Re:Weird grind\rattle taking off in 1st gear 2019 Jimny

Seems to be a issue (and I've experienced it myself) - question is - "Should we worry or is it a case of - they all do that Sir"!

Not 2 seconds, more like 1/2 second.

Mine does this too, it sounds like something rubbing from the rear of the car.

I've noticed that it's worse when I drive through water, i.e. out of a puddle. This made me think its something to do with the rear drums when they get wet.

I have recorded a good example of this, see @ 40 seconds in.

Only done 40 miles in my Jimny but no strange sounds yet through the gears all nice and smooth,mines a manual.

I have also recently noticed a strange vibration/rattling noise on my Jimny as I pull off in first gear. It started yesterday and became more frequent in traffic this morning. Took it into the dealership and they are aware of a noise also occurring in other new Jimnys but cannot pinpoint the issue. It's been reported to Suzuki South Africa and Japan, but so far no feedback as yet. They also checked my car and have said it all looks good, but I'm concerned this sound is becoming more frequent and started out of no where.

I managed to get a short recording of it, attached here. It's about 5 or so seconds into the clip you'll hear a faint whirring sound as I pull off.

I have had my new jimny about 2 weeks and have noticed this issue.
I have also noticed that first gear is very short...
Could it be traction control kicking in when taking off in first?
Thats what i thought.
May be wrong... interesting to find out
