Hello everyone,
I've had my C class estate for a few weeks now and it's my first auto.
The only problem I have with it now is, when I am ready to move away in the car from it being parked, I have my foot on the brake and release the parking brake (it's the one with the 'handle' to the right of the dash), it goes with a 'clunk' and the cars moves forward slightly even with my foot on the brake.
My husband says he can hear the 'groan and clunk' from outside of the car and people do look at the car at petrol stations when it's doing it.
Is this normal? I asked the dealer to check it when it went back in for stone chips but it's the same as when it went in (I thought the work on the parking brake clips might have fixed things but it's the same.)
Both loan cars that I borrowed (both newer and less miles) didn't do it but they had the parking brake on the stalk.
Thanks for any advice.
