Prius (Gen 3) :: Metallic Clicking Sound - With The Windows Down
2012 Prius 3 with solar roof. Most of the time when I go over little divest in the road; just large enough to barely feel, I hear a metallic clicking sound from the front passenger side of the vehicle. It is only audible with the windows down. It only happens if I am going faster than around 10mph. Sometimes I hear a similar sound from the drivers side, but not as much as the passenger side. I do not usually hear it when hitting larger bumps that work the shocks a bit harder.
It really sounds like some loose bits of metal contacting each other. I do not see anything obvious with a quick visual inspection, but I have not raised the vehicle to really get a good look down there.
Prius (Gen 2) :: Drove Car With Parking Brake On
I've always found the handbrake parking brake in the Prius not to be very effective (there's always a huge lurch back whenever I take my foot off the brake and I'm parked on a hill).
Today I had to swap the two cars in my driveway around. I backed out from the carport and into the street, then drove back up into the driveway. The driveway's longish with a mild incline.
I had the parking brake applied throughout by accident. (The car's new to me and I'm still getting used to the starting and stopping procedure).
Given it seems to be a pretty weak brake already, is it likely I've done any damage to it? I know I wasn't driving with it on for a long time, but in other cars with better handbrakes I've loosened the brake doing that. Should I go and get it tightened, or what?
Lexus IS 2014+ :: Metallic Clank Noise Over Bumps When Driving With Windows Rolled Down
Heard this noise from the suspension when going over bumps with the windows rolled down? It's loud enough to where i am sure it could be heard if you were a pedestrian walking next to the car. I have an IS350 Fsport (AVS), sounds pretty junky.

My car is a 14' GTI and it's a 6MT. It only has 3k miles on it, but ever since I bought it I've noticed that I can hear a click sometimes when shifting or releasing the clutch pedal.
Is this just the normal mechanical noise? (it's my first manual). I mean the car shifts/drives fine, im just curious.The car is driving fine and everything and shifts perfectly fine. I am newish to driving a stick, but been doing it for a few months now with no major issues.here is a video I took (Car is OFF in this video and stopped, noise is the same when driving though). [URL]......
I'm probably being paranoid, but im not used to a Standard Transmission also, so im not aware what noise they should be making.I guess it's worth noting, that I also kinda hear it when releasing the clutch (but im also shifting at that time as well, and whats in the video is basically the same noise).The car is pretty much brand new......3k or so miles on it, so it seems......unlikely? but I figured i'd ask anyways.
Lexus IS 2014+ :: Steering Wheel Clicking Noise
I have a 250 f-sport model, it's only around 1.2k miles, and I recently noticed a 'clicking' noise while making some turns. Would it have anything to do with the weather? I have been experiencing colder/rainy weather compared to the warm weather I was driving in when I first got the car... Weird 'click' noise? I feel like it's coming from the steering wheel column.... or am I just being paranoid?

Lexus IS300... The sound is coming from the rear. It appears to be left rear. It comes and goes, but seems to intensify when accelerating and right turns. It's annoying. It's embarrassing. I have taken it to several different shops and nobody seems to be able to figure it out. What it could be?
See the video below to hear the noise : [URL] ........

Just received my car back from the service department and noticed a slight clicking sound that isn't too loud, it's mechanical sounding.. Quieter than a ball point pen retracting I'd say. It clicks every quarter of a turn while stopped and low speeds.

Having an issue with the 09 Platinum 5.4. Recently the air ducts to the passenger side have been routed straight to hell. The blow hot regardless of the setting, the driver side is fine. I can hear a clicking noise that gets faster/louder with the fan speed on the passenger side. I am thinking blend door motor? Possible location of this part and some replacement instructions? Wife and kids aren't digging this hot heat all the time, its a very uncomfortable ride in such a great truck!

When I'm driving and I open just the rear windows - I get a buffeting, choppy, shaking noise - kinda like the whop, whop of a copter blade. The first time it happened I thought I had a flat tire. Is it the cover for the cargo area?
View 15 RepliesGolf VI R :: Clicking Sound Audible With Windows Down Over 15 Mph
I have a clicking sound that seems to be coming from under the middle to rear of the car. Its audible with the windows down at anything over 15 mph. It sounds like some ball bearings are clicking around randomly and it's driving me crazy. I have continued to drive and nothing has hard failed yet after 2000 miles. My thought it was a front inner cv that went (grease all over) so I replaced that today, but no affect on the noise.
Other than wheel bearings, the only stuff back there is the haldex and shaft which could be big money. I know the shop I used had to remove the drive shaft to put in the exhaust- anything I can/should check on that?
Mercury - Sable :: Power Windows Not Working / Relay Constantly Clicking
I have a 2002 Mercury sable and have a problem with power windows. When you hit the driver's door window up button, you hear a relay constantly clicking under the dash, fealing the relays up there it seems to be one of the top 2 in the bank of 4 at the top of the fuse box feeling for vibration as it clicks. Any of the other buttons results in a single click then nothing and if the door's open as it was when I worked on it,the door chime stops and no window buttons make clicks or anything until I hit the driver's door up button again. Now if I pull one of the relays I mentioned, hitting the window up and down buttons from the driver's door does make the relay click once when pressed, once when released.
Am I correct in thinking this is a power window relay under the hood, voltage seems alright where I checked it but not having a wiring diagram or anything I have no clue what's what I only checked as well as I could from the fuse box. Another interesting issue which we've had off and on for a while now is when you put the car in gear, it will ding for about 3 minutes, seems more like an hour. No lights or anything, is this all related and I'm all wet on the window relay, or do I have something else going on here?
I need the windows to open, I got sick of replacing AC compressors so pulled it out so we have no AC, it gets hot in there fast. I couldn't care less about the dinging if that's unrelated, the windows worked last I knew which was only a few weeks ago, that dinging was something it did in the fall when someone ever so nicely broke in to the car making the driver's door no longer lock with the electric locks, another problem I can't find but that wasn't a huge concern, that door's obviously been apart many times in the past so I'm not the first to have problems with it.

View 6 RepliesPrius (2010-12) :: Clicking Noise With Oil Leakages
I was going on a trip and checked the oil before I left, I was about 2 quarts low. It's only been 5,000 miles since my last tune up.
Took it to the dealer today to have a clicking noise and also had them look for oil leaks, (Prius parks on a gravel drive)
Service manager said it's probably burning oil.
I'd really like to do a compression test to determine if I have worn rings or bad oil valve seals. Latter would make me feel better.
Prius V :: Fast Clicking Noise While Braking
This morning I went thru a known rough patch on the road and was applying light pressure on the brakes as usual (EV doing about 20 mph). Once the wheels started bumping, a loss of deceleration occurred as expected but what I did not expect was a fairly fast clicking sound (about 30Hz). I *believe* it sounded like the click that is heard when the traction battery is engaged in READY mode, but I'm not completely sure. Where it came from since I was using the A/C and rag chewing on the ham radio. The clicking subsided once I lifted the foot from the brake pedal and reapplied the brakes. No indicator lights came on and the car continued behaving normally.
