    Knocking Sound

    Hi, has anyone else experienced a knocking sound when pulling away from a standstill? I am hoping it is brake disc rather than suspension - seems to be coming from front right side but difficult to be too sure...

    If it's the same thing I was noticing, it's the automatic door lock!

    Scared the crap out of me till I figured it out. Lock the doors before you take off and see if it goes away.

    I have once or twice heard a knock under the right side of the car when leaving a parking lot. It only happened that day, and never again. No idea. I thought maybe I ran over something that hit the under body.
