I've noticed that my Kia Sorento has been making a strange humming noise when I accelerate. It seems to get louder the faster I go. What could be causing this and is it something I need to be concerned about?
ReplyIt's possible that the humming noise is coming from your tires. Make sure they are properly inflated and check for any signs of wear or damage. If the issue persists, it could also be a problem with your exhaust system or transmission. My advice would be to have a mechanic take a look as soon as possible to avoid any potential safety hazards.
I had the same issue with my Kia Sorento and it turned out to be a problem with the wheel bearings. You should have them inspected and replaced if necessary. Don't ignore the issue as it could lead to more serious damage and potentially expensive repairs down the road.
If you recently had your tires rotated or replaced, it's possible that the lug nuts were not properly tightened. This can cause a humming noise and if left unchecked, the wheel could even come loose while driving. It's an easy fix and you can even do it yourself with a torque wrench.
