2010 making funny noise's

beauimoto · 08-31-2009, 02:39 PM

Does anyone have issues with the car making a light screeching noise when you apply the gas or brake? It's like 2 pieces of metal rubbing together for a faint noise, also loud sometimes as well???

Thanks a lot

Can't say I have heard that... how many miles/km on the car? How long have you heard it?
If it was just the brake pedal I would like it was the calipers.

3000 kms and only 1 month old. Heard it about a week after I picked it up

It's the regenerative braking noise.

Why would you hear it when you apply the gas if it is regen?

Just the brakes. Dunno what it is when gas is applied so maybe it's something else.

There might be some linkages rubbing. If it is reproduceable on demand, take it in to the dealer for a look-see. If not, wait till something blows up and then take it in. YMMV,

Throttle is "Drive by Wire", NO linkage.

I've noticed something when going up a hill. Sounds like a rough engine noise.
