Twingo E-Tech – brief clunk felt through accelerator pedal during sharp turns

Hi everyone,

I have a brand new Twingo E-Tech with only about 220 km (140 miles) on it and I've noticed something since day one.

During sharp 90 degree turns, I occasionally feel a very brief jolt or clunk through the accelerator pedal and drivetrain. It almost feels like a tiny amount of drivetrain play or as if something momentarily engages/disengages.

It happens in both D and B mode, there are no warning lights, no steering vibration and no issues while driving straight. It lasts only a fraction of a second and may be accompanied by one or two faint knocking sounds.

I've attached a video, it happens at 5 seconds. Has anyone with a Twingo E-Tech (or another EV) experienced something similar? Did it turn out to be normal behavior, software-related, or a mechanical issue?

I already have an appointment with the dealer/service center next week, but I was wondering if anyone here has experienced the same thing and what the outcome was.

Thanks!
