I just bought a 2014 IMiEV. Have been driving it for 6 days and am loving it so far. But, pretty much every time I drive forward after having parked somewhere, about 40 feet along, I hear this "boing" sound coming from the front of the car. I am not sure if this comes only after reversing. Any guesses out there? Should I take it to the dealer?
 
There is a thunk that occurs when pulling away after having been parked as you describe. This is normal and is something that the antilock brake system does. However, I don't know whether this is the sound that you're hearing. I wouldn't describe it as a "boing", and it sounds to me like it's coming from the rear, so your sound might be something different.
 
Does this occur around 8 MPH, and do you feel it in the brake pedal? If so, it's the ABS self check. It has a similar sound to what you describe.
