Q: Noise when slowly pulling out from a standstill.

asked by on November 04, 2016

Hi, my car occasionally makes a rattling sound when pulling slowly out a parking space/filling up. It's doesn't consistently happen but when it does you can feel it on the throttle. I don't believe it's the sound of oversteering as I get the sound/feeling even when I'm slowly heading straight ahead.
