What Causes the Abnormal Noises in Accord?
2 Answers
Different abnormal noises in the Accord originate from different parts, and troubleshooting should be based on the specific location to identify the cause and carry out targeted repairs. Below are detailed explanations of various abnormal noises in the car: 1. Engine: A whirring sound indicates a bearing issue, while a squealing sound points to a problem with the starter or belt. 2. Transmission: A clicking noise suggests an issue with the transmission gears, a grinding noise indicates a bearing problem, and a rattling noise means severe transmission damage. 3. Brakes: A metal scraping sound means the brake pads need replacement. 4. Steering System: A clunking noise indicates a problem with the steering ball joint or rubber boot.
I've been driving an Accord for several years and have encountered several abnormal noise issues. The most common is a squeaking sound from the chassis. As the car ages, shock absorbers or suspension components tend to wear out, especially when driving on rough roads, which can be quite annoying. Last time, my car's brake discs also made abnormal noises. When the brake pads wore out, they produced a clattering sound, seriously affecting the driving experience. Sometimes, loose interior door panels can also rattle, probably due to poor assembly. If there's a screeching sound from under the hood, it's likely that the belt tensioner is aging and needs replacement. Whenever I encounter these issues, I make sure to visit the repair shop immediately for inspection, as small problems can escalate into bigger ones that cost more to fix. Don't underestimate abnormal noises—they're not just noise but also indicate hidden vehicle faults that can affect safety. Regular maintenance and inspection of the chassis and brake system are good ways to avoid abnormal noises. I go to the 4S shop for maintenance every six months.
