Squeaks, rattles, clunks, or grinding sounds coming from your vehicle.
A high-pitched squeal when applying the brakes.
Likely causes
Our recommendation
Have brake pads inspected. Most brake pads have a wear indicator that causes this squeal.
A metallic grinding sound when braking.
Likely causes
Our recommendation
Stop driving and get brakes inspected immediately. Metal-on-metal contact can damage rotors.
A loose rattling sound coming from underneath the vehicle.
Likely causes
Our recommendation
Get undercarriage inspected. A loose heat shield is common and inexpensive to fix.
A clunk or thud sound when driving over bumps or rough roads.
Likely causes
Our recommendation
Have suspension components inspected. Worn shocks affect handling and safety.
A repetitive knocking or pinging from the engine.
Likely causes
Our recommendation
Check oil level immediately. If knocking persists, stop driving and see a mechanic urgently.
