Consumer Description

I BOUGHT A LEXUS GX470 IN APRIL 2003. AROUND DEC. 2006, SOMETIMES WHEN I WOULD PUT ON THE BRAKES, I WOULD HEAR A THUMP ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE IN THE REAR. IT FEELS LIKE SOMETHING HITS THE BUMPER. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME, BUT IT HAPPENS ENOUGH THAT IT IS VERY, VERY NOTICEABLE. I HAVE NOT TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. I JUST RECENTLY FOUND OUT THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. *JB
