WHEN I PRESS ON THE BRAKE HARD AND CONTINUALLY THERE IS A NOISE (THUMP). MY HUSBAND HAS TAKEN THE CAR IN WHERE WE BOUGHT THE CAR 3X'S AND WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL ON THE FRONT BRAKES. I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THAT ANSWER. I JUST WANT TO KNOW IS THIS NORMAL FOR THE CAR I BOUGHT. IS IT SAFE. THE CAR IS BEAUTIFUL AND TO DRIVE AROUND AND HEAR A NOICE WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE IS NOT ACCEPTABLE ON SUCH A BEAUTIFUL CAR. I HAVE AN AUDIO OF THE SOUND I'M HEARING WHILE BREAKING. AND A VIDEO OF THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP SAYING THIS WAS ACCEPTABLE NORMAL. I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR 10-29-2019.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2015 Lexus Rc F verdict →
