My wonderful 2012 dodge avenger sxt started a clicking noise today.

When turned on and depressing the brake pedal and pulling the gear shifter out of park there is a clicking noise that can be heard and felt. Two dealerships have said "it's normal" - how so? Since the day I drove it off of the showroom floor it's been silent until now. Any ideas? It's driving me crazy. (No pun intended).

Thanks all
