Clunk clunk down the road
Driving about 45 when all of a sudden i heard a loud clunk clunk, and i could feel the floorboard shaking in sync with the clunk. I thought something had just gotten stuck under there so i pulled over. As i slowed down the clunking slowed down, so i thought something might have caught onto my tire or something. When i came to a stop the clunking did as well. I got out and saw nothing underneath and all tires seemed to be fine. I looked around and didnt see anything unusual on the ground. Roads were smooth too. Started driving again and everything seemed okay.

Am i missing something obvious or what just happened?

Any idea if the e brake would have caused it to happen earlier? I had been driving for about ten minutes already, maybe i pressed the e brake somehow at the stoplight.

thanks for the help.

I'd driven maybe 1/2 miles with no signs when mine did it. I thought I'd run over something that stuck in the drivetrain. Checked all the wheels then went to move it ahead a foot to check again and noticed the ebrake. Duh.

Probably was, I didn't know that happened when you drove with the e-brake.

On second thought i remember hitting a raccoon, he probably went for a ride on my rims, hitting his tail in the tire well. Then when i stopped, he left.

the 08 beeps at you if you start to take off with the ebrake on. Nice feature in my opinion, and apparently something else that is new on the 08.
