New to hybrid have question

[Mavster Mechanic]

Mine 'chatters' slightly when going from coasting to slight acceleration at lower speeds, notice it roughly between 10-35 mph before road and wind noise become too great. Very subtle and the truck runs great so not concerned, unless something changes. I'll mention it when I go in for my first oil change and they can do the 'airbag light' recall too.

"Chattering" is a tell-tale of a defective damper. 4 out of 5 I read about (on here somewhere) got worse with time. One stopped chattering given enough time.

Ok, maybe I'll have it checked out sooner rather than later then. Thanks.

It's also not urgent from what I can tell.

I already posted this now wondering if related , I will keep it short, drove 50 miles vehicle sat for 4 hours, heading home every warning light on at start up, too many to list and have no idea what they all were, couldn't find them in manual, dealers closed drove home all lights on steering stiff, got home OK parked next day all lights gone except check engine, drove about 20 miles parked for night Sunday dealers closed, in the morning all light OFF everything normal. I have been driving a 22 FX4 for 3 years no problems no noises. I may be going back to ECO if I get another Maverick. With no lights on now I don't want to leave it at dealer I only have one vehicle and am sure there not giving me a loaner, the info is stored will have it checked at first oil change unless it happens again, have photos of all warning lights.

If this grinding, clunking noise happens on takeoff, could it be the hill hold feature disengaging?

Automatic/electric parking brake disengaging?

I have not felt anything like that on my 25 hybrid.

Unlikely, the hill hold uses the parking brake and that makes like a whine noise when engaging/disengaging.
