I did not replace parts at the time, but while gone for 2 weeks, the pads rusted to the rotors. I had the Rav sitting in my driveway while we were gone for 2 weeks and got a loud clunk when I wen to to drive it. It eventually went away. In August, we were only gone for a week with the Rav parked at the airport. In that instance, I had to back out of my parking space and got a very loud clunk. As I drove forward, I also got a clunk that continued as I drove. It eventually went away when going forward, but was back every time I applied the brakes. The clunk diminished when braking, but it took a good 3 weeks or more to go away.
