I just bought my first Volvo. It's a 2017 S60 T5 Inception and I LOVE IT!! Everything is great, except ....

There's a strange twang that bothers me a bit. The car has 2,500 miles on it, so it's not old. When I first start going, either pulling out of a parking spot, or backing up, there's a twanging noise like a beefy spring releasing. I can't tell if it has to do with the steering components or maybe a brake releasing? I took it to the dealership I bought it from and they thought I was nuts. They couldn't get the car to make the noise, but told me what I was describing was "normal" due to the metal on metal contact of the braking system and how it rusts slightly over night. I call BS. Has anyone else experienced that? Am I crazy??

 

My V50 used to do it, I believe it’s doing an ABS test. My V60 CC does it too.

TT

 

Does it do it every time? Or just once in a while? Mine does it every time!

 

My V50 did it within 30 sec’s from pulling away but once done that was it until it had been parked up for a while. My V60 does it too.
