Prius (2004-09) :: Dragging Metal Sound With No Visible Cause
My 2007 Toyota Prius occasionally sounds like there is metal dragging somewhere in the front of the car. It usually only happens at low speeds after I have been driving on a highway. If I get out of the car to check. I can't see anything dragging under the car. The sound usually goes away if I continue to drive or (if I've reached my destination) if I let drive the car again later. What this noise might be? The car has 172,000 miles on it, and it has had the wheel bearings changed multiple times in the past few years...I don't know if that has anything to do with the noise.

I have a 2nd generation prius and up now no problems but today my car continously makes a pretty loud buzzing sound if the car is on or off. No lights are on other than the maintenance reminder light as I currently have 57000 and waiting a little longer before I bring it in for the 60,000 check up.

It's been about 2 year almost. The shifter is difficult shifting from default position to Drive position. It's like there is some (plastic) obstacles on the way, right at the turning point. I have to force it to the drive position, and I hear the pretty loud clicking sound
Sometimes it also stuck in drive position (if I don't force it back), but will come back to default position in 10 seconds by itself. It is unlikely some external objects got into there I believe.
Prius (2004-09) :: Loud Sound Like A Racket In Transmission - Noise Is Not Consistent At All
New to the prius world! I recently purchased a 06 prius with 185k. Gas engine needed to be replaced so I recently replaced it. Had code of engine failed to start. Now got replacement engine in and has p0300 and p0303 and p0304. Weird thing is new plugs. Swapped coils and injectors with same results. To me it sounds like a racket in the transmission. The noise is not consistent at all. Very loud and odd. Also inside the car when I put it in drive or neutral a warning light comes up and says shift to park batteries wont charge while in neutral.

Jeep - Grandcherokee :: Loud Noise As Something Dragging Under The Car
Went over a bump on the highway the other day and heard a loud noice as if I was dragging something under the car. I checked but nothing was there. It reminded me of putting a baseball card in your spokes of your bike when you were a kid. It happened twice and the weird thing is that if I put it into reverse and drive about 10ft The problem went away. But something still seems loose and it sounds like it will happen again. I was googling this and it seems like the noise was around where the center differential or drive shaft?

Prius (2004-09) :: 2006 - Loud Beeping Sound / Hybrid System Warning Light
I have had no issues with this car of 120K miles until today, although my MPG has decreased to 35 MPG. The following lights came on with a loud beeping sound : Brake warning lights, malfunction indicator light, master warning light and the hybrid system warning light. These stayed on for 25 minutes and then went off. I drove 12 miles without any issues with all the lights and sounds beeping.

My Mazda 626 is making a really weird noise somewhere around the back left corner of the car (from the driver's seat). I just noticed it a couple of days ago, ironically enough, shortly after I picked it up from the mechanic for something totally unrelated!
I really only notice it when I'm going under 20mph. It's a dragging/clunky sound like something is loose. My husband checked it out briefly but didn't seem to notice anything different. I know I need to call my mechanic again, but after spending over $1,000 on repairs for both of our cars, my husband and I aren't thrilled about having to take this car back so quickly!
Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Making A Sound Like It Was Dragging Something
4 cyl automatic 58000 miles - Couple of days ago my wife said her car was making a sound like it was dragging something. It started as she came to a stop getting off the highway, and then intermittently the 5 miles home from there. I took it out right away and couldn't get it to do anything. Yesterday she said same thing. I got in the car and heard the sound immediately as I pulled away from the curb and at the first stop sign (hadn't gone over 15 mph yet) - then it went away.
I'd describe it as if you were scraping the edge of a piece of plywood on rough pavement.
Driveability seems fine so far. Was going to take it in for tranny fluid and coolant change anyway this week - I searched back quite a ways and didn't see similar post but thought I'd ask anyway.
Passat (B7) :: Sound Like Metal Dragging Underneath Vehicle?
I was driving my new B7 Passat home for lunch today and noticed what sounded like metal dragging underneath the vehicle. There's less than 5k on it, so I'm not real sure what would be up. I gave the undercarriage a quick look, but didn't see anything dangling. I mostly notice it when I brake or turn (no directional preference).
I didn't notice anything on my way into work this morning, but then again it was raining like a champ. I work in an industrial setting, so I guess it's possible that I picked up a little debris?
Prius (2004-09) :: 2006 Engine Noise - Loud Fan Like Buzzing / Especially Loud On Highway
For the past few months I've been hearing a loud fan-like buzzing noise coming from the passenger side of the front of the car. I don't know that much about cars, but it almost sounds like the engine is racing or something is spinning too fast. It has gotten increasingly worse, and seems especially loud at high speeds on the highway.
It is not the heating/cooling fan - the noise is present when the heating/cooling system is turned off.
Camry - Noises :: Dragging Sound From Back Side When Braking
Clunky, dragging sound from back of Camry, esp. when braking...
I have a 2000 Camry, suddenly made a dragging sound today. It literally sounded like, perhaps a pipe (or something much bigger) was dragging behind the car. I expected to get out and see some part hanging off the back. It then subsided and all that was left was a very heavy, clunky sound, almost grinding when I brake. What this could be?
Golf IV R32 :: Hearing Sound Like Rear Tires Dragging Over Gravel And Sticking
My car is not my daily and I only hear the sound after it's been sitting for a day or so, at low speeds right when I pull out of my driveway, I hear what sounds like the rear tires dragging over gravel and "sticking," the sound is more pronounced the sharper I turn. As I go a mile or so down the road and make turns, the sound goes away. I don't notice any vibrations or clinking sounds.

My car sounds like it's dragging something but when I look under it there's nothing there. The sound it makes is comparable to the sound a snow plow makes as its plowing the road. The sound is constant but gets worse when I brake. What could be the cause?
View 10 RepliesSubaru - Outback :: 1999 - Dragging Feeling / Sound When Went Over A Speed Bump In The Park
While driving my daughter home from daycare yesterday I went over a speed bump in the park and immediately noticed a dragging feeling / sound.
After some inspection, I determined that either my spring broke or the spring broke free from its mount on the strut and was now rubbing the back of my tire.
Anyway, I've heard of the springs breaking on these cars, and I need new struts anyway, and it's older to begin with, so I set about ordering a complete strut / spring replacement for the front.
On 1aauto I found this set, part number 1ASSP00874. They seem dodgy about whether this part is intended for the Outback as well as the Legacy. I can find sites that sell parts that claim to fit one or the other or both. In this case they seem to claim both.
I know the Outback trim was slightly raised from the regular Legacy, but I can't find any other parts.

Subaru - Outback :: 2004 - Loud Vibration Sound
I have a 2004 outback with just over 100k miles on it. It has been making a loud vibrating sound lately. It makes the sound when idling and even louder when I step on the gas, but at highway speeds the sound disappears. I do not actually FEEL a vibration, it just sounds as though something is vibrating/rattling. We had a mechanic check it out and they thought it was an exhaust issue. Apparently not, because the sound is still there.
