2007 camry se makes a popping noise when i turn into my driveway, or any driveway for that matter. Its annoying, and im puzzled as to what it can be. My worst fear is that this car was in a bad wreck.
View 8 RepliesI picked up a 09 ls460 swb a few months back and am slowly turning it into my daily.
at an angle causes a loud popping noise from my roof. I checked the headliner to see if anything was loose but came up with nothing. This occasionally happens on sharp turns on uneven ground.
I recently lowered my car so now this is happening way too often.
I put a Thule roof rack on my wagon a month or so ago and I have noticed that when we turn a corner or hit/go over bumps that it sounds like the roof is popping? Is this normal? what can I do to make it stop?
View 5 RepliesMy 2015 is making a strange noise most noticeable when making a slight right turn up a driveway. It sounds like a spring popping.
View 3 RepliesWhen I turn or go over speed bumps/drive way entries or anything that seems to move my suspension around I hear a creaking noise from what seems to be the roof of my car. It's like metal rubbing on metal and it's pretty apparent. Is this something I should be concerned about? Or something other people have had? I've had this Camry for almost a month, it has 53k miles and was a corporate fleet vehicle before I purchased it.

I have recently notice a single "pop" noise that seems to be coming from the rear when I turn right with a sharp turn.
I have looked in the trunk and under the vehicle but I cannot find where it is coming from.
I installed KW V3 coilovers back in October. About a week ago I started getting a popping noise in the left rear suspension when going over speed bumps or up my driveway from the street at certain angles. I could not find any evidence of the springs binding, but did notice that there was some separation of rubber around the plastic center of the rubber mount beneath the spring. This likely the problem or loose sub frame bolts?
View 1 RepliesWhen the car is in a situation where there is a twisting force, such as entering an inclined driveway from an angle, a loud POP is sometimes heard from the rear of the car. The intensity of the POP varies dependent on speed and angle of incline, higher speed/greater incline/decline produce a louder POP.

View 6 RepliesI have a stick shift Camry 2004 with 160K miles on it and I hear a popping noise (not clicking cv joint noise) coming from the front left side . I hear the noise when I drive off from a stop regardless of whether I am turning or not but mostly when I release the clutch after changing gears on second and sometimes third gear. I was told by a mechanic and a ntb tires and a former toyota mechanic it had to be the struts.
I figured what the heck ordered new mounts and struts had and I installed them and had the car aligned. That did not solve the problem. My next guess was the engine mount by the transmission so i changed that and still no success. The former toyota mechanic told me he now thinks it's the transmission but I am skeptical. How to diagnose this? BTW 95 % sure the problem started when my wife hit the sidewalk really hard (so hard I had to change the rim).
I have owned a 2002 Volvo S60 2.4L for the past two years, and she has served me well. However, I have been having issues lately. She has hit 179,400-ish miles and with age things have started to fail. I want to know how much it will cost to fix these things and if I can do it myself.
There is a metallic popping noise coming from the right front side of the vehicle every time I make a turn (I haven't particularly noticed if it's a left- or right-hand turn when it happens.) I have been advised by my father that it's probably a CV (constant velocity) joint. Is that what's causing the noise?
My right front headlight has gone out, and I've replaced the bulb as well as the fuse, but it's still out. Could it be faulty wiring? The left front blinker has stopped blinking, I hope that's as simple as changing out the bulb.
The shift is automatic, but in the mornings (I've noticed it's mostly when it's cold outside) I attempt to move the shifter out of park and it won't budge for several minutes. Sometimes I have to turn the engine off, and then turn it back on for the shifter to move.
One last question- how often should I change and/or flush my transmission fluid and the filter, and can I do that myself or should I take it to the dealership? (Which I am reluctant to do.)
I have some insane rattling coming from the roof console of my 2009 camry where the sunglasse/remote holder, the sunroof controls, and the map lights are held. I am trying to remove the entire panel so that I can get some foam up there to stop this from rattling.
I have not been able to find any DIY on how to do this. The rattle is there when driving, but is terrible when my music is up (very distracting).
Whenever I back out of the driveway or make a u-turn the car seems the front wheels seems to be making this thumping noise and you can really feel it too. I did some research and found that some other cars do this too. Like this [URL] ...-the-wrong-way for example.
View 6 RepliesMy wife has a 2013 GS350.....when she backs out of the driveway, turning at a slight angle...there is a loud pop that sounds like it is coming from the rear. The noise does not repeat during normal driving or going over bumps...just when backing out at an angle to the left. Dealer could not repeat the noise. Almost sounds like the strut brace/bar is loose or something along those lines.
View 3 RepliesTook in 4 months ago for the body flex popping. Repaired per the TSB with roof shims. While doing so the dealership creased my roof liner, got grease on my roof shade, scratched the overhead console , and left a scratch on the Nav trim bezel. Needless to say I flipped out! All were replaced at the expense to the dealer. Wife saw the bill which was $2k-billed under warranty repair as apposed to sloppy workmanship in the service department.
Apparently tried to fold the roof liner and left a small crease according to them....actually it was 2ft long on the drivers side. Before they put the new liner in I suggested just pull the seats and center console so they didn't crease the new liner,amazingly it worked. They had my car for a total of 8 days on two separate occasions. I guess I can be a certified tech now.
A month after the popping was gone but a rattle developed on the same side(driver's side). After inspecting I noticed that the roof was off kilter and misaligned slightly. Wife said to let it go till the next oil change which is tomorrow at a different dealership. Apparently there is yet another fix with felt tape or something. Car is only 10 months old and I am about to loose my mind with all the rattles and noises on the cheap plastic interior. On a side note, I just got myself a new 2013 Accord EX-l. It may not be as sporty as my wife's Camry but boy is the fit and finish on the interior done right. Yes there is still plastic but its not the cheap feeling,light weight brushed steel crap that is in my Camry.
Some 2007 - 2008 Camry customers may complain of a knocking noise from the front of the moon roof above the driver's or passenger's head while driving. Use the repair procedure to improve the situation. TSB NV015-07
View 14 RepliesAs it is, my roof racks are separated, as if they were going to carry skis or something else on them. I notice a typical wind noise at highways speeds, not unpleasant, but I wonder if I put them together at the rear, or took them off altogether, it would make much difference. Also, as I take off on cold mornings, I notice exhaust fumes collect on the rear window, then immediately evaporate away.
View 3 RepliesAs it's gotten colder, I've noticed my roof interior seems to be popping/squeaking, like really cold plastic shifting - hard to explain but when it's warmer, say > 40, I don't have it at all.

View 33 RepliesI bought a 2015 ES350 in August and have a couple of weird noises.
First is what sounds like either door rubber seal on body rubber seal or window on rubber seal noise over certain types of bumps. Is this common? I can live with this until I bring it in for its first service, but it might be a simple fix I can do.
The second is more of a concern. When I'm moving slowly over an angled surface like a driveway that might cause some "twist" of the car, there can be a loud pop sound. Since it does not happen very often, it is very difficult to locate, and I'm sure its one of those things the dealer service department will never hear. When it happened over the weekend, it almost sounded like it was coming from the roof. This morning, it sounded like it might have come from the rear driver side door, but it is hard to tell.
The car is at rest, engine on, when I turn the wheel (either sides), there is this popping sounds, coming out from the front suspension. It almost sounds like the Titanic moments before it fell apart... It also happens when I drive slow, like parking or backing out...etc. Doesn't happen at >10mph.
So I had my friend turned the wheel and I inspect it. I can feel the spring or something popping on the strut mount of the front wheels. SEE PICTURE.
I also uploaded a video with sound. I have sufficient tools to remove the struts and springs.
