Knock on Floorboard on Start & Turn Off
Hi,
Our 03 TL on occasion will have a clunk sound that seems to be comming from the floorboard area upon starting and when turning off. It is inconsistant as to when it does it. Anyone else experience this?
Thanks,
Lou

If you do a search there should be a post about it ... I've found it only happens to me in cold weather and after the car has been off for quite a few hours. I only get it at startup. The explanation IIRC was that the motor mounts are vacuum sealed and when you start the car they're being pushed open. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong because I'm doing it off the top of my head ...
In any case, I wouldn't worry about it, nothing abnormal at all about it.

Thank you! I am only 2 1/2 hours from any dealer.
That is exactly the sound. Doesn't always do it and kinda sounded like the exhaust pipe hitting something.
