When reversing to parallel park or to reverse into a parking space my car makes a thud / snap noise over and over again, particularly when turning. My car has been up a drive and stationary for just over a month. Today is the first time it has been driven for a month and it is the first time I have ever had this problem. Any ideas? Is it still safe to drive? Thanks in advance.

Good morning my name is Roy and I will assist.

It sounds like a motor mount may be bad. It happens when the motor shifts around and jumps up and down

Have a shop check for you to verify.
As far as safety, I would get it checked ASAP to be sure.
