Thanks for the rec's. The dealership that I've been going to doesn't check rotors, they just resurface them. I've always been told that that's just bs and a ploy to make more money off you. If I'm being forced to resurface then I'd rather just replace. I could always go to a different shop, but I've briefly read that the brakes have something that only dealerships can fix? Or is that just when you mess with the brake lines? Either way, I need to get used to the weird pull sensation when braking and should probably get the calipers checked out. Thanks again

Has anyone experienced a short honk or honking when the car is started? I replicate it whenever I want, but seems like it happens more when after I start the car, I put my foot on the brake and release the foot brake. Car is a 2006 RX 400h.

I have a 2006 RX 400h, just purchased a few months ago. When I hit the brakes I feel the regenerative braking happen and it always seems to "pull" the car to the left. I'm not sure if when the car starts to "pull" that it is the regen or the friction brakes doing this, but I don't feel it should be happening. Is this normal? I don't like feeling like I'm not in control of the car or for it to do what I don't want it to do. Also, not sure at what speeds, but seems to happen more when I'm accelerating or going at higher speeds and need to hit the brakes harder, there is a very noticeable stutter in what feels like the car is going from regen to friction where it seemingly losses braking friction or grabbing power. Not sure what this is, but it happens only for a split second. And split seconds matter when you are trying to safe a life or lives. Lastly, when we got the car the rear brakes had about 40% left. I'm looking to replace all rotors and brakes. Any suggestions on both and where to purchase?
