SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY BRAKES: THIS ONLY HAPPENS AFTER BACKING UP AND MOVING FORWARD. AT THIS POINT WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKE TO STOP, I'LL EITHER HEAR A CLANK OR CLANK, CLANK SOUND FROM UNDER THE CAR. I CAN'T TELL IF IT'S FROM THE FRONT LEFT OR RIGHT FRONT. IT ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE A ROCK COMING LOOSE FROM THE TIRE AND HITTING THE WHEEL WELL AT 55 MPH BUT I'M ONLY MOVING AT 5 MPH. I TOOK THE CAR TO MARK THOMAS MOTORS TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT AND THEIR REPORT SAYS THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND THAT THIS IS TYPICAL AND NOT A PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THIS IS A POTENTIAL PROBLEM AND THIS SOUND COULD BE CAUSING DAMAGE TO PART(S) THAT COULD LEAD MY BRAKES TO FAIL WHEN I NEED THEM. I NEED ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. THANKS - RICH. *AK
