Hi,
Yesterday I brought my Honda Civic 2016 LX (Canada) in to the dealership for its first oil change per the maintenance minder. They also checked all the fluids of the vehicle along with the regular inspection.
I've had it for around 1 year now, and haven't experienced any issues from the car. Yesterday, after my oil change on my drive to work I noticed a sound coming from the front of the vehicle. It's difficult to describe the sound, almost like air is passing through a hollow point or like the sound of water hitting the bottom/front of your car when you drive over a puddle.
I thought it may be the block heater dangling, but I've re-adjusted and even wrapped the entire cable tightly. Not to mention with my block heater it wasn't making this sound before and it looked to be in the same position it was prior.
More relevant details:
-When I do under 50km/h (~30mph) I don't hear the sound
-When I reach anywhere between 50-60km/h I start to hear it again
-At one point today going down a road where it's 80km/h (50 mph) I heard an alarming snapping/cracking noise. Maybe something hitting something else but it was loud and did not sound good at all.
-Despite these noises driving the car does not feel any different.
I'll upload some audio I took. Sorry and don't mind the monotone voice, I was going to try and commentate hearing the sound a bit but had to concentrate on the road. I can imagine most people's first suggestion will be that I need to go see the dealer again. I plan to do this Monday, but on the off chance anyone has any ideas that would be great. At this point the dealership has completely lost my trust in them. My car went from being absolutely fine to making these noises right after I left from their service. Something like this happening was in the back of my mind before the appointment, but I shrugged it off wondering what could possibly go wrong with an oil change service appointment. Any insight is appreciated!
