Quest Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 With 2013 Subaru Outback, is it normal to hear a clunk from releasing the brake pedal? Doesn’t happen all the time and more consistent when releasing the pedal faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy777 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Can you describe the "clunk" a little more? Where does it sound like it's coming from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) my knee-jerk reaction says "no" but his question above seems the most important first step...more description? left/right/front/rear? go test drive another one and see if it does the same thing. warranty if it doesn't?

Quest Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) The sound comes from the pedal itself. Almost like it is snapping back up with nothing cushioning or slowing its return. Edited February 25, 2013 by Quest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzam Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I have a new 2013 Legacy LTD with less than 800 miles on it and it does not make any sounds at the pedal, I don't recall my mother-in-laws 2011 Outback doing it either. I think I would have noticed if it did (or she would have). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
