I have had that happen before.Check to see if you have snow built up in the wheel wells, that's another idea
Nope. Just picked it up from the dealership last week. They picked it up from illinois and drove it to michigan.I have had that happen before.
Or your car has been sitting a long time? Possibly a flat spot that will even out when your tire heats up.
Took car out for a cruise on my lunch and found some dry pavement. Traction on or off it didnt make any knocking but back at work I turned the Traction control on and made a left turn/circle and it started knocking again. Not sure what it is but havnt gotten any answers so im assuming it hasnt happened to anyone else.
My R-Spec makes some crazy noises in the snow as well, but you're a bold man driving it around without the traction control. The noises do go away though as soon as the car has warmed up a little.If the traction control is on, I bet that's what the noise is. I.E. the TSC working or braking(however you want to look at it). Do the same thing(left turn/circle) with TSC off. I bet you just spin out with no knocking.
EDIT: Also, the stock tires are also summer tires(R-Spec and Track). They are not made for snow.

. If I do, I drive with TSC off just because I like to be able to predict when the car will lose traction. With it on, you never know and, IMO, the Genesis' TSC is awfully programmed.
I figured it was just the LSD but wasnt sure if it was normal or what was going on. The car only have 1,000 miles on it.
I dont drive on the street with the traction control off unless I get stuck. If you get stuck in the snow with the traction on you wont be moving anywhere until you turn it off.
I was just driving around in my work parking lot testing it out with it on and off. Doing some donuts here and there to see if the knocking would go away.
I do agree thou. I like driving with it off sometimes when the roads arnt to bad. I love drifting a bit when It can be controlled, otherwise traction stays on.
R-spec has an LSD, and please research before posting uninformed comments has such.time to get a lsd
+100000.so did you try the donuts with tsc off? I'm fairly certain that the noise you were hearing/feeling was the brakes trying to control wheel spin. I have heard something similar when there was snow on the ground here. All in all, if the noise persists, take your car to the dealer.
Your ESC is part of the ABS system. So yes, the brakes will be applied slightly without you touching them.it would do it without even hitting the breaks unless you mean the traction control applys the breaks automatically which ive never heard of. from what ive figured out its the lsd trying to slow down the spinning wheel to prevent spinning out. going in a circle / sliding aka donut it would make the noise or if you just give it gas going straight it would do it. dry pavement with traction on or off it didnt make the noise. i asked the dealer and they said its normal. just the lsd doing its job.
Dude, really? Stock RSPEC (read, summer/performance tires) in the snow? Of course you're not going anywhere, you're a moron.Is this normal with these cars or is something wrong??
With Traction control on the cars doesnt move AT ALL on SNOW.... If you turn the traction control off the car moves decently (since the stock tires suck @$$) but theres a loud thumping noise as your driving.
Any idea?
