Tonight I went out to get something out of my car, I had not driven the car in about 5 hrs. As I opened the back driver side door, I noticed a noise coming from the wheel well area. It was a quiet noise almost like a very quiet motor running, but it was very prevalent. I went to the passenger side back wheel and could hear it there also. I've never heard anything like this. Opened the trunk and listened for the noise but could not hear it there. After a few mins, I started the car and let it run, then shut it off and the noise disappeared. Anyone else experienced this? Only thing I could think of was a fuel pump malfunction?? I honestly don't know.
The only thing that would be moving is the suspension with the car off, even then it shouldn't make a noise much until you put weight down. As long as you're not using a hearing aid, and don't hear it anymore it should be all good from this point on :smile:.
The noise is perfectly normal and it is your fuel pump performing a fuel evaporation system check. Nothing to worry about. It is in your manual if you care to read it.
yes, its normal, its your fuel pump and EVAP system. evap system keeps running for few few minutes after you shut off, it is mentioned in owners manual also.
