Default Question

Hi guys just want to ask if this is normal for the NX, when going over a hump we feel a kind of bump or thud underneath the NX, but after a few more humps we sometimes don't feel it anymore.

If you go over a speed bump for example, you may hear the rear cargo floor and sub-floor move upwards then back down making the thump noise. Otherwise, I don't hear any noise in mine.

No noises on mine. Sorry, not sure what it could be but definitely get it checked out at the dealer in the event there's something loose and a safety concern.

I have that same thud. It's odd and I'm not really fond of it

The same place that thud comes from is the same place I get a thud every time I shift the car from reverse to drive.

Come to think of it, in a specific condition I do get a thump sound (and feel) when going over a speed bump only, but in no other situation. It always occurs, consistently. Note however I have the adaptive suspension and I always thought it was the system's response to firm up the damper in that particular situation, but it could be what you guys are experiencing too.

Can one of you do a quick video and post? I may do one too tomorrow...
