The reasons for noise in Buick LaCrosse on bumpy roads are as follows: 1. Severe brake pad wear: When the thickness of the car's brake pads wears below 5mm, the braking force will significantly decrease, and symptoms such as noise during turns may occur. In this case, the brake pads should be replaced promptly. 2. Damaged right front wheel shock absorber: If the shock absorber of the right front wheel is damaged, it can also cause noise. The car should be lifted for a detailed inspection in this situation. 3. Deformed right front wheel hub: A deformed right front wheel hub can generate noise while driving. For safety reasons, it is best to replace the hub. 4. Worn right front tire: Excessive wear of the right front tire or punctures from nails, stones, etc., can also lead to noise. This situation requires further inspection at a repair shop.

When driving a Buick LaCrosse on bumpy roads, I, as an experienced driver, noticed a creaking sound. Common causes could be issues with the suspension system, such as aging shock absorbers or insufficient elasticity, which can produce a metal-on-metal friction noise on uneven roads. Additionally, worn or loose bushings on components like the stabilizer bar in the chassis can cause squeaking sounds when jostled. If door locks or interior trim are not securely fastened, they can also rattle during vibrations. This situation should not be ignored, as continuous driving can accelerate part wear and even affect steering stability. My suggestion is to first park the car and check for any obvious loose parts. If you can't fix it yourself, take it to a 4S shop immediately for a professional diagnosis. Regular maintenance checks on these areas can prevent major issues.

Is it a problem if I hit someone else's car in a parking lot and left?

Leaving the scene after hitting someone else's car in a parking lot does have consequences. If the party involved in the traffic accident drives away from the scene, and there is evidence to prove that the party was unaware or could not have discovered the accident, then subjectively there is no intent to evade legal responsibility, and it cannot be determined as a hit-and-run. Conditions that constitute a hit-and-run in a traffic accident: The party must be aware that a traffic accident has occurred at the time; the party must subjectively intend to evade legal responsibility; and the party must have already left the scene of the accident. Only when all three conditions are met can it be considered a hit-and-run. Penalties for a hit-and-run in a traffic accident: The Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates that in cases where a party causes a traffic accident and flees the scene, the traffic management department of the public security organ will revoke the motor vehicle driving license, and the party will be permanently prohibited from obtaining a motor vehicle driving license again.
