Bang when starting out
Dear S2K Friends,
I have a 2005 Rio Yellow beauty--bought it new.
Occasionaly when I start out form the garage, I start her, place her in 1st, and ease off the clutch, then I hear a loud bang, almsot like I hit something, but I have not, then continue, and all seems normal....this does not happen all the time, but it has happend three times so far---
Any ideas ?

Your brake pads mildly corroded to the rotors while the E-brake was engaged. This is simply them breaking loose. Try leaving the car in gear when parking on a flat surface instead of using the E-brake. This will also prevent the E-brake cable from stretching.
No worries.

Thanks to all for the responses.
I was, in the back of my mind, thinking that the pads might be sticking somehow to the rotors.
Now that several have mentioned it, it seems logical as we live in a very humid climate, North Florida, basically a beautiful swamp.
We will take the advice of leavingit in ger in the garage and now using the e-brake-
Thanks to everyone !
