Ford F-150 (2009-2014) :: Dull Clunk In Rear When Driving Slowly Over Rough Terrain

I have less than 1000km on my new 2014 XTR SC. I had an AS 2.5/1.5" kit installed and a wheel alignment. There is a dull clunk in the rear when driving slowly over rough terrain(dirt roads n potholes). It happens occasionally when taking turns at lower speeds too. A friend who is a mechanic installed the kit and its the 4th kit he has installed for me. Never an issue.

The truck had to go to the dealer to have the remote start installed and they investigated the clunk and tightened up some nuts and bolts and its still there. They blamed the leveling kit and said its normal sometimes. This is definitely not normal! I've searched and can't find anything.

Prius (Gen 3) :: Hatchback Door Window Rattle When Driving On Rough Terrain

For the past couple of days I have been hearing a window rattle. It is hard to figure out where the rattle is coming from, but my guess would be the hatchback door. It only occurs when I am driving on a rough terrain with a lot of bumps.

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: While Driving Clunk From Transmission And Idling Roughly

I have a 2011 Sonata GLS with 86k miles. Sometimes, like once every 2-3 days, when I start the car, nothing appears in the box that says "P, R, N, D". The transmission also acts very strange. I often don't notice the blank box when I start the car, but immediately notice it when I put it in reverse or drive. There is an awful "clunk" from the transmission, and the car drives like I'm driving it through 6 inches of mud. I stop, put it in park, restart the car, the problem is gone.

The dealer said if it is a problem with the shift lever, that is not covered under the drivetrain warranty. I really don't have the money for the dealer to do expensive diagnostics/repair.

Ford F-150 (2004-2008) :: Rattle In Sunroof When Driving

I have a rattle in my 2004 Lariat crew cab with sunroof. The sound seemed to come from the rear seat, but I finally tracked it down to to roof of the cab. The back dome light (and interior roof) has sagged some and I guess it's the dome light or wires are rattling when driving.

Tiguan :: Headliner Rattle Behind Sunroof When Driving Over Rough Roads

A rattle has developed coming from the headliner behind the sunroof, I hear it when driving over rough roads. It seems most noticeable on the passenger side. I can replicate it if I thump on the headliner in the backseat behind the sunroof. I can make it stop if I push up against the headliner when sitting in the back seat. And I am pretty sure its not coming from the sunroof which has its own set of noises.

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Tapping Into The Power For Sunroof

I have a Canadian 2011 Sonata 2.0T with sunroof. I am thinking of installing a dashcam. The power for the dashcam is supposed to be USB 5V.

I was thinking of tapping into the power for the sunroof. This way I will get power while ignition is on. I do have a 12V-5V DC converter on order.

How to get to the wiring harness? And how to tap into it? Another option could be the dome light, but I am not sure whether that power is on all the time or not. I only need power while ignition is on.

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Sunroof Explosion While Traveling At 65 MPH

Yesterday, while traveling 65 MPH in 32 degree (Fahrenheit) dry weather, my closed and locked sunroof exploded. It sounded as though as shotgun had been fired. Suddenly the sound of flying glass and gushing wind. I have a 2011 Sonata Limited with factory sunroof. Upon examination after pulling off the middle lane of the interstate, I saw that what was left of the glass was pointing upward, confirming that the explosion came outward, not inward as if something had hit it. There were no vehicles immediately in front of me or in back of me, and nothing in the roadway immediately prior to the explosion.

I have since read on the internet that this has happened to several 2011 Sonata owners and hundreds of Hyundai Veloster owners with sunroofs. After many cases on the Veloster, a recall was made on the 2012 model Veloster, but nothing yet on the Sonata. I have contacted Hyundai who advised me to take it to the dealer to see if the glass was defective. All of the other cases spoke of the same type of explosion where it sounds as though a shotgun has been fired in your car. Any other member here experience the same and what has the dealer done for you. My car has 80,000 miles. Going to the dealer Monday with a hole in the roof.

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Water Leak At Sunroof Area

2011 2.4L Limited leaking at the sunroof area? On a rainy day after my 60,000 mile service I noticed my driver side floor mat was wet. Took it out, vacuumed the water out and asked the dealer to check it at one of my other recall visits. They could not find the source so I took the car to a body shop who confirmed the source of the leak as being in the sunroof area, but are not able to find a solution.

Camry :: Water Pump Replaced Now Rougher Idle - Lower Gas Mileage And Some Rattle

I had water pump and belt changed by a Toyota Dealer on 2006 4 cyl Camry LE. Now the car idles a little rougher, gas mileage is down by around 20%, and there is some subtle chatter noise.

Before the car would idle quiet (could not hear it from inside car), now it is noisier with a little vibration- both in park and drive. Gas mileage is worse, and I am compensating for winter temps (no snow around). I fill the tank and reset mileage to check. The needle also confirms lower mileage too.

A little noise around belt or pump area but another mechanic said belt tentioner is fine, no need to replace. So what could the dealer have done to cause this? What parts/systems do they operate on? Dealer said car sounds o.k., can't hear anything unusual (of course).Is there anything I can check myself or fix myself? I may try an auto stethoscope when I get one. Just want the old car back. Car has timing chain, no belt.

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Cruise Control Will Not Go On And Creaking Sound In Sunroof Area

2012 Sonata Limited... I purchased my car in November of 2011. It had allegedly been driven for 5500 miles by a salesperson at the dealership.

Within a week, both my husband and I noticed that the cruise control would simply not go on every once in a while. The dealer claims to have taken apart the cruise control, looking for problems, but says there are no problems; that I should come back in after docummenting problems more specifically.

I also continue to hear the creaking noise in the sun-roof area. Allegedly, the Body Shop adjusted the headliner clips, but I still hear creaking.

I am most concerned with the cruise control, but annoyed at the dealer for keeping my car for over two weeks and having achieved nothing. I like the car, but this kind of a start with it makes me want to sell it and go get either another Honda or a used Volvo.

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Transmission Clunk When Downshift

2011 Sonata Limited ... I have just under 60k miles and did a tranny drain and refill at 24k and 55k. Just had the brake light switch replaced. For some reason when cruising with the car in overdrive, if I let off the gas to decelerate and ease into the gas again, I get a real hard down shift and shift. So every time I get on the gas again it is either kicking out of overdrive or downshifting and shifting back immediately. 99% of the time it is a hard thump. When I have the cruise set I do not notice this at all. It does it in ECO or out of ECO. This is new and I started noticing this after the brake switch replacement.

Sonata I45 (LF 2015+) :: Squeaky Sunroof While Driving On Bumpy Roads

The sunroof seems to squeak a lot while driving on bumpy/ uneven roads.

Before I didn't know where the squeaking sound was coming from, I assumed it was from the doors. But when I opened up the sunroof the squeaks went away and when I closed it the squeaks came back. The sound is so irritating sometimes that I am forced to drive with the sunroof open.

Santa Fe (CM - 2007-12) :: Strut Leaking - Rattle Or Clunk When Driving Over Rough Roads At Slow Speeds

I have a 2011 SF 2.4L FWD GLS with 79k miles. I replaced the OE struts and shocks 3 weeks ago with Monroe OE Spectrum struts and shocks. This improved the ride tremendously especially on the front passenger side where the strut was leaking.

After driving it for 3 weeks I still feel a little rattle or clunk when driving over ruff roads at slow speeds. I did check the ball joint and wheel bearings while I was in there, and I am certain they are not the source of the noise. I also checked the strut mount when I transferred it to the new strut, and while it appeared and felt ok I think it is the most likely cause of the remaining rattle and clunk.

Any aftermarket strut mounts for this particular model year? I have looked at RockAuto and they have a Moog Part # HYSB9816. This part claims it is for the European builds. Is there really a difference for this particular part?

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Small Clunk When Press The Start Button

2011 Sonata, 42,000 miles. Every now and then the car wont start. Press the start button, everything lights up. Instead of the car then starting I hear a small clunk and then no start. I DO NOT get the "Press the Brake pedal" message. The last time this happened we tried repeatedly to start with no luck. The car then sat for a day. I tried it again with no luck. I them removed the battery clamps and cleaned the battery terminals, reinstalled, put a Start/charger on and tried it again, with the same result. I then opened the engine compartment fuse box and attempted to remove the two "start" relays. They would not come out, but I was able to jiggle them slightly. The next attempt the car started normally. Started normally again this morning.

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Clunk Noise When Turning Steering Wheel

A few weeks ago I noticed a 'clunk' noise when turning the steering wheel. It only did it the first turn on a trip. Over time it has gotten worse - the sound is the same, but it happens for several turns, maybe 10 or so, before it stops. After the car sits, turned off, for a while, the cycle starts again.

I replaced the rubber coupler on the MDPS, but my old one looked fine, and it made no change in the noise.

Sonata I45 (YF - 2011+) :: Rattle When Accelerate Around 2k RPM

I picked up my 2012 limited Turbo last night but noticed there's a rattle of some sort when I accelerate around 2k rpm, it kind of sounds like a bunch of metals being shaken up. Is this normal? I am also trying to test for the left/right pull, but with all the bad roads here in the city its getting kinda tough.
