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.

 

Can you describe the "clunk" a little more?  Where does it sound like it's coming from?

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?

The sound comes from the pedal itself. Almost like it is snapping back up with nothing cushioning or slowing its return.

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).

Found an extensive thread that includes a number posts on this exact same issue
