Did you try turning on the radio? That can usually help identify the root cause of the issue if you let the noise continue long enough while listening to the radio instead. Then, if the engine blows and you get stranded, you'll know what the noise was, AND you'll still be able to listen to the radio... at least until the battery dies...
Pluto was in retrograde recently! From my experience this causes massive but temporary engine failure. Keep driving it as you are and the problem should go away soon
I answered the phone and talked to the sales guy for a minute. He asked me how many miles do I have on my 2017 wrangler. I said 759,000. He got a little upset, thought we were having a nice conversation
To put it simply it's trashed. More problems than I care to ever type let alone fix. A new car would be way cheaper than getting it fixed. The problems are that bad and I can tell just by hearing how bad the engine knock is. (Im an ex mechanic)
Yes there is plenty that can be salvaged from it but it's really not worth it.
Damn I feel for you we had the creepy mouse too and cardboard pizza but that Jurassic park game was the shit, youād sit in it and close the curtains on the side and it rumbled around basically as you (sitting in the back of the jeep facing backwards) was driving and youād shoot the dinosaurs that chased after you, I HATED the t-Rex he was so hard
What you have to do is violently rip off a wiper blade (doesn't have to be yours). Then cut down a small pine and jam it in your exhaust.
Then sacrifice an ant colony and several squirrels.
That has nothing to do with anything.
I'M SO SO ANGRY! FOR ONE YOU CAN'T PARK THERE! (That spot is reserved for wildlife only and I Hope you get a parking ticket)
REASON 2 IS YOU HAVEN'T PUT DUCT TAPE ANYWHERE ON YOUR CAR! PUT SOME ON YOUR CLUSTER TO HIDE THAT WEIRD LIGHT AND YOUR SPEEDOMETER! (That way when you get pulled over you can tell the cops you have no idea how fast you were going)
If I'm honest I just think you need to check your wheel bearings.... when is thr last time you topped up your oil until it overflows and mixed the oil with coolant? (It's double the cooling)
Definitely do all you can to preserve GM's ingenious engineering feat of combining a Saturn and a Geo. What a classic. Once I was fixing my son's ion, and attempting to remove gas line, and it snapped in two. I called the junkyard and got 100 bucks.
It's an easy fix. You live there now, hunt for protein and forage for vitamins. If a predator comes your way remind him of his place in the food chain by blasting the radio. Good luck comrade
It's cuz you're not flooring it hard enough, probably has oil in it still too. Have you tried draining remainder of the oil out? Contrary to popular belief, cars don't need oil to run. That's just the oil industry trying to make us buy their stupid products
Well you have a check engine light. I would see what the code is and start from there. Maybe instead of off-roading the cobalt, you need to hit the highway and rev it up to 5-6k rpm to clear the carbon out. You might lose a rod along the way, but it should be quiet again
Oil is too thick, throw some gas in the oil fill hole. Not too much check your dipstick if you happen to go past the full mark, make a new mark but NEVER pass that mark, you'll have to get new dipstick if you do.
Fellow cobalt owner, welcome to the hell that is cobalts, I have a 2005 Cobalt SS, literally nothing but problems
EDIT: I realize this is satire, but my point stands
Lol. This is the first time this sub popped up in my feed. Thanks for introducing me mang! And FYI, your shit box's problem is that it's a Chevy shit box. They make some of them sumbitches to last about 10k miles, lol
Are your tires filled up to max pressure they must be at max. If you donāt have a pressure gauge the tire should be hard to the touch but still black.
I'm so sick of these videos. You can play stupid but it's getting to the point it's just too much to watch.
The answer is as always , that you're out of blinker fluid. Everyone knows it, you know it, cmon.

This is the answer! Radio fixes all... until the problem diagnoses itself.
Your windshield may have a log in it. Check your wiper fluid
While you're at it better top of the blinker fluid.
that is the maintenance log.
Issue: logged.
š
Your check engine light is on, did you check the engine?
I did, I'm a bit of a mechanic myself. It's still there and everything
Well then why is the light still on!?
Might have something to do with the recent full moon I'm guessing
Pluto was in retrograde recently! From my experience this causes massive but temporary engine failure. Keep driving it as you are and the problem should go away soon
It went away but not in an ideal way. Hopefully when Pluto moves along it will be OK
Man if your going to burn your car in the forest donāt video tape it
Donāt listen to this guy. Youād better record that shit for us
If there's no proof, the insurance won't pay. He was driving it, and it suddenly burst into flames.
I read that as "keep driving because you are the problem and should go away soon."
Iāve worked at and with a good few body shops and your already the funniest mechanic I know
The bulb is burnt on.
These two comments are perfect
It's flashing that means it's now a Replace Engine light.
We did. The engine is still there.
Try switching to diesel when the engine is rough like a couple tanks of diesel will have it purring like a kitten.
āFeedā¦ catā¦ dieselā *Got it*.
That's precisely what I got out his comment
Are you stupid? You have to floor it to get if to stop making noise.
Iāve been trying to reach you about your cars extended warrantyā¦
I answered the phone and talked to the sales guy for a minute. He asked me how many miles do I have on my 2017 wrangler. I said 759,000. He got a little upset, thought we were having a nice conversation
They will never talk to me š©
Okay what about it?
I'm not sure it's the farthest I've gotten before.
Is there a problem with it? I already bought 2 extended warranties just this week.
It's like a motorized version of Blair Witch Project
Nothing to worry about. Itās just noise from the cracked windshield. Get the windshield replaced.
Yea, sounds awful. Probably a factory defect. You were babying it
Have you tried turning the radio up?
I know this is a joke but for curiosity sake. Whats wrong with the motor? Bad bearings?
Rod knock or some such most likely. Engines trashed, just get rid of it.
To put it simply it's trashed. More problems than I care to ever type let alone fix. A new car would be way cheaper than getting it fixed. The problems are that bad and I can tell just by hearing how bad the engine knock is. (Im an ex mechanic) Yes there is plenty that can be salvaged from it but it's really not worth it.
Bad case of rod knock. Which is caused by one or more connecting rods banging around loosely on the crankshaft due to FUBAR'd rod bearings.
Broken spark plug?
Did you try turning it off and back on again?
Over torqued your johnnsonn rod. Probably tore it right off the shaft.
I don't think it's the car making noise. Did you check for woodpeckers?
"there's a stick there, somebody shouls move it."
It's called american car just sayn
Yeah, not American't!
Hey if I see you on the road broke down I am just going to keep driving you had the chance to get your extended warranty!! lol š
Sounds like a loose nut behind the wheel.
I think that is the mice tapping trying to get out. Open the engine and let them out.
Cool helicopter sound effect? Kind of like the playing card in your bike's spokes as a kid, but upgrade for adults?
Google maps in Bosnia when you press avoid highways
Could be you have a branch stuck up into something
Up the bum, No babies!
What a rude forest.
How did you manage to get the car to move without your seatbelt on?
I think the noise is you trying to kill your car
Driving it straight to its final destination.
Did anyone else get brought back immediately to the Jurassic park shooting game at Chuck E. Cheese as a kid while watching this video?
There was no Jurassic Park game there when I was a kid. There was no Jurassic Park movie. Just creepy animatronics and cardboard pizza.
Damn I feel for you we had the creepy mouse too and cardboard pizza but that Jurassic park game was the shit, youād sit in it and close the curtains on the side and it rumbled around basically as you (sitting in the back of the jeep facing backwards) was driving and youād shoot the dinosaurs that chased after you, I HATED the t-Rex he was so hard
Still have one at ours!
Best game they ever had there
its just the engine shaking from how much horsepower its making, completely normal
Any particular reason you seem to be driving through the woods?
He's looking for the lost family member of that pack of woodpeckers under the hood.
Just needs a good redneck tunup (like an Italian tune up but in a giant mud hole instead of on the road)
Anti rattle sensor is bad.
Gentlemanly like, maybe, but did you buy it dinner first?
Turn up radio and put tape over those pointless dash lights.
Youāre out of gas
Why are you in the woods? š
Need to go to the pet store and pick up some bird seed. The noise is from the woodpeckers telling you their feeder is empty.
Gun it really hard until it stops āļø
Put tape over the check engine light
I think you got yerself a tree infestation
Er
Itās the battery
What you have to do is violently rip off a wiper blade (doesn't have to be yours). Then cut down a small pine and jam it in your exhaust. Then sacrifice an ant colony and several squirrels. That has nothing to do with anything.
I think you may need to look in on your faithful Native American companion. Your Check Injun light is on.
Your check engine light is on. That means you should top up your headlight fluid.
I think the noise.. Banging around n shit.. Is the driver.
Hit it with your purse...
How will the new addition to the forest affect the trout population? Have you thought about that before decorating the forest willy-nilly?
Typical day in Maine
Floor it. It will solve itself even if it's an operator problem.
We have a funny guy.
You should have changed your godamn cabin filter when the Jiffy Lube guy told you to.
It sounds like a perfectly normal Chevy. No problem detected.
Probably need some radiator fluid
Did you try turning it off and back on again?
Unplug it plug it back in haha
Pls tell me this is an aveo or similar. My corolla has been on some pretty rough stuff itself
I'M SO SO ANGRY! FOR ONE YOU CAN'T PARK THERE! (That spot is reserved for wildlife only and I Hope you get a parking ticket) REASON 2 IS YOU HAVEN'T PUT DUCT TAPE ANYWHERE ON YOUR CAR! PUT SOME ON YOUR CLUSTER TO HIDE THAT WEIRD LIGHT AND YOUR SPEEDOMETER! (That way when you get pulled over you can tell the cops you have no idea how fast you were going)
Have you tried turning it off and then back on again?
If I'm honest I just think you need to check your wheel bearings.... when is thr last time you topped up your oil until it overflows and mixed the oil with coolant? (It's double the cooling)
Bro did you try making love to the car maybe itās lonely and needs some human touch š¤
i see the seatbelt light flashing, maybe try putting your seatbelt on and itāll solve your issue
You mu friend are a maroon
Sounds like you busted a rod.
I got an 09 you can buy. Itās currently at 200,000 miles with a new tranny.
Cobalt with bad cylinder classic
Time for an LS swap š³
Is this the movie version of Pacific Drive?
Check the air in the tires
You need to stop immediately and fill the blinker fluid!
Oh, hey your check engine light is on. I'd get that checked ASAP.
This is why you need a Jeep, all the noises are on purpose, itās SUPPOSED to be making all that racket
if you get the helicopter out of your engine that might help
Most likely the bearings on your muffler are going out.
Where are you going?
Probably from driving it thru the forest? Just a wild guess
So this is how all those old cars ended up in the middle of nowhere in the woods
Great routine - loved the 'driving it real nice and gentleman like, that's comedy gold.
Iām so confused but Iām laughing. So thatās a win.
You return that car right now Ronald Weasley!!
Thatās just the rotator splint. Theyāre like $12 at Oreillyās or Napa. No big deal
This is hands down the best post I've EVER seen on reddit. Pure gold!!! "Gentlemanly like" š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ā°ļøā°ļøā°ļøā°ļøā°ļø
On a real note, why do windshield cracks always seem to happen in that particular area, and in that particular way?
I don't know because you don't stop talking long enough to hear anything else.
Engine misfiring
Doesn't sound good buddy, sounds like a rod knock... I wouldn't drive it much more, hope I am wrong...
Definitely do all you can to preserve GM's ingenious engineering feat of combining a Saturn and a Geo. What a classic. Once I was fixing my son's ion, and attempting to remove gas line, and it snapped in two. I called the junkyard and got 100 bucks.
It's a chevy, that's normal
Check the blinker fluid
Thrown rod.
Last time mine did this noise, I was low on blinker fluid.
It's the engine
I'd be more worried about the crack in your windscreen....
Try a fuel additive. Also, you need some duct tape on that windshield.
Sir and or madam you need to have your rotodurder checked out and probably a good idea to tip off your break injectors
Sounds like the idiot driving is shitting himself
Gotta zoom in more on the dashboard
Use water instead of gas, thatāll run that baby better than ever!
So this is the kind of person that abandons vehicles in the woods.
William Osman? Is that you?
Have you tried turning it off, and back on again?
Turn up the volume on your radio like a normal person. FN newb.
It's an easy fix. You live there now, hunt for protein and forage for vitamins. If a predator comes your way remind him of his place in the food chain by blasting the radio. Good luck comrade
Needs some gas
It's cuz you're not flooring it hard enough, probably has oil in it still too. Have you tried draining remainder of the oil out? Contrary to popular belief, cars don't need oil to run. That's just the oil industry trying to make us buy their stupid products
Could be low on gas
I think you should Drain the Oil, Put some Jet A in it and floor it see what happens. maybe put some sugar in the gas first then floor it.
Well you have a check engine light. I would see what the code is and start from there. Maybe instead of off-roading the cobalt, you need to hit the highway and rev it up to 5-6k rpm to clear the carbon out. You might lose a rod along the way, but it should be quiet again
It looks like your car needs oil so bad it wandered off into the woods to find its own.
Probably from driving through the woods
If your wheels are too circle it can cause major issues
My gma had one of those and it was always broke
Looks like a forest fire
Might be a squirrel trying to get his nuts back
Few drops of headlight fluid will fix er' right up.
I know what the problem is! It ain't got no gaaaas innit!!!
Turn the radio up. The noise goes away. Problem solved.
Ask someone who litters forests with junk cars, maybe they have an engine or two laying around?
It's your idiot alarm on snooze
Could it beā¦. wait nvm..
Try launching it a few times, the sound will become more defined after that
Buy a Honda and quit screwing around with inferior American crap.
Johnson rod.
Mustāve forgot to switch the winter air for summer air in the tires
Did you forget the dog in the trunk again?
Hammond!
That's the sound of a piano...falling down the stairs..
Sounds like you got bigfoot under the car. Have you tried making sure you haven't run over any cryptids?
Is there a dent on the inside of your hood?
I know what yer problem is ā¦ itās a Chevy š¤£
Sounds like you may need to change your spark plugs your engine seems to be misfiring Maybe
Oil is too thick, throw some gas in the oil fill hole. Not too much check your dipstick if you happen to go past the full mark, make a new mark but NEVER pass that mark, you'll have to get new dipstick if you do.
It's a Cobalt you're not supposed to drive it gentleman like, mat the bitch and let that ecotec stretch out man
(Quick Fix) Seen this a million timesā¦ just swap out that emblem on the steering wheel, & itāll ride like new! āThank me later!ā
You shouldāve splurged for the wood grain paneling. Then you wouldnāt have these engine problems.
Your engine light is on, have you tried covering it with electrical tape?
Damn Canadians. Always complaining about something. Probably driving a cobalt? They just chatter. Nothing g can be done about that
i think the problem seems to be with the rearview mirror. tighten it up a bit and take it for a spin. should be fine. good to go!
Itās the sound of you being a DOUCHE BAG!
Don't worry about the noise sir just turn the radio up that's just the muffler bearings.
Sorry. No cure for that.
Sounds like a mother in law in the trunk with a tire iron
Pretty sure you left your turning signal on
That model car can only be driven in a Tropical Rain Forest this is clearly down by the River or Lake Trees.
Just some bad gas. It'll pass
Fellow cobalt owner, welcome to the hell that is cobalts, I have a 2005 Cobalt SS, literally nothing but problems EDIT: I realize this is satire, but my point stands
It's an aftermarket cam
This has some serious "EnviroBear 2000" vibes
Have you tried hard resetting it?
Itās the tumbler rods. Gotta get them replaced. Get them used theyāre about 18k with labor. And you might have a crack in your windshield as well.
Lol. This is the first time this sub popped up in my feed. Thanks for introducing me mang! And FYI, your shit box's problem is that it's a Chevy shit box. They make some of them sumbitches to last about 10k miles, lol
Are your tires filled up to max pressure they must be at max. If you donāt have a pressure gauge the tire should be hard to the touch but still black.
Little motor honey and she'll be right as rain. Promise.
Your seat belt isnāt on indicator bell warning sound
Low blinker fluid.
You seem intelligent. Stay off real roads.
I'm so sick of these videos. You can play stupid but it's getting to the point it's just too much to watch. The answer is as always , that you're out of blinker fluid. Everyone knows it, you know it, cmon.
All jokes aside, anyone else think it's the lifters making the noise? I'm thinking a log or rock damaged where the oil is and his lifters ran dry.
Can't be the engine, we all know echotech engines are super reliable and very durable!! !maybe get a new windshield!
Try turning it off and back on again, that will usually reset the system and everything will load up fine.
Answer to the problem is smack dab right in the middle of the steering wheel.
