edd Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I've had my 400h for about six months, just got the first oil change and a total of about 5500 miles. I just noticed a clunking noise that occurs when I put the car in drive from park after it has been sitting for a while. It only happens the first time I put the car in gear, no other times. Anyone else experienced this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX400h Posted October 21, 2006 Share Posted October 21, 2006 That would be the basketball you left in the back! Seriously, a bad motor mount would do the same thing; however, this is extremely unlikely. I'd have it checked by the same dealership more sooner than later. It is doubtful that anything done during the oil change caused this malady, but I've heard of weirder things happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else experienced this? If it has been sitting and any moisture has accumulated on the brake discs, could be as simple as surface corrosion causing the brake pad to stick a little.

That could very well cause the clunking noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
