Passat (B7) :: Crackling Sounds Coming From Dashboard
Random crackling sounds coming from inside the dashboard? After hitting 5k miles a few weeks ago, and while driving on a highway one day, this loud crackling sound started inside the dashboard. At first I thought it was the windshield separating itself from the car. It's loud, lasts a few seconds and you can hear it coming from the length of the dashboard.
I thought it could be the vents, but it crackles no matter what condition I'm driving in. It just randomly crackles if I'm driving fast or slow, on the highway or city streets, if the AC is on or off. It evens crackles when the car is stopped at a red light.
Camry :: 2008 LE Crackling Noise Coming Mainly When Run Over 80 Kms/hr
I have a 2008 Camry LE, I always hear a sound like the sound that comes from an Engine Pinging when you force it (Call it a metallic key chain noise or little crackling noise).The noise is coming mainly when I run over 80 kms/hr. It is not from the Engine I put the car in N and the noise kept coming My Engine has also been repaired by Toyota from the Oil issue, I thought first it is from the Engine. Turned left or right does not seem to make a difference. I am confused sometimes I hear it from the rear sometimes I hear it from the front depending on where I am sitting in the car when running at this speed, but to me most probably I hear it from the rear, it has been like this for over a year, took it to Toyota and they could not identify the source of the noise, they could hear it though. They asked me to bring it back if the noise got louder, to me it did not get louder but more frequent and almost continuous at this speed and gets really annoying.

My VR6 is making a crackling noise when I let off the gas...even in park or neutral, sport or drive or using the tip. When I give it gas it sounds normal, but when I let off the gas I hear a crackling sound for a few seconds as the rpms drop. It sounds like it's coming more from the center of the car vs. back near the mufflers. What this could be? My first thought is a cat issue?

I was on my way home from work the check engine light of my 2005 Scion xA came on. I wasn't too worried because I've had a lot of problems with a faulty sensor relating to my check engine light. But yesterday, I noticed a faint crackling noise coming from the direction of the stereo/dash console.
View 8 RepliesPassat (B5) :: Crackling Noise From Left Front Suspension Area
So for a while now, I've been getting an "intermittent" crackling noise (sounds like walking on twigs or wrinkling heavy plastic wrap) from the left front suspension area. The noise is speed dependent, goes away when stopped and get's faster when the car moves faster. At this point it happens pretty consistently, but sometimes it will go away for a little while and then I'll turn a corner or something and all of a sudden the noise returns. But it happens all of the time, not just when turning corners or braking or whatever.
I've inspected the axle and wheel area and don't see any debris or out of place components that are rubbing or have any signs of wear. This happened with both my summer and winter wheels/tires, so it isn't the tire. My only guess is either the wheel bearing or CV. I'm leaning towards the CV just because of the nature of the noise and also that outer CV was one that tore about 2 years ago and may have been torn for a month or so before I noticed. The CV was cleaned and lubed and boot replaced by my indy, but maybe the CV was damaged.
Passat (B5) :: Engine Knock Coming From The Upper Part
I bought a 2002 W8 92k Miles from a dealer for a very cheap price, KBB 9k, i paid 2k because there was a engine knock *gasp* i know. The body/interior is in good shape. From what I was told the noise was coming from the 'upper' part of the engine..I was hoping it was probably a bad lifter, not a big problem. So the car was trucked to me yesterday, it drives fine still but the engine noise was more severe than i thought. I'm 95% sure it's a spun rod bearing. I'm stressing .
I own a 2 ton gray monument. I cant spend that much money right now on just an engine and a rebuild might be just as expensive. I'm hoping (I need to stop that) that maybe i can drop the oil pan, inspect/remove the rod caps and maybe replace the bearings or push the pistons out the top. In my mind I know the crankshaft was probably scared too but im keeping my hopes high that it wasnt. If thats the case then the whole engine will need to be removed.
I know it not a good idea to buy a car with a knock but that was the condition or the purchase. I want to atleast try to get an idea of the work needed before considering parting it out.
Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Rattle Noise Coming From Both Of Upper Halves Of B-pillar
I drive a 2011 Elantra and like it quite a lot with the way it looks, interior space, beautiful lighting, fuel economy, etc.
I started hearing rattle while driving over even slight bumps; the sound seems to be coming from both of the upper halves of the B-pillars. Tried spraying plastic contact surfaces with silicon spray but squeaks are still there.
Simple inspection of the upper part of the B-pillar plastic (gray colored, in my case) shows that it has a significant gap between the plastic cover and the pillar...
So now I'm thinking to remove the plastic covers and see what may be at fault, to tighten the way it sits maybe. How to go about taking the thing apart (and then putting it back in place )?
Santa FE SM (2001-06) :: 2002 - Grinding Noise Coming From Upper Right Area Of Rear Hatch
My daughter asked me to look at & listen to a horrible grinding noise coming from the upper right area of her Santa Fe's rear hatch. There was a plastic grinding noise coming from THIS:
It's the lock actuator for the rear hatch.
Sometimes it works.
Sometimes it doesn't.
Sometimes it makes that horrible plastic grinding noise.
Golf/GTI VI :: 2012 - Crackling Sound Coming From Inside Passenger Vent
So my 2012 GTI (2DR/6spd/Nav) has a crackling/static sound coming out of the passenger vent.
I took off the vent and the side panel of the dash and took a look around, and can't find anything that causes the sound. It's sounds like static, and it pops and crackles.
It happens particularly on rough roads, and it's driving me insane! I wouldn't mind it so much if I knew what was causing it.
Elantra XD (2001-06) :: Airbag Light On - Gurgling / Crackling Faint Sound Coming From Engine Area
Hyundai Elantra 01 GLS. The main problem is that the airbag light is on and stays on no matter what. This is my girlfriends old car and she tells me that a couple people told her it had something to do with a faulty/corroded connection or something like that... I have been working on this car for about a year and I am finally to the point where I am just ironing out the little kinks. The old engine was bad along with a lot of other stuff, and I swapped it out for a good motor with less miles on it.
I also have recently replaced the alternator and instrument cluster just to name a couple repairs. Now the two things that I want to get settled are the airbag light and the check engine light. The check engine light comes on sometimes and I am almost positive it either needs a new 02 sensor or cat since when it was ran through a code reader those were the two options my mechanic told me it could be. I also hear a gurgling/crackling faint sound coming from the drivers side dashboard/engine area. I am not sure what this is. How can I get the airbag light off ?
Passat (B7) :: 2014 - Loud Crackling Noises While Driving On Normal Roads
I have a 2014 passat 1.8 tsi comfort line about 7 months old. And i have some questions about it. Does warranty cover interior quality? cuz there are loud crackling noises while driving on normal roads. and recently since it snowed the crackling became much more noticeable and loud, really annoying.
In the morning backing out of the driving way, the breaks squeak in a really high pitch sound, the dealership told me it is normal but it got louder than when i first got it. Seems like its a normal problem for most, but is there a way to reduce the noise? i get its cleaning the brakes but its mad loud.
So driving in the snow the brakes get really bumpy, is that abs or is it like crushing snow? just sorta scary feeling.
GTI 337/20th Anniversary :: Speaker Making Crackling Noise After Radio Malfunctioned
Last night on my drive home, I was listening to my iphone 5 with the apple lighting cord. I have an aftermarket kenwood kdc-x697 head unit. I also have all the correct wiring harness, and antenna harness. So last night my head unit started skippy through the song being played on my iphone. I didn't know what the deal was so I removed the face plate. Put the face plate back on and my head unit did not turn on. Once I got home, I pulled the single din head unit out and the unit started back up. Now my passenger front door speaker has a crackling/whine noise.
Last night and all this morning I have searched and have found a lot of monsoon issues with wiring. However the majority of finds all ended up with someone going to the dealer and never doing this issue themselves. How to fix this or where to start. I'm going to pull the radio now. I do know that most of the time a whine in the speakers is from alternator whine which is true but like I said it only happens to this speaker.
Ford F-150 - 1997-2003 :: Crackling Noise From Engine When Trying To Accelerate Harder
I have a 97 f150 4.6, when I'm towing a load and trying to accelerate a little harder either to just gain speed or climb an incline I get this terrible crackling noise from my engine as if I was low on coolant or low on oil. But all my fluids are good. It even does it when I'm climbing an incline not loaded. What this could be?

My car has an intermittent crackling noise when changing gears from park to reverse, park to drive, and vice versa. It also starts squeaking (coming from the engine) when backing up. The crackling noise almost sounds like sparks.
Having that issue in their generation 2 Prius? I was told by the service adviser that it was the brakes. I think it sounds like a bad issue, although I was told it was completely normal, and maybe they can clean something. Is this pretty commonplace?
Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2002 F350 - Crackling Noise Under The Dash
I have an '02 F350 PS. Recently I have been hearing a crackling noise coming from under the dash on the drivers side sometimes at idle but more often when driving. Th strange thing about it is that the noise stops as soon as there is any pressure on the brake pedal. The noise sounds electrical in nature but I can't be sure. I want to crawl under the dash to try and ID the source but it is not consistent and I have not been able to do so when I hear it. What it might be?
