Default Click sound after turning off the car

Hey guys, have a 2015 nismo 370z (Automatic Trans) and for some reason every time i park then turn off the car a loud clicking noise happens and it sounds like the parking brake engaging? Is this normal? Also is your guys brake's sensitive? When pressing the brakes its really good kind've but at a full stop, releasing the brakes makes a slight *thump noise and feels like the brakes were holding the rotor so tight.

I'm pretty sure it is just your exhaust system starting to 'tic' as it cools. I could be wrong as I have a manual, but both my Z and Automatic Juke tic themselves cool after driving. Especially if you've gotten on it right before shutting off.

If it's just a single click, then my guess is a relay or some other control device turning off. Or it could be a security device turning on.

Probably the pads are sticking to the rotors. You may need to bed your brakes. Or modify how you brake (do most of your braking at the beginning so things can cool down a little before a full stop). Or you may have a sticking piston.

I have the same problem, 370z Sport (Automatic Trans). Did you figure out what was the issue? is it Normal ?
I am not sure, but it might be related to steering lock! Maybe ?

Hope to get an answer for this ...
