What year? If its a first gen, this is the infamous brake clunk and it is "normal". You can reduce it by changing out your OEM pads to aftermarket. You can take it to the dealer if it is still under warranty but I don't believe their solution fixes it for too long.

I am assuming you hear this when you first brake after shifting from reverse to drive and visa versa, correct?
