brand new 2015 pepper white hardtop s in auto
I drove about 100 miles from the lot to my house, when I parked in my parking lot, I heard a weird sound as if there is a small helicopter in my backseat, I know thats a terrible description but I don't know how else to describe it. First thing that I thought was maybe something in my trunk is sitting against some pole or something.
I looked in my backseat and noticed some screw just sitting there, I will get pics soon. Before signing the contract I mentioned there was some water under the car and no other car in the lot, and it was a sunny day so it was weird that it hasn't evaporated. I asked them to inspect it and it was all A-OKAY, but what if that screw came from some inspection and now something is loose?
I test drove it before purchasing and my dad was in the back, no sound. I only heard the sound after an hour drive and when I got home.
just looking for some reassurance, again I will post pics soon, I want to read through my owners manual and take the car for a run and see if I hear the noise again.
so I noticed my left window makes a sound as if its rubbing against rubber when the road is bumpy.....the right door is also rattling like crazy(I read this might be a seatbelt issue so ill check later)......and I tried locating the source of the helicopter sound and it really sounds like its coming from under the back right side of my car, maybe near the wheel or something. As soon as I hit idle after driving in the free way for 20 min, I can hear the rattle. As soon as I start accelerating it is gone, and as soon as I kill the engine the sound is gone.
