Clunk Sound when Braking is normal?!
So each time I go reverse and then go forward.. and when I press on brake... it makes this huge "CLUNK" sound.
I told Honda about it and they told me it was normal. Anyone have any experience with this?

Yes and no...
I dunno about you guys, but my 2001 Acura EL has 4 disc brakes all around... It ended up being my rear disc pads being LOOSE. Nothing you can do, it'll go away eventually...
I asked at the dealer... They said they COULD put in some shims, but then your pads would wear out like 4 times as fast. Not sure WHY it happens, it just happens. I don't get it any more.
It sounds like as if the entire caliper is loose when you brake
I know the feeling

Rep Power: 360 it is normal there is just a little space in caliper allowing the brake pads to move.
I had the same issue and when I had the brakes serviced it went away.
