I dont know if this is normal,

about 10 seconds after i start my car, i hear a wierd "farting spring sound" (cant really describe it lol). Did anyone else notice this?

 

I had the same problem and I called the dealership. They told it is your ABS does a diagnostic to your brake system. My car is a 05 AT.

 

I see, so its nothing to worry about. I didnt know about this, thanks greco

 

Yes, read your owners manual. It is the ABS self test, usually happens around 7-10 mph when you first accelerate.

 

yes i have that groaning sound too and it happens when i begin to accelerate too. stupid question, but is this under powertrain warranty or basic warranty?

 

our car farts? sweet...

 

haha thats a good description i know its hard to describe that sound. It can be very embarassing especially when driving past a group of people after just starting up the car.. I noticed the self test must take a decent electrical load too, my interior lights dimmed one time they were on during the ABS test.

 

mines, sound like a spring being hit, going TING.right after i start to drive in the morning. dealer said its the ABS doing self diagnostic. i dont know if thats suppose to be right, but the sound is kinda loud.

 

it's not a serviceable problem... it's suppose to happen (providing what you are referencing is what most on the thread is referring to ABS test)... It should only happen right after start up when you pull away - after that it should not continue every time you stop and accelerate. If you have an unusual sound every time you accelerate it is something different.

 

Normal.


Next topic.

 

yes i have the same problem so i went to the dealer and got it check ... they told me that he havent found a solution to fix it but if it happens again go back in and you can get it fix or replace

 

Well this morning i woke up 5am in the morning...Started the car. and pulled off ..when i heard the Loud fart or screaming sound....coming..... ahhhh ...the sound scared the f**kout of me.. i thought the grl from the ring movie was getting inside of my car.. I freaked out.. .But it seems like everyone is having the same ppl so i'm going to try to ignore it.....But if it continues im going to mention it to the dealer hopefully those ***** do something about it.....

 

Usually caused by a cat napping in the fan blades.

 

Honda's do the same thing.

 

One other thing to note, which I dont think is your problem but something I ran into.

The Muffler mount that you can see behind the driver side rear tire came loose on me and made a little metal/vibration noise. Tightened it up and now its fine.


I have also felt that abs test. It is not a good feeling.
