I feel for you - I HATE that - that horrible feeling - and the noise - and once you've caught it, sometimes the only way out of a jam like that can make it worse!
And it often happens when you're already aware of the danger and trying to avoid it.
I sometimes think those who design & install these systems don't actually use them - or have a company vehicle that gets trashed daily. Tight entrances to car washes with key pads can be just as bad - not that I'd go near one with the Crossfire...!
So it's a visit to the refurb guys for you then...?
