Hello folks,
I'm hoping this problem rings a bell with some members here..
First the car is 9 months old and under warranty and I'll be taking it in to the main dealer where I bought it, asap.
Driving normally there are zero problems, however it seems to happen only under the following conditions, when I reverse out of my drive, which is short and steep.
1. after I've just started the car
2. steering wheel turned more than a half clockwise (heading right)
3. on a slope
4. reversing
5. slow speed, maybe 2-3 mph.
With these conditions the front nearside wheel is bearing less weight than the other three wheels.
The result is a mechanical, semi-smooth shuddering, perhaps 2 or 3 small judders very close together, all within a second is say, otherwise normal. It does not always happen started happening about a month ago, but I put it down to the slightly slippery to mildly icy surface on my drive then. However it has been doing it in the dry too. I'm concerned.
Is this a known problem? Or you have an idea about what might be the cause?
