Default think i may have a problem

I need a little help. I'm not sure if it is supposed to happen or not, but often, when i turn the hard left i get a (click) noise.

It only clicks once but it happens often. Everytime it has happened, i was driving slow. Like pulling in my driveway is when it has happened most. Or like parallel parking. It sounds like a snap type noise.

I dont know if its normal or what the deal is. I've only had the car for 1 week.


I've driven the car like a baby so far. I havent hit anything, or anything like that.

I heard it the day i got it. Please clarify for me


Thanx,

Carlos (los)

Is the clicking noise under the seat? If it is, then yes that's a minor annoyance common with most cars. Something like the bar under the seat is loose or something. Do a search and you'll find a DIY on how to fix it, or bring it to your dealer and have them order some part and fix it for you.

If this is coming from the front wheel well, you need to bring it to your dealer ASAP to tighten the control arms (mention all) or your tires will be affected. You will also feel better control of the car afterwards as well.

it happened again today.

Its coming from under the hood or along those lines.


I'm bringing it in tommorow to have a scratch buffed out that as found when i bought the car, so they said to bring it in.

I'll have them check it out


thanks alot
