Hybrid Clicks & Clunks When Turning Vehicle Off

[Joestac]

I've been hearing these since day one and have been assuming they are normal electrical and drive train noises. However, with my 10k service approaching I thought I check if others have them.

Less worried about the light clicking, that really seems like normal solenoid clicks. The louder clunking that is coming from under the vehicle I was unsure about. Again, been figuring it was the hybrid motor doing hybrid motor things.

Thoughts?

Is this when it’s just like sitting in your garage turned off? Totally normal. Search the threads. Similar issues.

This is only when you have been driving and you turn the vehicle off but you sit for a second without opening the door. This isn't sitting in the garage and the random EVAP noises.

I think that's electronic parking brake noise

Not sure if it is on my end, but I'm having a hard time hearing anything on the clip.
I'm at 25k and never noticed a clunk sound before while parked, Just the loud EVAP chirp after a few minutes parked.

Mine kicks in right as you turn the car off and sound more like a "futuristic whirl" sound. I can barely hear it when door is closed, but i catch it sometimes if turn the car off as I'm opening the door.

I can try and get a better sound clip with my phone closer to the ground. The two, knock knock, I am wondering about really are at 3 seconds and 19 seconds. You can feel when those happen sitting in the vehicle.

I heard exactly the same sound every time i shutting down my TH too. I think it's normal.

Yep, not worried about the parking break squeal, but that ain't what I'm hearing in this video. I can try and get a better one later. Sounds like I may be an oddity and will need to have them look at it for my coming up service.

I didn't listen to your video but my hybrid makes a similar clunk a little bit after turning it off and sitting in the truck. And it's not the electronic parking brake as its more from up front somewhere. Normal I assume...ignorance is bliss

Yep, more up front for sure. I've been in the same boat assuming it was just normal.

It's funny because we just noticed it a couple of times this past this weekend so I was purposely trying to hear it Sunday afternoon. After I sat in there for a bit and heard it, I was like, oh that's a normal noise I've heard before but had forgotten about it. And I've got almost 27k on mine

If you jump right out and close the door I don't hear it. You need to either turn off the vehicle and stay in, or just open the door. Seems if you close the door to fully shut off the electrical system, you don't get the, clunk clunk.

Yes that is definitely not the parking brake. i will keep an ear out for mine and se if I hear anything.

Agree with that.
