My car is making a weird noise like a propeller driven aircraft - if I cut the engine and roll, it still makes the noise. It's worse at 45-55 MPG. I checked tires and fenderwells and couldnt see any dust or loose inner fender liner. WTF?! I am having soo many issues since I had my 30K dealer maintenance. Never had a problem when the car was never on a lift :mad: :iono:

hey silkysmooth,
i see you have issues with your yaris since your dealer maintenance.
i saw in other thread you've opened that you applied additional torque to bolts.perhaps all your problems could be solved by jacking up the yaris again,removing all the bolts,apply high-pressure air to the brake pads and joints and re-adjusting the torque after cleaning all the breake pads,wheels and everything related.these type of noises sound to me like something stuck in your brakepads.
