ive heard a sound like that when my brake pad caliper clip fell out.

I was getting a loud clicking or clunking sound sometimes when braking. This was right after the dealer did some brake service at 15,000 miles.

When I took it back to the dealer and complained about the noise, they replaced the rotors. Problem fixed. I don't know whether replacing the rotors actually fixed the noise or that they just got the brakes put back together right.

its more like metal snapping out of place..weird..

Brian · 07-30-2009, 03:01 PM

Could it be caliper knockback?

marcus · 07-30-2009, 04:44 PM

Assume your wheels lugs are nice and tight?

Yes, I have. It's actually the ABS doing that. You only hear it when you are braking and the front tires are at a points where they slip or skid. Just goes to show how good the ABS on the Yaris are. By hearing it, at least you know it's working.

Yeah, I have a metallic clanking sound when I step on my brakes, but doesn't happen all the time. Only happens when it's changing directions, for example, if I reverse, then go forward and brake, it'll produce the sound.

That sound you are hearing, could be the spring on the strut making that noise. It's nothing to worry about though.

Aothachos · 08-04-2009, 04:44 AM

Well when i go into reverse and brake i hear a click in my brakes thats all, otherwise braking any other way i hear nothing, its only in reverse for some reason =/ I'm not sure what that is

Could be either that, or what my friend said about the pads just shifting, which is also nothing to worry about. Thanks.

marcus · 08-04-2009, 03:55 PM

men hope so...its not that bad i hear it once in a while not all the time.

Lucas13 · 04-19-2010, 06:10 PM

I’m having this type of noise, when Im going very slow to park facing forward and apply the brake, it happens also when I brake a little bit hard I can hear the noise and feel some vibration on the floor, My mechanic checked the control arms and there is some unusual play on them.

captaincrunch · 04-19-2010, 06:56 PM

When you brake hard, how the the pedal feel?
