I bought a used 2001 KIA RIO with 45,000 miles. Had it for less than a month. Took it to the dealer and they had it for 3 days. When we step on the brakes at any time, it makes this loud "thumping" sound. Like a flat tire sound. It?s coming from the front passenger side.
Of course it didn?t duplicate at the dealer. Now it?s starting to make the noise again. The dealer said everything looks good, the brakes look new.
Anyone ever heard or experience? Thanks.
I have the same problem, it sounds like something is loose in the front end, I went as far as having the front wheel bearings changed as well as the brakes, and still I hear this clunk from the front passenger side. My next step will be to check all the joints under the front. If you learn anything more please inform me as well.
