Banging from front wheel (Drivers)
Looking for some help, i've got the C200 (Auto 2015) and this morning when I started driving there was a banging coming from the drivers front wheel (pretty sure thats the location of it).
It seems to be like a banging noise / and tin can noise, but when I speed up over 40mph it disappears, although when I break theres like a grinding noise.
The care is only brand new and only had it so im not sure what it could be - any suggestions?

I would get them to come get it, given the odd noises that could, potentially affect braking/steering.

Had something similar in my 2009 C300. The black plastic in the wheel well had separated from the wheel well and was rubbing against the tire. Depending on the speed, it would make a ton of different noises - from flapping/banging to grinding.
Bottom line, just take it to the dealer ASAP or call and have them get it.
