2019 Slight Clunk After Stop as you Press on Gas Pedal to Accelerate
 
2019 C300 Sport here. I have a slight clunk noise coming it seems anywhere from the engine to the rear axel. It only happens after driving through all the gears then coming to a complete stop and as you release the brake pedal and just as you start pressing the gas a single faint clunk occurs but no loss of power or anything just normal driving. The car feels fine and you can't feel the clunk or knock or whatever it is but it wont occur until you come back to a complete stop. Sometimes the clunk doesn't even occur, however it happens more often than not, ~ 65% of the time? Thoughts?

I think I have the exact same problem on my 2018 C205 coupe. See my threads below:

Link2

I still haven't found any solutions to this problem. Car was back to the dealer couple of times. They checked the whole rear of the car.
I have another appointment on 19.1. and I hope they find it this time.
Would not expect this from a Mercedes.
Did you also notice simmilar clunk/thump which happens exactly when passing 50km/h for the first time? It can be slightly felt on the break pedal.

Have them check the engine and transmission mount points and flex discs.

i have not noticed anything at 50km/ph.

Interesting though today on my way to work had the clunk or whatever but drove the later half the way in sport and sport + mode. So the transmission starting in first gear instead of second as it does in comfort mode from a stop. Did not hear anything at all accelerating from a stop...

upi89 01-17-2019 12:51 AM

All mounts were checked and also all the bolts re-tightened. It could be something else considering it starts to happen when you first pass 50km/h.

You mentioned it starts when you go through all the gears. Check if it starts after you pass 50km/h for the first time.
I never get the take off clunk if I first do not pass 50.

Is it possible the clunk is just the auto stop/start feature kicking in? I defeat it as I hate the 'clunk' it makes when it restarts after sitting at a light.

Sport+ (and maybe sport) defeats auto stop/start automatically so it would not happen in that mode.

I think that may be it... not all the gears but 50km/p. It doesn’t happen every single time though...

having had a 16’ C300 for 3 years and now the 2019 it’s second nature after pressing the start button I always turn the auto on/off button off.

On one other forum I found this thump at 50 could be ESP initialization or something like it...
I've been back to the service (2. service) on saturday and they made suspension test and did not find a problem.
Have you been to the service regarding this issue?

Elkawass 01-21-2019 04:18 AM

I have two different types on my 2019 C-Coupe:

First one is a '' Click '' on the passenger side that is the activation/deactivation of distronic sensors (it appears between 50-60 kph)
Second one is a '' Clunk '' and it happens while I'm decelerating to stop and it seems the shifting from 3rd to 2nd gear.

I'm planning to schedule a date next week to bring it in.

upi89 01-24-2019 02:23 AM

Let us know if they find anything. I tried our services 4 times now and no success.

I have an appointment set for Friday. The service advisor has worked with my uncles Mercede’s for the past 6 years and my last C300 for past three years. Everyone at the dealership loves him He said he hadn’t heard of someone really complaining about that but said he wants them to look at the drivetrain for any possible “slack” and make sure everything looks ok with that to start. We will see what Friday brings.

It's not a problem, it is the hill-start assist that holds the brakes for you momentarily after you release them when switching over to the accelerator. Do you notice it happen more often when you are facing uphill? There's your reason why.

it happens at any surface level flat ground in Los Angeles or any angled hill.

Same here. Anywhere any time (But almost never before passing 50km/h for at least once).

upi89 01-30-2019 01:18 AM

It would be nice to try turning off hill assist and try again. Would dealer turn it off on request to test it out?

r3dbenz89 01-31-2019 12:45 AM

I have the same exact issue...although, it's more faint and is something I could live with

itstheo54 02-01-2019 06:12 PM

Brought the car in this morning. Was able to replicate sound 3-4 times with Team Lead tech in the car with me. Service advisor advised me late in the afternoon they are going to need the car till Monday. Still haven’t found anything.

itstheo54 02-04-2019 06:43 PM

Car is still there 3 days now... idk what they’re doing to it other than the “still trying to locate the source”...

upi89 02-05-2019 02:14 AM

I must say you have better MB services then in my country. I was done in 1hour with service saying: "We don't know, It is probably one of the assistance systems, it is normal"

itstheo54 02-08-2019 04:30 AM

Well... after 4 days the dealership says “normal” saying they replicated sound in another car and that it’s the brakes releasing... brake hold system possibly... here’s the kicker I DONT USE THE BRAKE HOLD FEATURE EVER ... take it for what it’s worth

upi89 02-18-2019 01:00 AM

I was afraid they will say that. Will have to look elsewhere... it cannot be normal...

r3dbenz89 03-07-2019 12:50 AM

Since I read this thread I started giving it more attention....it's def more noticeable with the start/stop on than off. Seems like sort of spring releasing... maybe it's some sort of brake hold feature...

upi89 03-07-2019 01:54 AM

Exactly, it can't be much wrong but it is annoying as .....
I don't understand how Mercedes service cannot recognize waht is making this sound.
