Lexus GX 2004-09 :: Clunk / Thud Noise When Braking Or Accelerating

My 2007 GX470 is making a clunk/thud noise when braking (more often when braking hard or on a downhill slope) and then again when I let off the brakes and start to accelerate. It is significant enough that I can feel the car jerk some when it happens, almost as if someone has tapped the back with their car. What it could be?

Toyota - Transmissions - Landcruiser :: Thud Noise (sometimes) When Went From Stop To Go

I drove my 2001 land cruiser into the shop after a 3 hour drive - it was making a thud noise (sometimes) when I went from stop to go. Felt like transmission. They called and said they put it on the lift and heard a thud from the transfer case, put it down, and now it cannot go in forward or reverse, just grinds. I said - I drove it in - they replied it must have just gone out when they had it.

So, my wife tells me that the interior lights have been flashing on. When she accelerates from a stop that blink on for a second. I figure she has not shut a door well but it appears that she has. I have not had a chance to check the doors.

Lexus GX 2004-09 :: Thud When Take Foot Off Of The Brake When Stopped And Start Driving Again

I just purchased a 2004 GX with only 45K miles and I love the truck. I have driven one with the TSB clunk and my current problem is different. When I stop at a light and go to start driving again I feel a thud when I take my foot off of the brake. There is no problem when I stop just when I go to start again. Is this a serious problem or normal?

I talked to Lexus before buying the truck and they said that the TSB fix had been repaired.

Hyundai - Elantra :: 2004 - Loud Thud Noise On Passenger Side - CEL Came On

I drive a 2004 Hyundai Elantra with 72,000 miles on it. For the last few weeks, I've been hearing loud thud sounds on the passenger side when the car is cold or fairly cold. It almost sounds like someone is throwing tennis balls at the passenger side door while I'm driving. It happens when I'm stopped or when I'm driving - either way. Today, the Check Engine light went on; I don't know if it's related.

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: Rear Driver Side Door Lock Stuck And Stop Functioning

My rear driver-side door's lock just stopped functioning. It is in the locked position and I can't put it in the unlocked position using the key or manually (and I've tried using a LOT of force). The door itself is actually not locked. When I lock and unlock the doors, all the other doors work fine, and the broken one tries to lock and unlock, but it is stuck hard in it's position. But, the door stays unlocked under all circumstances.

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: 2005 - Clicking / Rattling Then A Whirring Noise Followed By A Dull Thud

2005 F150 Lariat package with 63,000 miles. Ok... thought I had a cat crawl up in thew engine to stay warm...but alas no cat found. Got off of work and headed home, clicking/rattling noise from the front passenger side dash, then a whirring noise followed shortly there after by a dull thud (hence the cat scenario). Happened twice on the way home (~15miles) ...

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: Rubbing / Pulsing Noise When Coming To A Stop

My 2006 AWD RX330 rotors were starting to get warped so I changed them out along with new pads. I put new rotors in the front and new pads all around. Everything went smoothly other than getting the bottom rear slider pins to go back in easily.

Well it's been a week now and I noticed that if I press on the brakes at low speeds say 20-30 mph with a decent amount of pressure nothing too crazy there is a rubbing/pulsing noise right before i stop completely. It doesn't happen right when I apply the brake but right before the stop. It kind of sounds like the ABS is kicking in but i don't feel it in the pedal like you do for ABS or I don't hear the electrical noise you hear from ABS.

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: ABS Noise And Shudder Coming To A Full Stop

I've read about transmission shift problems between certain gears with these cars but don't know if my symptom applies. 2004, AWD with 35k miles, however mostly short stop and go driving.

When applying the brakes to come to a complete stop, there's kind of a abrupt downshift that I can even feel in the brake pedal. The car even has a last second little shake and a bit of a clunk..

Difficult to describe, so here's a short YouTube video as well. (you may have to turn up the vol to hear it)

Definitely not the transmission. Pulling the ABS/VSC/TC fuse , the car brakes normally. Skid control affects turning in curves and TC affects acceleration. So, it's ABS related..

Passat (B5) :: Thud Sound When Accelerate From Dead Stop

I have just bought a 2000 Passat 30valve V6, from a dead stop when I accelerate it makes a weird "thud" sound and feeling under my feet, almost like when you have a broken tranny mount on a chevy. I have been told that it is the "TPS" or throttle body?? It does not do this shifting into any other gear.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2001 - Loud Thud And Again Thud Then Drive Normal?

While driving my 2001 F350 7.3 today running errands it started to have a real concerning issue. Once I slowed down back into my neighborhood it would make a thud, then feel like someone was pushing the brakes (even when i gave it gas). Then it would thud again and drive normal. I'm worried its the transmission getting ready to go. Any input?

Accent LC (2000-05) :: Auto Trans Will Thud When Coming To A Quick Stop

I have an '05 accent with an auto trans. The car only has 25k on it with the original trans fluid. Every once in a while the trans will thud when coming to a quick stop. It actually doesn't even make a noise, but you can feel it going into presumably 1st gear. It only happens when I need to semi-quickly stop for a yellow light etc. right as I'm coming to a complete stop. Trans seems completely fine otherwise. Is this a normal thing? Just an older style/technology auto?

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: Flapping Noise From Rear On High Speeds

Thought it was another AC flap that is playing up but it was the small plastic flap next to the tyre that was giving me the headache.

Still, could not find the rattle at the rear which i think is caused by the underfloor storage compartments. Thats for another day.

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: Clunk Noise From Rear During Slow Speed

Problem is noise that you can describe as clunk, not any harsh or sharp sound. It appears on road bumps or unevenness during slow speed up to about 40kph/25mph. The noise has not been heard over that speed even in bad bumpy roads.

List of thing I've done so far:
- Driven with empty rear compartments
- Driven with open rear door
- Checked the tightness of spare tyre
- Replaced rear stabilizer bar linkages
- Replaced rear stabilizer bar bushings
- Replaced rear axle carrier knuckle bushings

Could it be possible not coming from rear? Should I sit in the cargo space while somebody else driving, any success with this? What to do next?

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: Rear Suspension Clunking Noise When Go Up A Slanted Driveway

Noticed this rear suspension noise on their RX330's. Every time I go up a slanted driveway (driving into a driveway at an angle, not head on), there is a clunking noise coming from the right rear of the car. The sounds it makes is almost as if I the spare tire is lose hitting on the right side of the car. This only happens if I am driving into a driveway coming from the right side, the sounds does not happen if I am entering my driveway from the left side.

Camry :: Thud Sound When Rear Tires Run Over A Bump

I am getting a thud sound when the rear tires run over a bump no matter big or small. I removed the tire jack and it is still there. Could the sound be coming the rear struts or maybe the sway bar bushings? It seems to have gotten worse the last several months.

Lexus GX 2004-09 :: Grinding Noise Coming From Rear Passager Side While Stopped

Okay so this is strange. There is a metal grinding/dragging noise coming from the rear passenger side of the car. I have a '05 GX470 with air suspension. On the first look I don't appear to be dragging anything and everything looks good with the brakes. I also noticed the noise persists after stopping sometimes but when I shift to neutral it disappears. So here is my list of suspects:

- Eroded muffler (there was an exhaust leak)
- Air suspension because I don't know anything about it
- Differentials
- Transmission

Anything else I missed?

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: RX350 - Rear End Noise Squeaks / Groans Rubbing Sounds

I had this problem before on my 2009 RX350 and took it to the dealer - they were stumped at first but eventually figured out it was the spare tire making noise every time I made a turn into a driveway or went over a little hill/bump.

They did something to adjust it or tighten it and the jack etc. and it went away. Now the sound is back, big time. How to adjust the spare to get rid of this. Also if there's a hack to pad or insulate the spare that would be great.

I also found another thread on a similar thing but it's talking about struts, shocks and trailing arms on 3rd generations. [URL] ....
