when stoipping car in garage, sometimes the braking system makes weird popping and gurgling sound after going into park...fluid level is fine, but should i get brake system bled?

 

If it's the sound I'm thinking of (whch happens after parking, within 2 to 3 minutes maybe), it's normal. I think it's mentioned in the owner's manual, or maybe I'm thinking of my service manual....pretty sure I read about it somewhere anyway.

 

funny thing it is only while car is runnig....not those other sounds that happen after car is off

 

Strange thing...

Our 2008 RX400h started making strange noises too about a week or so ago, which seem to be from the braking system. It only occurs during use of the vehicle. It typically will make the sounds (like it's releasing pressure) when at a stop at a light or stop sign. I am taking it in to my local Lexus dealership to have it diagnosed (under warranty). Let's see what they see.

 

Hey could you do us a favor, my car is past warranty, please ask them for details of exactly what they do to fix it....Good luck and thank you

 

Sorry for the late post. The culprit was a bad brake actuator. It was under warranty but if paid out of pocket, it was something in the range of $1800 parts & labor.
