I was driving today and because of all the rain, I couldn't see potholes very well, well I think I took about 2-3 potholes at about 20mph, but not very deep, but not very small ones either.

Later tonight I was reversing and it sounded like there was a glass bottle under my tire and was rolling slowly as I reversed.. so I checked, nothing there.

1 hour later:

I'm parking at Wendies, and I hear it again, rolling glass sound as I slowly turn into a parking space... check again, nothing!

30 minutes later:

I decide to do some tests, but first I pop the hood open, look around, can't see anything, then close it. Then drive about 20ft, stop, then slowly go again, no rolling sound. Did about 7 stops, and slowly acclerated in 1st gear, no sound this time.. Did some turning tests, drove left and right for about 50 feet at about 5mph in 1st, no sound.. it just went away?

Anyways, anyone have any idea what this could have been? Could me poping the hood have made the sound go away? There was nothing under the car.. first my guess was something broke, and a pipe was dragging or something, but everythings clean as a whistle..

Suggestions on what to do?

 

maybe someone shoved something in your muffler.

 

It may have been a little stone or piece of glass that got stuck in your brake pad that had then fell out later

 

ANOTHER PROBLEM!!

I was parking and forgot to turn off the lights, so I open the door, instead of that annoying long beep, I got this very sketchy buzz, like calling a fax machine! I then turned the lights off, yet the sound didn't go away! I turn on the car, sound turns off.. I try it again to see if it was 1 time problem, so I turn off the car, turn on the lights, open the door, SAME FAX MACHINE NOISE! Turn off the lights, still that annoying noise. Turn on the car, it went away. Usually when you turn off the lights while you get the long beep, it goes away, it didn't for me, I had to turn on the car! So I popped open the hood, disconnected the battery, waited 5 minutes, reconnected it, and it stoped making that annoying fax machine noise when lights were on/car off/door open.

Anyone know what this is? Anyone else face this problem? Should I take it to dealership or not worth it?

 

Yup I had that same weird noise on a few occasions but not recently, it just seems to pop up once in a while, you may also experience your blinker sound disappearing occasionally but if you start your car up the next time it will be fine who knows I have mentioned it to the dealer when I've been there for service and they didn't really know anything about it. I guess it's the least you can expect from a totally new car.

 

I had the same exact fax noise you describe but it only happened one time so I didn't bother to tell the dealer. It has not ever returned. There is a post on this...

 

the thing that sounds like a fax is from low tire preasure, i think (below 27 or 28 psi the car will beep at you)

 

here is the thread...
