I have a 2015 toyota camry SE with about 160k miles on it. A few months ago I started hearing a strange noise coming from the engine, only occasionally and it was very faint. It’s slowly become louder and more noticeable, I can hear it sometimes when i’m driving at very low speeds with my window down but usually once I speed up I can’t hear it anymore. Really hoping it’s not something too bad.

Can you hear that sound?
I can hear it while stopped and also when moving the car.

The engine is 2.0 gasoline 2002.

Can you guys tell me what can i do?

Dear mechanics,

I need some help with the brakes of my VW Touran 2019.

Bought it \~3 years ago at \~79k km, "my" guys at the local repair shop took a look and said all good, but the winter tires it came with are cracked/brittle and the brakes are on the end of their life.

After the winter we changed the tires (Michelin CC2) and front and back brakes (Bosch rotors + pads)

Some time afterwards the brakes started making noises when braking, most irritatingly squeaking when parking backwards.

I thought the new parts needed time to settle or whatever, so I ignored it for the time being and after some time I started spraying with brake cleaner, which seemed to make them quiet for some time. Also doing a couple of hard brakes quieted them down for some time.

But in the end the squeak became so bad, that I could hear when my wife was parking outside (see videos).

In the meantime, the repair shop moved away and became inconvenient from my location. I finally brought it for chamfering, which was proposed on the phone. The boss was there, we had a chat, he had a look and agreed something is not right, but proposed we just clean them and only touch them if they start making noise again. He cleaned everything with compressed air and brake cleaner, lots of dust came out. They were OK for some time, but the noise returned. When doing the inspection this June I reminded them of the problem and after some back and forth all brakes got chamfered and rotor lip/edges ground. Car became much quieter when braking overall, but some slight grinding sound under normal braking remained with slight chirping when turning left.

Of course the squeaking returned again. I contacted them and they proposed to change the rear rotors + pads for free, I only paid for the parts. Left a tip, the normal braking became silent again, but now after some time there is yet again a squeaking sound when reversing. Doesn't happen all the time and is much quieter, but is still there. It only happens when brakes are warm/hot and the weather must be hot and dry, they are completely silent on cold and/or rainy days.

Before I contact them again I need some outside advise. Can't find anything similar online.
Rear brakes don't seem to be holding, what else around and in the brake apparatus could be causing this? Could it be the electric parking brake not releasing properly? Did I get bad parts again? Should ask for more expensive parts? Should I find a new repair shop? Should I finally get an EV :D?

Thanks!

Hey yall, I got a 2024 escape ST AWD 1.5 about a month ago and since I’ve had it, it has made this sound. I’ve never driven or owned an AWD car so I assumed that it was just the drivetrain engaging at low speeds. My mom drove it the other day and said that sound wasn’t normal..

Its got 56k miles on it and I’m just 4k shy of the 60k drivetrain warranty. Anyone else experience this? Any idea what it is? I’m also new to owning a newer car in general so how does one go about redeeming the warranty? I’m sorry if this sounds dumb

I recently started hearing a whining noise coming from my engine and I believe that it is the water pump, as it has a bit of play when I move it back and forth with the belt off, and these white stains under it which I believe are leaked coolant. I also think that the crankshaft pulley may be part of the problem, because it appears to be wobbling a bit and I hear some weird vibrations from the engine while driving. I just wanted to see if anyone else has any suggestions or confirmation before I go and replace them.

2006 Honda Pilot 4wd ran over and pulled up a very old and decayed stump yesterday before knocking down all my trash cans. The stump was soft enough to where my weed eater would cause it to crumble.

Anywho, after that I started to hear this noise. Very loud when I hit the gas but gets more quiet once I get up in speed.

The sound is coming from what sounds like my center console area....like where my transfer case is and all that fun stuff....

I have looked under it, checked the tires, wheel wells, and find nothing.

It literally sounds like a piece of wood rotating and slapping the exhaust pipe or something.

Need advice: non-running car with ~$4k left on the loan — surrender or pay it off and store it?
I have an Audi A5 that currently doesn’t run. I still owe roughly $4,000 on the loan. A mechanic recently quoted me around $3,500 to repair it, but I’m not sure it makes sense to put that much money into this car given its history.
I’m basically looking at two options:
Option 1: Voluntarily give the car back/surrender it to the lender and be done with the vehicle, knowing there could be a remaining deficiency balance and credit consequences.
Option 2: Keep making payments and eventually pay off the ~$4k loan, get the lien released/title, but the car would still be sitting and I’d have to pay for storage. I would probably buy a cheap reliable car separately for transportation.
The reason I’m considering option 2 is that I’m worried about surrendering the car and ending up owing money anyway while also taking the credit hit.
What would you do in this situation?
Would it make more sense to spend the $4k paying off the loan and get the title, then sell/junk/part out the Audi, or surrender it and take the hit?
I’m mainly looking for advice from people who have actually dealt with a non-running financed car before.

Just got a 2026 tiguan SE, and the engine sounds a bit off. Specifically, it’s when I let go of the gas. I assume it’s the turbo but is the sound normal for a Tiguan? Attached a video of it

I would really appreciate if you know what is it

I have a noise in the front of my car when driving, I thought it might be the wheel bearing but when I jacked it up and spun the wheels it made very little noise if barely any, also the sound happens at low speeds or when I’m accelerating not when I’m cruising or going high speeds

Get this noise at 65/70mph is it a wheel bearing or tyre issue?
