I have a 2013 TAH (x 2) and both of them have this issue..
when driving at very low speed on EV only there is a very very loud sound from the under of the hood.. its like there are a few people trapped in the hood...
The way I was able to hear this is pulling into the garage with the window down..
So I have a 2013 Passat I bought on 1/2013 and it currently has 25,9XX miles and it's having a lot of loud squeaks while driving. It turned out to be an issue with the rear brake rotors which they are saying aren't covered due to being a wear and tear item but wouldn't <26k be abnormal wear and not fall under that exclusion? Both the service department and the person I spoke to at VWoA said they had never heard of anything like this happening before.
View 12 RepliesIn the last couple weeks, once the car starts moving the Speed Dial button dims. Does this also on our 2013 RX350. I've had the car for a year and I can't believe that its been this way the entire time. I'm so certain it recently started. I had to revert to clicking the Call History button sometimes.
I feel it either corresponds to update to iPhone IOS 8 or iPhone 6. If that is the trigger, I'm surprised the Speed Dial is not controlled by the car vs the phone.
I was at Lexus service yesterday and they think its working as expected. Why would one not be able to click Speed Dial, but be able to click Call History and then taking eyes off the road to look at the screen and scroll to find a number!!!
One of the lexus folks was in the car and paired his phone that was an older iPhone and was not OS8.
2013 Elantra (40k miles) just started having intermittent high engine rev while driving at low speeds (30-40 MPH). The rev last 1-3 seconds no engine codes showing up. The transmission does not feel like it is slipping.....

View 2 RepliesThe tire roar (not engine or wind noise) is unbelievably loud on my car. I drive a lot between San Diego and OC usually at 80+ and it is difficult to have a conversation on the phone and it is starting to drive me a little crazy. I have the all seasons on my car. I noticed a big difference on my S4 and my 550i when I changed tires to PS 2's from the stock Conti's.
View 6 RepliesI recently purchased new tires and rims for my Mazda 626 thinking it would get rid ot the loud tire noise (2 rims were bent). However, the noise still exists. I cannot seem top pin point the source of the noise but, it increases with speed.
View 5 RepliesI get a loud noise from the rear of my 2005 Subaru Outback, 67k miles.(No it's not my dog Pete)Starts as a WHOP, WHOP, WHOP that speeds up as the car speeds up 'til it's a loud drone at cruising speed. I thought it was older tires but changed those Saturday. No effect.
View 1 RepliesI purchased a used 2013 Prius C last fall (currently its ticking 33000 miles). That time the weather was cold and did not need the A/C that much. As the summer progresses, I am hearing a loud noise coming out from the engine bay as I turn on the A/C. Here is an YouTube link for the noise.....
View 13 RepliesPurchased a new 2.0T Santa Fe this weekend. While driving it home from the dealership noticed a loud wind noise between 60-80mph. We took it back to the dealership within 30 minutes and talked to the service manager. They put us in a loaner Genisis and said they would take the front end apart and see where the noise was coming from. The dealership called back this morning and said they can't figuer out what/where the noise is coming from but they do agree it is a wind noise.. They are offering to swap the vehicle out with another one next week when it is delivered. High pitched noise while driving on the freeway?
View 387 RepliesI was driving down the highway one morning, when the spare tire from a small truck in front of me falls off on the highway. I'm probably going between 40-50 mph, and I can't change lanes, so I hold my breath as I drive over it. I thought I had cleared it when I heard the tire hit my 2007 Kia Sportage somewhere around the backseat area. Kia continues to run fine, no fluids leaking, engine running normal, transmission running normal, etc. Our car has never been quiet on the inside, but we noticed that the road noise started to get louder and louder. We knew that it was getting time to replace our tires, so we figured that is why it was getting louder. I had the tires changed, but the noise was still there. And it gets louder.
But everything continues to run normally, and my mileage is not affected. But it gets louder. And louder. I thought maybe it cracked the muffler, but you don't hear noise on the outside, just the inside. I just passed my state emissions check, so that is ok. I haven't taken it to a mechanic because there hasn't seemed to be any other problem, other than it's just loud. The noise seems to build up as I am gaining speed, gets its loudest about 50 mph or so, and at speeds higher than that it goes down slightly. It doesn't coincide with the transmission shifting, and it shifts at the same RPMs it always has, no issues there. The noise seems to be coming from the back of the car.
Ok so a few days ago when I was at an ATM i stopped and revved my engine, i could hear a whining sound like bee/supercharger type. It gets pretty loud when i rev the engine and you could hear it whine down as the rpm drops. Now I put it in Sport mode and on drive and when I hit the gas I could clearly hear the whining noise even in the cabin, specially when I let off the gas and let the Sport mode keep the revs up high.
Pretty sure it has done this since I bought it, but I always have music on so maybe that's why I didn't hear it til now.
Picked up my brand new 2013 Elantra 2 nights ago. 51 Km's on it when I drove it off the lot. Immediately noticed it was making a very loud noise whenever I hit any road bumps, potholes, sewers, train tracks, etc.
I can't tell if it is coming from the front, or back of the car. Many of the threads on here seem to be talking about a common rear shocks issue? Also read a lot about faulty struts? Swaybar?
When I am in the car and the windows down rolling slowly next to a building or something that echos I can hear a clicking that I think is coming from the rear. My salesman is calling me in to test drive a RCF so when I do that I'll have them look at it.
View 8 RepliesI have a new 2012 Chevy Cruze with 10,000 miles on it. Chevy has issued service bulletins citing a problem that they can't seem to diagnose or repair (yet) and my car has the problem. They tell me their engineers are working on it. After the car is a little warm, when I apply the break there is a loud squeaking or whirring noise which pulsates at the speed of the tires (in other words, as I slow down, the intervals between each sound gets longer and longer). I suspect it is coming from the back. First they thought it was sticking calipers until they realized that I have drum brakes on the rear. It is loud enough that the only way no to hear this grating noise is to blast the radio.
View 2 RepliesI have an 01 Ranger 4x4 that recently started to make a loud speed dependent noise from the drivers side front wheel, a quick jab to the right on the steering wheel and it stops, straiten out and it comes back...since I know my shocks are worn and have some cupping on the front tires my first thought was tire noise so I moved the back tire which is evenly worn to the front and no change, next I removed the tire and checked everything visually.
All seems ok, the brake does not seem to be dragging and there is no evidence of a cv problem, everything seems tight, so I'm guessing the problem is a bad wheel bearing? If I grab the tire at 12 and 6 there seems to be excessive movement from top to bottom, there should be none right? If memory serves any movement is indicative of bad wheel bearings? I guess I'm looking for some vindication before getting a new hub?
So every so often when I turn on my car and the air conditioner was already on I hear a loud decompressing noise. The sound is intermittent and worry a me very much the thing if I take it to the delearship I'm sure they won't be able to replicate the sound.
View 4 RepliesIve got a 2013 Accent with 16,000km on it. It has an automatic transmission. The noise is when i pass from R to D, or P to D. It is an intermittent noise, so it does not do it all the time. But when it does, it makes a loud "bang" that can be easily heard and felt in the floor. Ive had it checked by the dealer, but it never does it when its in the shop.
I always let the idle go down before shifting into gear and even if i hold the brake hard to change gears it does it anyway. It doesnt matter if the trans is cold or hot. And no, i never change gears when the car is still rolling, always when i have stopped completely.
Finally took the car ('13 GT) back to the dealer to have them deal with this noise. Every time I turn the car left or right, I get a loud click or snap noise from the right front. My first thought was it was something in the suspension loading and unloading as the weight shifts from left to right. So, brought it in at the 59,000km mark, the looked at it, drove it around and finally said they re-torqued both axle nuts as they were loose (didn't even get into THAT one)
Soon as I drove it away, it was still doing it. I lived with it for the last 6,000km and finally got sick and tired of it so I took it back. Same deal, but this time they say the right axle shaft is shot.
I upgraded from a 2009 ES 350 to my 2013 GS 350 recently. One huge difference I noticed is the sound of the car while in idle. My ES was so quiet that sometimes it was hard to tell if it was on or off when parked. My GS has an irritating vibration noise from the outside that is very noticeable when I'm parked. I can hear it when my windows are down and I'm sitting in the driver's seat. It's not loud, so to speak, just incredibly irritating to the point where the vibration hurts your ears. When I'm in my garage and the sound is a bit more isolated, it sounds the loudest from the driver-side mid-to-back section of the car. However, the car itself doesn't feel like it's vibrating.
I also noticed at times when I start my car, my engine gets loud and the RPM shoots up to a bit past 2 (while still idle), then quiets down and evens out. Is this normal for this gen GS? The only reason I ask is because neither of things happened on my ES, so either I'm not used to it, or something is wrong. Driving/ performance seems normal. I do understand this engine should be a bit noisier than my ES and I am enjoying the extra HP and AWD ... I have a full, unlimited mileage warranty so getting anything fixed won't be an issue. My main concern is wasting my time going all the way to the dealership and embarrassing myself if it's completely normal.
My 2013 Prius v made a really loud clicking noise this morning when starting the car from a cold start. It was less than 30 degrees Fahrenheit. The car has about 14K miles in it. Is this normal?
