I forgot to update this thread!!! Actuator bleeding stopped the clicking noise in my previous 2007 for three days and it came right back after paying $200. Dealer told me it may or may not work and I took the risk. I hope you have better luck but did not work for me. If you end up bleeding it anyways, please keep us posted.

I would suggest that you complain and let them figure it out. If you order actuator bleeding then they will charge you $200-$300 because this is not covered by warranty. Then do it again after they put another actuator. I have researched this extensively and it has no impact what so ever on brakes efficiency unless actuator go bad, you will know then with Christmas lights on the dash. Rather than that it is just this dreaded clicking noise. I lived with it for couple of years until I traded it in.

I couldn't stand the sound anymore. It was like the kitchen sink with that dripping onto the pan effect. It will make you crazy. I had it done for $3000.00 at Lexus of Naperville, il. It's been heaven since then. I seriously wanted to trade car at first, but the 460 is my true love. Now. its like heaven.

If you press the brake pedal all the way down and you hear a squeak or groan, or crunch etc when you let off the pedal, it's the actuator. You may have to try it a couple of times, mine was making the noise about every 6-8 time. You can try having the fluid bled but you may need to have a new actuator installed
