  1. Service brakes, Jun 8, 2022

    When I brake the car makes a clunking noise and I can feel a thumping on the brake pedal as I try and bring the car to a stop. This car is brand new. I have owned it for almost 3 weeks and it has less than 100 miles on it. You can both hear and feel the the clunk/thump as you attempt to brake the car. It seems as if it is coming from the drivers side of the car. I actually heard and felt this issue on May 23, 2022 3 days after I took delivery of the car. But I wasnt sure exactly what I felt. I haven’t Devine the car a lot until yesterday due to some medical issues I was having. Yesterday the issue was very bad every time I braked I could hear the clunk noise and feel it on my brake pedal. Contacted dealer and they have no reported issues. Car is going for service today. I am reporting this because it affects the brakes and that could be dangerous if the car is unable to be stopped.
