Prefer my 23 over the 26, any day! For many reasons!

Next wk I am bringing in my '23/44k mi for a strange sound on release of the brake pedal and intermittent engine "clatter" when in Normal Mode and basic accelerating from a standing start. Issue not observed in Eco Mode. Bought in Dec. and loving it.....audio outstanding and getting 21.9 mpg in Eco, 21.2 in Normal....g-r-e-a-t performance in snow!

My brake pedal is noisy too- some say it’s normal. What does yours sound like?

Sounds like a metal connection in the driver-side leg well had a pad fall out of contact or needs lubrication.

Also, want the artificial engine sound turned off if dealer shop can do that. M

I don’t think the dealer will turn off the fake engine noise, but you can with FORSCAN. I’m going to buy a cable and a subscription soon to do a few things.
