Strange noises
Greetings,
I’m on my third 450h, this is a 2019 model...after owning it for two weeks all of a sudden there are strange noises coming out of the rear area of the car. One is a rhythmatic thumping, like a small piston pump. Another is a rattling sound. And finally every now and then a sound like a “sliding patio door” closing.
all of these sounds are when the gas engine is running, and whether the engine is cold or hot doesn’t matter.
I have an appointment for service, but I’m really wondering about the reliability of this new model. My last model was a 2010 and had absolutely no issues...!!
please let me know if any of these noises sound familiar and what the results were.
thanks, Larry
