Ford - Taurus :: White Smoke Coming From Hood / Shutting Off And Making Knocking Noise?

My mom was driving to pick me up and she said that all of a sudden about half way here that the car started making a knocking sound and white smoke started coming from hood, the car was also trying to shut itself down while she was trying to pull over. It is a 2000 ford taurus with like 130k. I am so scared that it is the head gasket because my mom, myself and my daughter, and my 16 year old sister all share that car to get around. Is there anything else it could be besides that or is that probably what it is?

Volvo :: 2011 XC90 Making Noise While Braking And Turning

We just bought a 2011 XC90 in Jan 2011. About a week ago we noticed that when you are using the brake and turning a corner there is a weird noise coming from the front end. It only does it at low speeds. It doesn't do it if you turn and you are not pressing the brakes. You can also feel it in the brake pedal as well. I hope this makes sense. We love this car and really don't want to regret that we bought it. Just really confused on how a 2 month old vehicle can be already making a weird noise.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: 2000 F250 - Making Ticking / Knocking Noise

I have a 2000 F250 5.4 that has a ticking/knocking noise. After about 30-60 seconds of first starting the truck in the morning, the ticking/knocking noise appears. It sounds like its coming through the exhaust system and seems to be louder under the front passenger side wheel well. When I rev the engine up, it seems to go away. Does this engine have a cam phaser? Could it be timing chain slap?

Ford - Taurus :: 1999 - Faint Knocking Noise / Smell Of Coolant Inside The Cabin

I have a 1999 Ford Taurus. I have noticed a faint knocking sound for about 6 months. I took it in and the mechanic said ' what noise? '. Then it got louder so I took ot back in and he ssid 'bad water pump' I had another mechanic friend check, and he said the water pump was fine. Plus, I've never had any overheating . a 3rd mechanic said "could be loose torque converter bolts." It sounds like metal clunking on metal under the hood.. rpms, speed, & temperature make no difference. Occasionally get a smell of coolant inside the cabin . I'll attach audio of the noise.

Volvo - V70 :: Hammering Or Knocking Noise After Braking

My car makes a series of about 6 hammering sounds that come from the rear of the car--only after coming to a complete stop. It only happens after I've reversed out of a parking spot (not if I go out forward) and it only happens when I've come to a complete stop the first time, it doesn't knock at any other time.

Grand AM :: 2.4L Engine Making Knocking Noise

2000 Pontiac Grand AM SE 2.4L DOHC 129,000 estimated miles. After arriving home from the highway, I took notice of a noise coming the engine. Popped the hood just to hear the knocking noise. I had a mechanic from a dealership listen to it. His said it was a lifter or two. Doubtful of what he said, I got a second opinion and this mechanic said it was a rod. So, my question is this, can the rods be replaced without removing the engine?

Hyundai - Sonata :: 2010 - Making Noise When Braking?

I have a 2010 Hyundai Sonata with 88,400 miles and I am hearing a knocking noise in my rear right wheel whenever I apply light to medium pressure to my brakes (I don't hear anything when I brake hard). It started a year ago and I heard it throughout the summer. But in the winter, I didn't hear anything. Now that it's getting warmer again, the noise is starting to come back. I've taken it to my mechanic numerous times and he doesn't know what it is. I had my brake pads and rotors replaced just before the noise started a year ago. Here is a video of what the noise sounds like (this isn't me, but the same scenario

Acura - Tsx :: 2008 - Making Noise When Driving / Braking?

My 2008 Acura with 80k+ miles seems to be making a noise when I drive, when I brake. Speed doesn't seem to make a difference although it doesn't start until after I have been driving for a few minutes. Sounds like it is coming from the rear passenger side. I have no clue as to what it could be.

Chevrolet - Malibu :: 2005 - Making Rhythmic Noise While Braking?

When I brake I get a rhythmic noise that starts like a quiet chirp and by the time I have completely put the brake pedal down it sounds like a loud grinding noise. It is a rhythmic pulsing noise, not continuous. I recently got new rear drum brakes, and 2 garages said my front brakes were fine. One guy said it could be the wheel bearing but I looked online and it says that happens when you accelerate, not when you brake. It only happens when I brake at relatively low speeds. In other words if I'm on the hiway and brake to slow down from 70 to 60 or 40 to 30, it won't happen. I also feel vibration in the brake pedal, but only when I have almost completely stopped.

Mazda - B2300 :: 1995 - Making Squeaking Noise Every Time When Braking

I have a 1995 Mazda Truck, B2300 series that is a 4 wheel drive. Recently I had the front brakes replaced, new clay disc brakes. Not so long after that I started to hear a noise as I was braking as well as squeaking. I thought, of course it had something to do with the new brakes. The sound happened occasionally at first and now is every time I brake.

I can hear it as I'm coming to a stop, sounding like it's coming from the rear. It's a rubbing type noise, like a wa, wa, wa, wa that happens until I have stopped. After 2 mechanics I now have a $700 estimate to replace the u-joint, and they aren't even sure if that will fix it.

The front brakes are new. The rear drums have been replaced and machined to fit properly (they thought that was the issue). Is this common or something that I have to fix every such and such miles?

Santa Fe (DM - 2013+) :: Steering Knocking Noise When Turning Right

My brand new 2015 Santa Fe Sport (limited) is making a "knocking" noise (emanating from the steering wheel / steering column?) when I turn right.

Instead of trying to describe what I'm talking about, I posted a video here: [URL] ....

* See 6s and 18s marks

Fault will go away on some turns but is generally consistent and easily duplicated. Took it to the dealer and they are stumped as well -- follow up appointment next week.
