Prius (2010-12) :: Noise From Suspension When Go Over A Bump Or Hole

Since I got my Prius V, i have this noise form the suspension... when i go over a bump, or a hole... It sounds like the exhaust is hitting on something. It could be the brakes too. It does not sound like something is broken, but more like a tin sound hitting on something...

If windows are closed the ride is smooth, but when I open i keep hearing this sounds, and its driving me crazy... Is that normal for Prius V because of the different tiers?

My Accord does not have any similar sounds driving on the same road every day... actually ride with Accord is way better... Is that normal, should I go back to dealer? Car is 3000 miles only...

Prius (2010-12) :: Clicking Noise In Steering When Hitting Small Bump Or Hole In The Road

I have a 2011 Prius 2, with 35K miles, and have noticed a clicking sound in the steering when hitting a small bump or hole in the road. If the car is parked, I can rock the steering wheel back and forth, and hear a clicking sound. I do not remember the noise being there until recently.

Also the radio reception seems to have gotten weaker. If I am on a trip out of town, it now seems that I am looking for stronger stations frequently, as static interferes. I had the car to the dealer for this a few months ago, and they said they could not duplicate the problem

This car is about ready to drop off the warranty, and would like to have Toyota pay for the repair if it is needed.

Prius (2010-12) :: High Pitched Squeaking Noise When Starting The Car Up

About a month ago, I purchased my 2013 Prius Four. I've put on about 2,500 miles so far and recently started noticing when I start the car up, it is giving off a high pitched squeaking noise. This happens both when the car is using the electric battery and when I can feel the gas engine kick in. After about a minute or two, the noise goes away and doesn't come back.

Prius (2010-12) :: Creaking From Mid Way Back When Go Over Bump

I don't have any rattles, however I do have a creaking anytime the car goes over a bump, pulling up onto a driveway. Sounds like it is coming from the wall of the passenger side rear seat. Of course it does it more when it's cold. At first I thought it was the tonneau cover, but doesn't seem to be.

Prius (2010-12) :: Brake Pads Rattling In The Calipers When Hit Bump

Gen III 2010, 6800 miles. Silver. Fuzzy dice. Pads are still rattling in the calipers when I hit bump when foot is not on brake. It sounds like hell! ...like major suspension components are loose, although I know they are not. Two Toyota dealers have told me this is normal, and no danger. ...no dealer fix.

Prius (2010-12) :: Rough Ride - Every Bump And Wrinkle In Road Reverberates Through Car

We had a 2005 prius and LOVED it. But, we decided to move on and get a new one. 2011 Prius Three

How different could it be? I hate the new one. It is extremely uncomfortable for me in the passenger seat. Less so in the driver's seat, which is height adjustable, but still a problem for me due to physical issues.

EVERY bump and wrinkle in the road reverberates through the car - and through me.

The people at our dealership say there's nothing that can be done. Is this true?

Prius (2010-12) :: Rear Hatch Bouncing When Drive Over Small Bump

I bought a 2012 prius 4 with 42k miles recently. The car is just too loud. I've determined the "noise" to be the rear hatch bouncing when I drive over small bumps in the road. The bounce creates an air pressure change that is just too unacceptable. I've milled the hatch lock mechanism's holes into slots to I can close the hatch tighter. This made a little improvement. My next step will be to add some gasket material on the hatch itself so it closes tighter. My slots allow the hatch to bottom out so I had to back off the adjustment a bit.

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Noise Coming From Front Every Time Pass Over Speed Bump Or Road Holes

I took the car into the dealership to check an odd noise that comes from the front of the car every time I pass over speed bump or road holes.

They say I have to replace the steering rack. Can it be fixed or have to be changed anyway?

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: 2013 - Squeaking Noise When Turning Right At Around 15 - 20 Mph

My Elantra has about 5,500 miles on it now. I went on a road trip up to Washington D.C. during spring break about two weeks ago.

Anyway, it has been making a squeaking noise when I turn right at around 15-20 mph. It makes a sound similar to a swing when its swinging. It's slightly high pitched and sounds like it's metal on metal. It's getting kind of annoying and I think I might take it in to have it checked out.

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Squeaking Noise From Belt Area

I have a 2013 Elantra GL 4 DR (Canadian model). It has 88,000 km on it and has been maintained well.

For the past 2-3 weeks I have been here a squeaking noise from the engine bay that sounded like a bad belt. Sometimes it appears and sometimes it's quiet. I brought my car to a local shop to just switch the tires over and I asked them to take a look but they didn't notice anything and he said the belt is nice and tight. Of course when I leave the shop the noise starts. The noise happens sometimes when driving and while in park so it's not related to motion of the vehicle.

I took the engine cover off and it sounded like it was coming from the left (belt side) side towards the mid-rear of the engine.

Lexus GX 2010+ :: Brake Squeaking Noise At Low Rolling Speed

Bought my 2013 GX460 in Dec, 2012...approaching 3000 miles now. Everything is great, however, I have been hearing braking squeaking noise consistently under these conditions:

1) Low speed braking, such as approaching traffic light.
2) Low speed braking in cold morning (40 degree).
3) Low rolling speed, driving in parking garage

No noise under high speed braking.

Is this normal? I googled a little, saying that such noise is the result of high performance brake they put on the GX460.

Tiguan :: 2010 - Squeaking / Rattling Noise From Trim Points

So we've recently surpassed 11,000 miles on our 2010 Wolfsburg. Overall we really love the Tiguan and aside from a few minor issues, it's been trouble free.

Over the past month I've been putting a lot of miles in doing some out of state travel and have been on some roads that lets say, have been less than smooth ... lots of potholes (filled and not), old pavement, etc and I'm starting to get, or maybe just notice some squeaks and rattles.

Most of them seem to be coming from trim points ... at least thats how it sounds, but the one that is really annoying me the most is the drivers side sun visor. Even when locked into position there's a little bit of play in the visor and it's a really annoying squeak.
