Our Mazda service department can help you diagnose several issues with your vehicle, including strange noises. The team at John Lee Mazda reviews five common car noises and their causes.
Engine Knocking
A pounding sound as you accelerate indicates engine knocking, which is a severe issue. Bring your vehicle in for service immediately if you hear this noise.
Brake Squealing or Screeching
If you hear a screeching sound when you push the brakes, your brake pads are likely worn out. These should be replaced immediately, as brakes won’t function well without proper brake pads.
Rattling Noises
Have you noticed a rattling noise while you’re driving? This can indicate a problem with your exhaust system. You should check this system as soon as possible.
This might also happen if something is loose underneath your vehicle. Our technicians can examine your vehicle’s undercarriage to determine if a vital part needs to be tightened.
Odd Turning Sounds
You might hear some odd noises when steering the vehicle. This indicates a problem with your steering or suspension system, such as worn-down joints or axles.
Hissing Noise
Listen to your vehicle after you shut off the engine. If something leaks onto your hot engine, it will likely make a hissing noise. Contact our Mazda service department to fix a fluid leak.
