2017 Forester Limited 36,000 miles. Gas mileage 28 - 32 mph. Oil changes at or before 6K. No oil consumption. Great little car.

When accelerating there is a roaring throating noise that is heard somewhere from the left side on the outside. Reminds me of the old days when a exhaust manifold gasket leaked - or even a defective muffler. I think the exhaust system on this auto is on the right side.

Also, only when decelerating then to full stop (as coming to a stop light) another whining winding down noise from same area.

Both noises seem to be getting more noticeable.

Any ideas here . . . ?

* Next day **

Today I demonstrated the noise winding down to a stop. Once the noise is noticeable I put the shifter into neutral and then brake. The whining noise stops immediately once the shifter is in neutral.

Noticed also the same noise starts up again once I leave the stop position.

So . . . Is this a CVS transmission defect?

Hello,

I have the same model and year as you. I am having the same issue. Hearing the same noise as you describe, and from the same location.


I am also noticing lots of power, and wondering if the noise is somehow related to the CVT transmission being stuck in gear?

Thought at first it was wheelbearings, but those check out. Also thought it might have something to do with the DEF fluid, but that’s also been changed.

I know this is an older thread, but did you ever find out what this was? I can’t get my car until Thursday, so I’m doing some hunting around on my day off to see if I can come to a solution.

I really appreciate it.

If I am reading this correct it sounds like the winding down noise I hear, very hard to get a recording but i did, just its hard to hear without headphones

nobody else can hear it but me lol

the noise when speeding I have been hearing lately on mine, but don't know if its the same, I descibed it as gargling or gurgling when accelerating, but it doesn't do it when I am in neutral
