It is very common for car owners to experience a whining noise when accelerating. Cars can make these whining noises from 1 of 2 places. The transmission or the power steering system. They make similar noises because the working fluid and pumps in each have very similar designs. Luckily, the...
Unfortunately, I wasn't cautious enough to see the Surburban pulling a boat barrelling down the third, left turn lane. BAM! Lessons learned: when you're stopped at a light, don't enourage people to make these kind of turns by making gaps (I still let them pull out in front of me...
If your car begins to change gear less smoothly, becomes less responsive, or starts making a whining noise, then you should have it looked at by a professional mechanic. Transmission fluid is bright red when clean and dark red when dirty....
In my case my wife (and now myself) can't stand this noise - weird noise is weird noise - it shouldn't be there. rob105 Member Posts: 1 February 2008 I have a Toyota Sienna 2007 with 19K miles. The engine seems much louder from when I first bouhgt the car. When it start...
The problem do persists, not only on the A6 but on the A4 as well. I have a 2008 and the sound you mentioned is prominent, not only that, it also 'growls' and makes a howling sound when accelerating under load, along with the hesitation. kicking, jerking while picking up from dead ...
The electric mode has very little power, and when accelerating there is a noticeable “lag” before the gas engine kicks in. Once up, the gas engine moves the car fairly briskly. But that lag–it’s almost as if the car has to downshift into first gear–is not only annoying, it’s ...
We’re also not fans of the weirdly weighted steering, which feels quite numb and slow around the centre point before suddenly gaining substantial weight and causing the nose to dart into corners. Setting the steering to Sport doesn’t improve matters, with the extra weight making it feel as...
(albeit a fairly slow one, at 151 horsepower and over 4,100 pounds), it’s worth noting some things that make it a bit less compelling. The weird child-like scream that happens when you hammer the accelerator pedal is the least of anyone’s concerns, though it’s worth noting,...
I also now feel like I’ve played things with quite a straight bat. There are no weird Nissan shooting brakes to be found here. Though there’s still a fine slice of JDM action, don’t worry. In lieu of my other big passion, actually, the French hot hatch. ...
