Weird sound from under car…
Pretty much since getting the car I’ve notice this odd sound from under it, like a knock / tap sound (cannot really explain it). The sound only happens after the car has sat for a few minutes and only happens once within the 1st block the car is driven and under light acceleration, after that it will not happen again. It’s almost like something is adjusting or releasing itself.
The sound it not overly loud just a quick, light knock / tap then done. It’s driving me nuts. At 1st I though was my exhaust, but I have since put a Corsa on and it still there. I’ve looked under the car fully and cannot see anything loose or hitting. Any ideas? Last edited by nyrfan; 05-09-2013 at 10:02 AM. |

I'll say... suspension part. Maybe a spring moving in its seat.

I have the same issue within the first block or two after the car has been parked. I have been told that is the EVAP System self diagnostics. I originally thought it was from under the car as well but, the more I listen to it (every afternoon as I leave work), it sounds more as if it is coming from the back seat.

Yep but usually more noticeable as the tank becomes more empty. I agree with the member in the reference posting, it sounds like someone is locked in the trunk. Now, the wife and I just laugh every time it happens.

Happens to me every morning and every afternoon when I leave work. Always at the same traffic signal. Has to do with the EVAP system and fuel pump. 5 knocks every time. Nothing to worry about, it's normal.

Sorry to hear about that tap/knocking sound you're experiencing. That definitely sounds irritating and worrisome. Have you been to a GM dealership to get this checked out? I will happily schedule an appointment at your earliest convenience. Feel free to PM me regarding this matter. I look forward to hearing from you! William R. Chevrolet Customer Care

I have the same issue, I've even took it to the agency where they couldn't diagnose the issue :/
