At roughly 15-25 mph if i let off the gas and then get back to it lightly, i'm hearing a, what i would say, metal on metal type sound. It's not real loud but enough to make me wonder what it is and if it's a bad thing. If any of you guys can understand what i mean or have heard the sound in your car please help. it almost sounds like it's coming from the middle of the car, if that helps. It also makes a similar noise when braking for a stop sign at low speeds, could it be the pads shifting, or hopefully not, a worse case scenario. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I've not heard anything like that. I'd take it to a dealer ASAP.

I get that sound a lot on my 1990 Buick POS, and I think its a very bad sound. Id go take it in for a checkup.

That is what the warranty is for, bring it in and have the dealer test drive it. John

yes, mine does it too. Dealer said they couldn't hear it and couldn't find it. Will take him for a ride tomorrow. Exactly, after letting off of the gas at low speeds, metal rubbing on metal sound, even does it for a sec after the car comes to a stop.

Hmm... Possibly a loose heat shield? I know as cars get older, then tend to rattle upon decel and stop, but it's possible yours wasn't shot down all the way.
