Some times, not often, when I pull up to a stop light and am sitting there, I hear a single "pop" kind of noise. Sometime it is loud other times faint. It can also be felt and seems to come from behind me and below the floorboard. It only happens after I've come to a full stop and have been sitting there a short time. Has anyone else experienced this? I hope this is not going to be one of those things the dealer said he can't duplicate. Thanks for any inputs.
I know exactly what you are talking about. My dealer could not find it either. It would come and go. Then I tried to figure out what would make it happen sometime and sometime not. I buy gas at several places. So I only buy at Chevron or Exxon now and only premium gas. These two were suggested by my dealer. I have not heard the noise since I switched. Try it. Still don't have a clue what it was, but it sounded like a mini backfire coming from the gas cap or somewhere in the back. It would scare me sometime.
Edfs reply matches the exact problem Ifm having:
AZ: I am on my first trip with my Crossfire from NC to Fl. and I have experienced the noise you talked about and was searching this site to see if anyone else has. It comes from the back, is a thump as if someone has driven into me. My wife has experienced it also. It only happens when stopped such as at a red light and is very upsetting. If no one can give me a good explanation, I will take it back for a check when I return.
This problem is not from window popping or from the few ideas some of you posted to the original post. It almost seems like a single backfire kind of noise.
Thanks again for any further inputs or suggestions. :?: :?: :?:
