I have a 2007 outlander. It makes a whirring noise (pulsating) which feels like its coming from the wheels. I hope it's not wheel bearings. It only has 35,000 miles on it. The dealer said the tires were not wearing evenly. I just had an alignment, tire rotation & balance done. It still makes the noise. It is heard mostly when I'm declining at about 45 - 50 mph. Someone else said something about a metal noise (cylinder pistons) but I don't know if that's my case. Also, there is a clicking from the steering wheel when I turn it left & right. It sounds like a loose bolt or something inside. The dealer replaced the clock spring and did something about tightening the air bag in the steering wheel but the clicking is still there. Also, when I turn the engine off - sometimes I can't get the key out of the ignition. I have to turn it off all at once fast - if not it doesn't come out -then I have to turn it back to ACC then to off & it will release. Any suggestions? or the same problems? |

Replying to: shakleegirl (Oct 27, 2009 3:09 pm) Clicking from the steering wheel - noticed a little of that but oly in winter. Do not have key ignition - can't help there other than to say I would expect it was a tumbler wear problem and covered by warrenty. My clicking noisee jsut started in the windshield wipers - sounds like a ticking cock in slow speed -but that is the dealers problem.

Replying to: 20vcq (Oct 31, 2009 11:45 am) The frequency of this noise increases when the vehicle increases speed. Above let’s say 70 miles the noise is mixed with the engine and wind noise. Internal failing of the tire/rubber layers is the main causes of these distressing noises. Originally the dealer and I myself blamed this noise on some mechanical faults, including the transmission or the wheel bearings. The mechanics even changed the bearing of the wheel that in his and my opinion was the cause of the noise (all without any success). After some telephone calls to the technical advisory the mechanics took all the tires (and wheels) from the vehicle and replaced them with the wheels and tires from a similar vehicle in the show room and went for a drive. When I saw the mechanics coming back from the test with a big smile on his face I knew that the tires were the problem. That same day I bought a set of 4 new tires and everything ran OK until I sold my vehicle.
