Hi all,
I've had my GLA 250 4Matic for a little less than a month now, and i've noticed a very subtle "clunk" noise coming from what feels like the rear of the vehicle while slowing down and coming to a complete stop. Typically it seems like it only does this the first few complete stops that I make in the car......like in the mornings when I pull out of my garage and am driving through the city to get to the interstate, when I approach red lights while slowing down, immediately before I come to a complete stop, it almost feels as if someone slightly tapped my rear fender (I thought someone did the first time I noticed it!)
Not quite sure what the issue could be and if it is related to the brakes/suspension or transmission? I have never experienced the violent jerks other GLA owners have had problems with while shifting into different gears, and I only seem to experience the subtle clunk while in drive (eco/manual/sports doesn't seem to make any difference). I can't imagine it is tranny related because it does not match up with the 2>1 downshift and I am only applying brakes, not gas.
After about 15 minutes, the clunk seems to go away. Has anybody else experienced this? I've done some research online and the issue seems to be well documented for various types of cars, but the diagnosis is always related to worn parts or after a new brake job, etc. My GLA has 5k miles on it.
