Lexus ES 2013+ :: Whining / Whirring Noise Coming From Engine While Accelerating Up To 45 Mph

I've got 2013 es 350 with 10,000 miles on now. I have recently noticed that there was whining/whirring noise coming from the engine(I guess) while accelerating up to 45 mph. It seems that the noise goes along with the RPM since it gets louder when accelerating. It makes same noise when decelerating from 30 mph and it goes away when the car stops. A friend of mine drove the car once before but did not hear anything until I told him about the noise, so I guess it is not very noticeable to some people. At the 10,000 miles check up at the dealer, I mentioned about it and they said they did not hear anything, but I know for sure there is whirring/whining noise.

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: 2013 - Loud Noise While Shifting From Reverse To Drive

I recently leased a 2013 RX 350 and started hearing a weird loud noise almost in the first week itself. It seems to happen whenever I shift the gears from Reverse to Drive. The loud noise comes from the back of the car and anyone sitting in the car (speakers turned off) can hear/feel it. It seems to be worse in the morning (or when the engine is cold).

I took it to the lexus service center and the person told me something about differential pressure, which I really didn't understand:-). However, he said nothing can be done and its not a safety issue and sent me back home without any fix. I have driven many cars in my life so far and never ever came across something like this. Is it something normal at all?

Lexus ES 2013+ :: Whirring Sound From Motor When Drive With Windows Down

When I drive with windows down I can hear a whirring from the motor. Its like if it is low on power steering fluid. Its not constant with RPM. I am pretty sure the steering is electric but WTH can it be? I am dreading winter cause I will have windows down all the time then and I will have to crank the stereo to block it out.

Prius C :: 2013 - Whirring / Humming Noise At High Speeds

I noticed it a little after driving for days on very snowy/slushy/gritty roads where I had to plow some parking spots with my little 2013 C3. Tonight I was driving into Vancouver and back at 100+kph and noticed like a whirring sound or like a higher pitched humming sound possibly from drivers side front tire?? A little vibration felt through the wheel.

Santa Fe (DM - 2013+) :: Whirring Noise While In Drive On Applying Break

I just picked up my new 14 SFS Limited last month love everything about it. On a recent quick trip to the gas station I didnt have the radio on and was just driving in silence and noticed an annoying whirring noise while at a light.

This whirring noise only happens when the car is in drive, and has to be driven just a few meters then when you apply the breaks (at a stop light or stop sign) after 2 seconds a faint whirring noise starts up. When you lift off the breaks the noise goes away but when you apply the break again the noise is replicated.

Ford :: Focus 2013 - Scratching And Whirring Noise Coming From Engine

I just purchased a 2013 Ford Focus hatchback SE Monday night. Tuesday morning I came out of the house to get in my car, I unlocked the car, and opened the door. Before I even got into the car I heard a "scratch scratch scratch whirr whirr" coming from the engine. The dealer did not show me where the hood latch was so by the time I figured out how to open the hood the noise had stopped (within a minute of when it started.) Driving that day I did not notice any more noise, nor any issues with the engine.

Wednesday morning (today) I came out to get in my car, and when I opened the door I heard the same nose coming from under the hood. I got the hood open and looked in with a flashlight while the nose was still going. The noise was coming from the right hand side of the engine block, but I did not see anything actually moving to cause the scratching and whirring noise.

Lexus GX 2004-09 :: Whirring Noise From The Engine / Smell From The Car

My wife has an 07 GX470. Two days ago she came home and mentioned there was a whirring noise from the engine. I started the car, lifted the hood and heard the noise. Sounded like it was being generated by the serpentine belt. Meaning, something that the belt was "driving" was making the noise. She drove it again yesterday morning for a 10 mile trip to drop off son at camp. When she came back, she indicated that it smelled. Just walking out the door to the garage I was hit in the face by a very strong electrical smell. No fire, but smelled very bad. Car has been sitting since yesterday morning and she just now tried to start it and the car is dead. no power to anything. Battery is new 3 months ago.

Lexus GX 2004-09 :: 2008 - Battery Light Came On And Whirring Noise Pull Over

2008 GX with 42K and just driving home and battery light comes on and a whirring noise--pull over and open hood smell strong electrical smell--ok Alternator fried. Got it home and battery light off but still when I put a meter to my battery with engine running its only putting out 13.4V? should be at least 14.5-6 correct. Has to be Alternator cause of the symptoms and the burning electrical smell..

SO WHO has changed alternator and how hard was it? Im looking for it and I think its under the Power steering pump it seems left side engine looking at it.??

Lexus :: Loud Whirring / Humming / Whining Noise Coming From Engine

I have a 2006 lexus es 330 that just turned over 90,000 miles. My dad and I have done the regular maintenance on it so far but this weekend after a 3 hour drive, I turned the car back on and a loud whirring/humming/whining noise was coming from the engine. It gets slightly louder with acceleration, but I can barely hear it once I've picked up speed (but it's still there.) It still happens when I am in neutral. It sounds like it is coming from the passenger side of the engine. Close to the power steering pump area, but the power steering fluid is full (although it is a very dark/black color and has a slight smell...not sure if this is normal.) I'm not having any trouble or hesitation while steering. The rack is operating smoothly and it is not leaking. I plan on taking it into the shop but wanted to go in educated.

Lexus GS 2013+ :: 2016 Both Mirrors Tilt Down When Put Car Into Reverse

When I put my car into reverse both my mirrors tilt down. Doesnt matter which side mirror adjustment button I press (Left or Right) both mirrors tilt down. Then when I press the (L or R light up button) both mirrors tilt up. So I can either tilt both mirrors or tilt no mirrors. Is this normal behavior of the car or am I missing something here.

Most my other cars I had the selection of which mirror I need to get tilted. But in this car I don't have that option.

Lexus ES 2013+ :: Rear Sunshade Retracts When In Reverse

Anyway to stop the rear sunshade from retracting when the ES350/300H is in reverse? I think that it's overkill, I can still see clearly. I have the backup camera and parking sensors, this actually irritates me all the time.

Lexus GS 2013+ :: Mirror Tip-down In Reverse Customization Not Working?

This worked in my '13, but in my '15 I can't customize the tip-down angle per the owner's manual. All you are supposed to do is adjust the mirror to the position you want it while in reverse; that position is supposed to be memorized. Not happening; next time I shift to reverse the mirror goes to the default position.

Lexus ES 2013+ :: Side Mirrors Have Stopped Pointing Down When The Car Is In Reverse

Something seems to have changed with the '13 ES 350 I bought in October. The side mirrors have stopped pointing down when the car is in reverse.

I don't believe that I've changed and settings but furious finger poking might have taken place as some point in the recent past. What has changed?

Lexus ES 2013+ :: Side Mirrors Do Not Tilt Downward When In Reverse

Yesterday a friend drove my 2013 ES350 and adjusted all the mirrors and seat to his preference. When I got back in to drive, I pushed the buttons to return to my settings. But now when in reverse, the side mirrors do not tilt downward, they revert to his settings. How do I undo this?

Lexus ES 2013+ :: Rear View Mirror Pans Out In Reverse

I noticed the other day that when i shift to R... the left and right rear view mirror pan out about 5 degrees in their respective direction. Normally when you shift to reverse the mirrors should tilt down. I have looked through all the settings and cannot find any customization options. How you can adjust the rear view mirrors to tilt down? I do not understand why they would pan out as it does nothing to assist you as you reverse.

Lexus ES 2013+ :: Engine / Transmission Stutter When Startup Car And Put It In Drive Or Reverse

I just purchased a 2013 ES 350, and I love the car!

Whenever I startup the car (engine hot or cold) and put it in drive or reverse,and lightly step on the gas to get the car moving, there is a weird stutter. Sort of like when your driving stick in the same scenario, but you let out the clutch a bit to fast and the engine wants to bog out, but your able to hit the gas just a bit more to keep it from stalling. If this were a manual transmission, I would disregard as we all know that can be a normal characteristic of manual transmission.

This being an automatic, I am worried that something could be off with the tranny or the engine.
