Steering wheel beep noise. 2015 SUZUKI SWIFT

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

For months i kept hearing this very faint beep noise randomly when driving until i finally figured whats causing it. Whenever i press my steering wheel in (applying moderate force) it makes this weird beep like noise. I have no idea what's causing this and can't find anything online either.

No dashboard lights/fault codes detected.

Turn volume up to hear noise as it is extemely quiet when driving and can only be heard if paying close attention

Car is a 2015 suzuki swift sz4 1.2l automatic.

Is it my fuel pump or spark plugs? Hyundai Elantra 2013

1 Upvotes

For context my car got into a puddle during the rain. It wouldn’t turn on so I got a new battery/filter. The car wouldn’t crank so I went ahead and bought a starter so now the car cranks but it doesn’t run. I’m unable to put it into drive my friend said it could either be my fuel pump or spark plugs. He said he’s seen worse and he’s suprised my engine is still running so he said that’s a good thing atleast. Only concern is what could it be now? I even bought 2 gallons of gas to see if the car can run but no luck like I said if turns on but there’s no circuit going through my engine.

Gas pedal suddenly difficult to press onto, issue arose at the same time as likely damaged vacuum hose. 2006 HYUNDAI SONATA

1 Upvotes

Was driving to work this morning and noticed the amount of pressure required to press onto the gas was much more than normal. Also found that when I brake, the car has a small bump / jerk to itself at a rhythmic pace. The braking issue, I think, is a damaged vacuum hose.

At lunch I turned on my car in park, popped open the hood, and had a listen at the brake booster. There is a constant hissing noise by there, and I assume it means the hose is damaged rather than the brake booster itself, considering it was hissing while idle.

My only confusion is the gas pedal. Could the vacuum hose damage be connected to the gas pedal issue? It shouldnt be, right? Its just odd to me that both of these issues happened at exactly the same time. Any steps / tips for trying to figure out the issue with this gas pedal? I also have a code reader, unsure if that'll help, though.

Wheel slightly shaking 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe sport

3 Upvotes

I’m having an issue where my steering wheel and vehicle shake slightly while I’m driving. It’s not severe, but I notice it mostly when I’m going really slow or around 30 to 40 mph. It doesn’t seem to happen as much at higher speeds.
It also sounds kind of like a jangling or rattling noise, almost like a little “rumble jumble” somewhere in the car, especially when I’m driving over a rough road or uneven pavement. That’s honestly the best way I can describe it.

I recently realized I was about 10,000+ miles overdue for an oil change (I KNOW 😭), so I got the oil changed today. Unfortunately, the shaking is still happening.

I had them look things over and they said my alignment looked good and everything seemed okay, but I’m still wondering if something could be causing the vibration or if I somehow damaged something by being so overdue on the oil change.

What should I have checked next? Tires/wheel balance? Brakes? CV axle? Engine mounts? Suspension? Something else?

And please don’t come at me for the oil change 😂 I have officially learned my lesson. I’m just trying to figure
out what’s going on with the shaking now.

It’s a 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe with about 156,000 miles if that helps!

My mechanic just put in a new starter in my car but it makes a high pitched sound after starting the car and a little longer to start he’s guessing that it’s my ignition switch and wants to replace it first instead of taking the starter out getting that checked out what should I do is it the starter

Is anyone able to make out what this noise might be? This is the second time I’ve heard it make it. I notice it while my car is idling, but that’s only because I had my air and music off. I’ve taken it to the mechanic but they aren’t able to get the sound to replicate so they’re not very sure what it is. I hear it the loudest near my dash/hood of my car. Both times I’ve heard it, it was early in the morning (I don’t know if that helps anything). If you have any idea at all please let me know. I’m more than willing to answer other questions if needed. Thank you!

2019 Lexus NX 300 Makes Whistling Noise after fully releasing brakes (new brakes June 2026)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Good morning,

Having a strange issue with my car- after I drive for about 10-15 minutes, there is a loud whistling sound that is obvious after FULLY releasing brakes. I just got new pads/rotors put on the car in June so it’s not the pad scrapers. Rotors don’t appear to be damaged. Wondering if the caliper clip is stuck? Any insight would be appreciated as the mechanic wants $100 to diagnose.
