Graunching and groaning

Today, 05:07 AM

Hi,

Took delivery of my GLC 250 4Matic Special Edition - build date August 2019 and on lease - 2 days ago.

Checked everything with delivery driver who had driven it 50 miles to my address. I didn't have the opportunity to drive it until later that afternoon. At which point I was less than impressed. When attempting to reverse off my paved drive there was an enormous amount of of "graunching, groaning" noises emanating from (I think) under the car. It sounded like the parking brake hadn't disengaged but the instrument cluster wasn't indicating anything like this,

I eventually reversed off the drive and was very pleased with the handling, performance etc which was the reason I ordered it.

Parked it up and on starting again, same racket ensued, and so it continues each time I've taken it out.

I've been following the saga of the dreaded knuckle problems and was re-assured when I read here that cars manufactured after December 2018 had the problem sorted. Which is why I ordered it.

Can anybody offer any advice, am I doing something silly or have I got a "Friday afternoon" car ?

Thanks

Doesn't sound like anything to do with knuckle, take it into a dealer to check.
