I am having trouble posting

RE: strange noise
 

It sounds like metal flexing

RE: strange noise
 

It only happens one time when I first touch the gas

RE: strange noise
 

No matter how long I drive it then it will not make the noise again untilthe next day Its definitely coming from the front end

RE: strange noise
 

Sorry about the weird post but if I type too much I get the page cannot be displayed message and I lose my post Anyone else have trouble posting

RE: strange noise
 

no

RE: strange noise
 

Wild guess but could it be the brake calipers releasing when you take your foot off the brake before pressing the gas.

RE: strange noise
 

Every once and a while I will hear the calipers on my ES.

RE: strange noise
 

To me the calipers sound like something rubbing, but could be mistaken for metal flexing.

RE: strange noise
 

Well, the strange thing is that when I put it into drive then release the brakes I can coast halfway down my street and it won't make the noise until I specifically touch the gas pedal.

RE: strange noise
 

That being the case its not the calipers. Will listen on my ES to see if I get same noise when pressing gas pedal.

Hi All:

If you hear a clunk on the first drive of the day it is the ABS resetting...

It will only happen once in the morning when you first start the car and drive ....



:)

RE: strange noise
 

That might be it

I paid more attention to it today

It actually does it everytime after the car is shut off and then restarted

Would it possibly reset each time?

RE: strange noise
 

I just looked in the owners manual

It says it will emit a whining sound from the engine compartment when driving immediately after starting the engine

I don't know if I would really call it a whining sound though

Are you still under warranty? If so take it to the dealer.

IT is the ABS resetting it will happen every time the outlander is shutdown and restarted again when you reach 3mph. I discover that one as I got my XLS for a checkup by the dealer last year when I bought it and they changed the wheels bearing as mitsu had a tsb for that but after talking to Mitsubishi Canada they actually discovered that it was thethe ABS resetting itself so it's completely normal Mitsubishi Canada said there is no need for repair!
