What causes the abnormal noises in Hongqi HS5?

[Jensen]

Dashboard system freezing, engine shaking, etc. Here are the detailed introductions: Body abnormal noises: The most common issue with the Hongqi HS5 is body abnormal noises, mainly concentrated in the A-pillar and B-pillar, which becomes more severe when driving on bumpy roads. Dashboard system freezing: During use, the Hongqi HS5 has a certain probability of experiencing a black screen on the dashboard system, but it can return to normal after a restart. Brake abnormal noises: When braking at low speeds, the brakes emit a sharp screeching sound, which, although it doesn’t significantly affect braking performance, is very unpleasant to hear. Engine shaking: The occurrence of engine shaking is not highly frequent, but some HS5 owners have reported that the engine shakes slightly at low speeds.

My Hongqi HS5 has been running for almost two years, and the issue of abnormal noises depends on the specific situation. If it squeaks when driving on bumpy roads, it's likely due to aging rubber bushings in the suspension system. If you hear a sharp scraping sound when braking, it might be uneven wear on the brake pads or a small stone stuck in them. Last time, I noticed a drum-like thumping sound on the highway, and after inspection, it turned out to be an issue with the wheel hub bearing. If there's a clicking sound near the door from plastic parts rubbing, it's probably due to loose clips on the interior trim. Don't overlook noises from the underbody shield—a friend's car once had loose screws on the shield causing resonance. It's best to have an experienced mechanic lift the car and thoroughly inspect it, as noises from different locations can indicate vastly different problems.

To diagnose abnormal noises in the Hongqi HS5, a systematic approach is essential. Metallic knocking sounds from the engine bay during cold starts may indicate a faulty belt tensioner, while creaking noises during turns often point to CV joint issues. From my case experience: buzzing sounds from the dashboard typically result from improperly secured wiring harnesses, and squeaking from the trunk area may stem from worn rear seat latches. Owners should distinguish between persistent and intermittent noises - recording the sounds with a smartphone before visiting the dealership is highly recommended. Some plastic component noises during the break-in period may resolve naturally, but any persistent noise lasting over three months requires immediate inspection. Deteriorated rubber bushings in chassis components are common culprits; always opt for genuine parts when replacing them.
