Rookie
I have complained to Lexus each time I take my vehicle in for service and they have replaced drive shaft and arms and it still happens. They just continue to note it on my service receipt but nothing is being done about it. I am starting to keep a log with dates because this is not normal. I have never ever had this happen with another vehicle and this is the most expensive vehicle I ever purchased. I have never been so disappointed and do not think I will buy another Lexus.

14000 miles...a clunk is heard and slightly felt when coming to a stop or upon accelerating from a stop. This occurs under normal driving, no hard braking or fast starts.

Clunk sometimes when starting off and sometimes after being at a full stop. You can feel the entire truck move. Just bought the truck from local Lexus dealer and I am taking it in for repairs.
