Default Strange Thumping When Braking?

Anyone else experience this? Seems to be coming from the passenger footwell area when coming to a complete stop.

Could be one of many things. Warped rotor, bad wheel bearing, CV joint, transmission, etc. Take it to the dealer.

Will do. Car only has about 400 miles so didn't know if it was just something "settling" in.

I had a similar thumping, turned out to be a bolt stuck in the tire. The shop would have to put the car up to double check everything though.
