There is a noise that many of these vehicles suffer as a symptom from a problem in the brake system. It produces a honking or grunting type sound when firm pressure is applied to the brake pedal.

I have been having a loud barking sound near the driver side lower side near or behind the firewall. This occurs regularly when braking and even occurs when I depress the brake so I can turn the car on. It mostly happens when nearing a complete stop and pressing the brakes moderately. The pedal will even vibrate like a cell phone with noise. There appears slightly reduced braking response as this happens although not much. It sounds like old pipes with fluid moving through it but sharper. Very disappointing for Lexus.

Brake actuator squawking brakes make a squawking noise when coming to a complete stop. The brake pedal vibrates during this time. Lexus of el cajon is refusing to acknowledge this issue even after a diagnostician recreated the event during a test drive.
