Five Engine and Vehicle Noises to Have Checked Out

As we mentioned, your model may be making a few noises that are just not normal. When your vehicle is making unwanted or unexpected noises, we encourage you to stop by. We have also detailed what some of these noises may mean, so you can be prepared for what we may find.

• Knocking/Pinging: If you’re hearing any knocking or pinging in your model, there’s a decent chance that some of the engine parts may be wearing out.
• Hissing: Another sound to look out for is hissing. If you hear hissing this may indicate that you are dealing with an overheated engine.
• Grinding: If you hear grinding, you may be experiencing issues with your transmission
• Squealing: Squealing can occur when you are ready to apply the brakes. If you hear this noise, you could be in need of a brake check or replacement.
• Popping: Finally, popping noises can mean that you have holes in your muffler or a possible leak.
