RX e-brake clunk
Hi guys,
My 2010 rx makes a really loud clunk noise whenever i release the e-brake. I have the touring package with 19inch wheels and I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem. I have had this problem ever since it was new I ahve taken it in once already for the 1600km check but the dealer just kept the car all day and never fixed the problem. I am sure I can fix the problem by taking the rear brakes apart but I dont want to void the warranty or anything. I just hate lexus service thats all.
Thanks

Yeah exactly what jay man said, it is a loud clunk I can hear inside the vehicle and outside the vehicle, I called lexus to make an appoitment and told them to fix the problem and DO NOT call me until it is fixed as I wont come pick up the vehicle until it is fixed. We will see what happens otherwise I will go to another lexus dealer.

My tranny is quiet. It's not like the regular FWD tranny which used to make noise when shifting among gears.
As for the clunk sound in e-brakes, it seems normal, especially when parking on the roads with incline, part of car's weight will kind of lean against your brakes. When you release them, the "clunk" sounds will be heard.
Give it a try. You will hear londer clunk when releasing it after parking on the steep slope.

I had the AWD rx 330 and the transmission never knew which gear to go in and clunked all the time. As for the 2010 rx 350 I hear a loud clunk when I release the e-brake when I park on a very flat surface with no incline at all.

Just try to clarify... The noise I meant above was from the standing-still situation, when ****ing from D to R to P or out of P. If my auto tranny makes the noise like I drive 6MT, I'll send to the shop for the check-up.

I had a clunk from e-brake, but it was hear when you drive slowly on bumpy road and one of windows is opened...that was the problem with one of pretentioners of e-brake in brake drums...
Now I have some noise from rear brake pads, mostly one reversing and starting to touch brake pedal...rear brake pads, like to move in place, with some noise that actualy is getting very annoying already...dealer have still no idea how to fix THIS problem..

Same here. My '05 RX had a clunky transmission at low speeds moving through the neighborhood.

I wonder if when you're releasing the brake slowly, very slowly, you still hear the loud noise? I don't think tire size should have any bearing on the noise.

I find the noise on releasing my emergency brake to be normal. I have just a little clicking sound under the rear of the car, as I "slowly" release the brake.
