Passat (B6) :: Clunking Sound Occasionally On Front
Getting a sub-frame spacer and bolt kit tomorrow... Hopefully that will resolve the clunking sound I occasionally hear up front.. Everything is tight and solid up front, suspension-wise, so we'll see if this fixes the issue. If nothing else, it's a cheap 'mod'..
View 8 RepliesAccent MC (2006-11) :: Gears Begin To Get Sticky / Jerking Motion
07 accent with transmission lurching.
As the auto trans heats up, the gears begin to get sticky. This creates a jerking motion as the engine downshifts while braking. It also happens at high speeds when attempting to downshift for acceleration.
Additionally, while shifting from park at hot temperatures, the transmission will take up to 15 seconds to engage into drive, and even more time (30-40 sec) to shift into reverse.
The car has recently (approx 6-8000 miles ago) had a complete transmission flush. The auto shop in town also suggested and did replace a sensor somewhere which supposedly had gone bad. But the problem persists...
Honda - Fit :: 2007 - Suddenly Making Jerking Motion While Moving And Idling
My 2007 Honda Fit (sport) has been having this problem for a while (6+ months)... It used to happen both while moving and idling.The car will suddenly make a jerking motion (like a lesser version of stalling a manual transmission car). No real sound involved, just the car shakes, sometimes a few times in a row. The engine does not stall, nothing else happens. Not being a really knowledgeable car person, I took it to a shop... they did a massive tune up on it (second time spark plugs were replaced in 30k miles)... $500 or so bucks later, the car works fine again... for 6 months... then it comes back, the "dry heaving" motion now only happens while idling... like sitting at a stop light. It does not happen in neutral. It does not happen in park. If it happens while moving it is much more subtle than it used to be.Car has 158,000 miles on it. Purchased it used at 89,000 miles. It has no codes, and has been checked a few times. It is an automatic transmission.

I have a 97 4runner Automatic that as your driving it hesitates between shifting its gears. Most prominently happens around 80km/hr shifting between gears.
Its a sort of soft sputtering/jerking motion momentarily. It does shift into the gear and does drive fine once its in the gear. My check engine light is on as well now....

I have a 2014 IS 250 F Sport and in less than 500 miles, the car has this "LOUD" clunking/thumping noise coming from the rear when I pass a bump or uneven road. Brought it back to the dealership but the Lexus specialist/technicians said this noise is the characteristic of the vehicle which of course it cannot be a characteristic of the vehicle. This is not the 1st Lexus vehicle I own.
Also, navigation/radio shuts off while the car is in motion? Dashboard just turns dark (completely blackout) while the car is in motion??
Golf IV R32 :: Shifting Gears - Jerking / Clunking When AC Is On
When shifting gears, mainly in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd while the air conditioner is on I'm experiencing jerking / clunking. When I shift it's not a smooth movement and produces a thump. The only way to really avoid this is by letting the clutch out very very slowly. It only happens when the A/C is turned on. Shifting is perfect when the A/C is off.
View 6 RepliesPassat (B6) :: 2006 2.0T - Clunking / Jerking Intermittently When Braking
My 06 2.0t has 73k on it. but i noticed at around 60k that when I brake, almost to the point where I'm stopping (like at a light) the car jerks or grabs...kinda like the tranny is catching or the brakes are grabbing. Twice I've asked vw to check and twice they've said they can't find anything wrong.
Warranty runs out at 75k, so I think I'm going to take it to AAMCO to have them check the tranny and see what they say.
Dodge - Grandcaravan :: Jerking Or Clunking Knock When Comes Almost To Complete Stop
My Dodge van makes a jerking/clunking knock under the vehicle when it comes to almost a complete stop. Feel strong inside the vehicle. If I break hard or gently that jerking/clunking knock will not happen- gotta hit and miss when I tried to control it.I am thinking of front brake which I must replace, it's pulsation occasionally....
View 11 RepliesSuburban :: Low Grumble Sound When In Motion
Just new today a low grumble when in motion. Not the engine, all gauges check. This sound, it's constant unless I am at a complete stop, a lower sound than the engine running. There has been a putter sound for a while now, was told that was an exhaust leak. That sound I thought sounded like the bolts on the front fan hitting something, cuz that happened before, but so mechanic said it was an exhaust leak. That a very faint putter sound. So what have I got left? Something front end, I have a tiny clunk when breaking and taking off. It doesn't seem to be related to the usual stuff I've already had happen. Breaks are fine, tires wearing evenly, engine doesn't skip a beat, temp good, isn't the sound of low steering fluid cuz I know that one.
Could where ever an exhaust leak be finally break loose? I know diesel mechanics but who looks at the wheels and shocks and stuff? Just sounds like something in addition to the engine, not tire on pavement hum but something lower. Sort of surrounds you, windows up it is very faint. Doesn't affect anything either, that I can tell. Muffler? I do have a vibration noise on and off with the muffler. The best I can describe it is a low constant noise while I'm driving and it's there going slow and fast. More audible with the windows open. All I know is I don't wanna die in that truck. Been under it before and other than old leak stains, all I've ever seen is dirt in my eye. What kinda shop does shocks and wheel stuff? What can an exhaust leak do to me? Not even a vibration to go with this noise. I just don't know, this is new.
Infiniti - I35 :: Rattles / Grinding Sound When Car Is In Motion
I have an Infiniti i35 with about 150,000 miles that has a grinding sound that the car makes when the car is in motion. If I come to a stop, it goes away. When I start to move, the sound comes back very slowly and increases with speed. The noise doesn't go up but the grinding just goes faster. On the interstate, the steering wheel shakes a little and I can feel the gas pedal shaking too. What could this be?

I am considering purchasing a 1999 4x4 ford ranger. The original owner has receipts for everything done on it recently. Rebuilt transmission, New ac, New shocks, new tires. I have never owned a ford but I always loved my friend's ranger. The only problem I had with it was an occasional clunking/rattling noise when test driving. I have read and was told this can be a common problem.

Saab - 9-3 :: Rotational Sound Coming From Both Sides Of Rear When Car Is In Motion
2011 Saab 9-3 XWD, currently 9k miles. Just purchased a month ago. Was previously a dealer loaner vehicle. I have this noise coming from both sides of the rear when the car is in motion. I am unsure if it is just loud enough to sound like it is coming from both sides or if it is really coming from both sides.
[URL] .....
It doesn't start immediately, only after the car has been driven a bit. The noise is most noticeable between 5 mph and 10 mph. It is definitely a rotational sound (I can notice fluctuations in the noise as the wheel spins). It appears to come from both sides. When the car is in the air and the wheels are spinning their is no noise (according to the shop I have been to, I have not been present when this has been done), so that would mean it only occurs when the wheels are touching the road. It does not change when the brakes are applied but goes away immediately when the car comes to a stop. It occurs no matter which gear the car is in (automatic). It even makes the sound when the car is off but rolling.
I have taken it to the dealership and several other repair shops. They all take apart the brakes and inspect the drive train, but no one can find anything out of the ordinary.
Acura - Integra :: Clicking Sound On Right Front Wheel When Car Is In Motion Only
1987 model with 160k
Had the two tires changed a week ago - all was fine. Then developed this clicking sound when the car is moving forward.
After it first made this noise, it stopped on its own for three days - now hearing again. I looked under and could not see anything. CV boot seems fine and are recent too.
Every 2 yrs I have Sears service my brakes - not sure disc brake is slipped and touching something - never did that before but several years ago, tire shop adjusted saying it slipped.
I checked the lug nuts - they are tight. What is going on?
Honda - Cr-v :: 1999 - Slight Constant Scraping Sound When Car Is In Motion
1999 CR-V with 70k miles. Just noticed a slight constant scraping sound when car is in motion. I had a friend drive the car in a tight circle around me while I stood in a parking lot and was able to isolate the sound to the front right wheel. Sounds like a caliper dragging on the brake disk. Brake pads have plenty of meat left on them. So far, these are the possible causes I can think of:
caliper piston sticking in bore
caliper not sliding freely on caliper pins
brake hose restriction not allowing piston to retract
I had never heard of a brake hose restriction not allowing a piston to retract, but I just read an online forum comment where someone was having a similar problem, and someone else said it was possible for an old brake hose to look fine on the outside but be swelled on the inside, thus restricting fluid flow. And can something like a stuck piston be remedied with grease, or does the whole caliper have to be replaced?
Passat (B5) :: Car Won't Come Out Of First Gear And Not Going Over 16 Mph Without Jerking
My second car is a b5 passat, and i disconnected the battery to do some wiring, but now... it sounds like the car won't come out of first gear (it's an automatic) and won't go over 16 mph without jerking like crazy.. I thought of maybe limp mode because my GTI has done that but i don't know.
