    I have a noise coming from my car it's sounds like a driveshaft but check both and they are fine everything else seems to be ok. Has anyone else had any issues similar to this. Thanks bill

    Are you sure it's not the noise maker that alerts pedestrians? It has a funky sound to it when you are near buildings and the sound reflects off the buildings. You posted in the gen 4 section but your profile shows that you own a 2011. If it's a gen 4 it should be under warranty, bring it to the dealer. Hope this helps.

    When do you have this happen? I have a small vibration noise when the ICE is cold. Mine sound like a heat shield. But until it get worse it will be hard to find.
