Also, at very low speeds (1st and 2nd gears), I can hear a faint, fast, repetitive clicking in the engine bay, audible only to the trained ear, something I had not heard until today. In addition, I hear a distinct 'click' in what I believe is the front axle when I turn the wheel to the left only (while both moving and idling). Brake caliper issue? > Guy I know you have a new car, but this almost sounds like an ignition miss. Got access to a code reader? You might have a code that needs to be pulled. And if it makes you feel better, check the caliper or even for a rock in the tire treads. |
