Honda Vezel Intermittently Making Abnormal Noises?
2 Answers
Honda Vezel makes abnormal noises at intervals, which usually indicates a problem in a certain part of the car, triggering the electronic alarm system to issue a warning. It could be due to an unfastened seat belt or excessively high water temperature. Below are the specific reasons: Unfastened Seat Belt: If the seat belts in the driver or front passenger seats are not fastened properly, the car will emit a warning sound; if the handbrake is not fully released, abnormal noises will occur while driving; if multimedia functions are not turned off, and the car has an automatic WiFi search feature, it may also make abnormal noises when not connected. Excessively High Water Temperature: If the water temperature is too high, the car will make abnormal noises. The dashboard warning light does not show the water level in the radiator but only the temperature. Once the water temperature warning light comes on, it indicates insufficient radiator coolant. Low Tire Pressure: The car has electronic components that monitor the tires. If a tire is leaking or has low pressure, the information will be transmitted to the alarm system.
I've been driving this Honda Vezel for a year and a half, occasionally hearing intermittent abnormal noises like creaking or dull knocking sounds. Based on my years of driving experience, common causes are likely suspension system issues, such as aging shock absorbers or worn bushings, which become more noticeable on bumpy roads; or a loose engine compartment belt that makes intermittent noises during acceleration or sharp turns. It could also be loose interior plastic trim that makes cracking sounds with large temperature variations. I remember once ignoring similar noises, and a minor issue turned into a major one, costing me thousands more to repair. I recommend going to a professional shop for inspection immediately—don't delay too long. Although Honda cars are durable, abnormal noises are often early warning signs of loose components. Fixing them early can save a lot of money and safety risks.
