I've had this problem for a while now, and it's been slowly getting worse. At speeds above 30 mph, I start to get a lot of road noise as if I have no tire tread. However, the tires are almost brand new (stock ones). I can get past this but even worse is when I make left turns on an off ramp or opn a highway. The whole car vibrates and the noise is unbearable. The faster I'm going, the louder the noise and stronger the vibration. Of course, the fools at the dealership could not fix it or suggest what it was. Any clues?

 

thats crazy i have the slightest creek when i back up to the left out of my driveway only. but arizona has rolled curbs. theres nothing square about this town but my ride [no pun intended...well ok a little]

good luck to you my friend. it leaves me clueless

 

could be a CV joint?

 

Possible but a bad CV joint is usually most apparent at low speed when turned near full lock....clunk clunk clunk.

Try swapping tires front to rear, see if the problem changes. If it does then it is probably tire related (tho not necessarily)...seperating belt perhaps??

Could be a loose or failing wheel bearing as well.

Could also be transmission related. Some problem at the output of the trans to the axle.

In any case you would think the dealer could...if they wanted to spend the time and swap enough parts...find the problem. Perhaps try another dealer.

Is the car under warrantee?? If so I would take it back to the dealer and demonstrate the problem. Then I would tell them they need to fix it period. I DO NOT want this car back until it is fixed!! I would tell them that I expect a repair in a reasonable time or I would be expecting to be reimbursed for loss of use (rental car expense). If they can not fix it then the car would likely fall under lemon law protections, perhaps they would prefer to provide you with a new one???
