pads personally first.
