Abnormal, dragging, noise that feels like a brake problem, coming from front driver side when braking in stop and go traffic - noise louder when on downgrade on when there's more pressure.also at times loud clunking noise when reversing and applying service brake. Dealership says its a normal noise, they have said that it is the fuel tank and that its fuel moving around. This abnormal noise can be heard and felt when applying brakes in step and go traffic. And at other times. This happens at all fuel levels, due tank at/1/2-3/4 and 1/4 . Also when vehicle has been on a stationary position and you turn steering wheel to the left it makes a clunking sound, this only happens once after car moved.

Unintentional acceleration happened with this new 2018 nx as well as my old 2015 nx200t as well. It happened once so far to each. Only accelerated about 3-4 MPH, as I was only going about 5 MPH going into an empty parking lot. When it happened two years ago in my 2015, I thought maybe it was a one time thing but now know it is a real issue! I got flashlight to check if could have been my floormat interfereing with my accelerator pedal but nothing even near it both times! As soon as I hit the brake, it stopped accelerating and came to a stop both times.
