svxy Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Has anyone noticed a, (i'll call it a thump) noise coming from the drivers side of the car. I have a 2020 Premiere. It sounds like a water bottle rolling across the car and hitting the door panel. I have heard it every time I start driving, within the first few minutes. I originally thought it happened when I was turning left, hence the water bottle analogy, but it soon didn't follow that pattern and did it even when driving in a straight line. I wouldn't have brought this up into the forum, but my work car is the same model year Outback and it does the same thing. I just had the gas tank recall done on the Outback and it did it 3 times in about 6-7 minutes on the way home. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vege Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 No thumping for me to on a 2020 Premier GT at 10,000km. I would get the dealer to take a look as it is under warranty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMack Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I don't have a new car (05 LGT wagon), but I am just going to throw out there that the auto climate control seems to make some interesting noises as things warm up / cool down. I would take it to the stealership for sure if it was mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoleMan Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 when thumping happens to me its generally a rock in the tire making the noise. Sometimes its ice buildup as well on the underside of the car depending on the weather. The cold weather brings out all the little creaks and moans and normally its nothing to worry about. I remember one time I thought I had a major issue and it turned out I had a stick lodged in between the wheel and the control arm and it was making a thumping noise.
