I got my tl used and it's in pretty perfect condition. Yesterday was 63 degrees in PA and was the first time I drove with the windows down, and I noticed a noise from the front passenger tire area. It sounds like the tire has something "sticky" on it, and every time it goes around you hear it "unsticking". You can really notice it going very slow, once you go faster it is still there but not as noticeable. I had my car for a month and a half and yesterday was the first time I noticed it...cuz the pass window was down.

I have TOYO proxis, and they have at least 90% tread left.. Everything was balanced and aligned dec 15th...

I'm not too worried about it now, but in the summer I drive with the windows down and it's too annoying, plus I don't even know if u can hear it from outside the car..

ANY IDEAS??

Check that tire out maybe u have a nail in it... But then again ur saying its a sticky sound? Hmmm. Only thing i can possibly think about its a nail, remove the tire and take a look.

Btw drive with ur windows up and a/c on durin summer saves u more gas

Nail maybe but then again I don't think I would be able to hear it at a roll... Like I mean, u can hear it from the drivers seat going 1mph, and it has the same loudness as going 5mph.

I have that same noise sometimes. I always thought it was the tpms sensor inside the tire. It's like a sticky but mine goes away and comes back rarely.

Looked but can't find the thread.... there was an issue with a shield over part of the drive train that will make a noise ... mine did untill I adjusted it .. maybe someone else can find it .

Check your tire pressure. Either that or maybe the tire is either out of balance or could possibly be flatspotted. Has it been sitting for a while without being driven?

^ that? or check your tire pressure and look over the tire to see if anything is on it.

I wouldnt think it would be flat spotted, the tires are pretty new and I bought it off the lot the first day they had it for sale. The little rubber things haven't even worn off the tires yet.

I actually encountered this problem and posted pic's too.
Can't find the thread though. Think it was 1.5-2 yrs ago.

basically the bolt holding the heatshield is loose.

This bolt sits right above where the two exhaust pipes meet. There is a gap in between them where you can use a long ratchet 3/8 and tighten it up.

Hi. I am having the same issue with my ZDX, just want to know what happen to your vehicle that causes this problem.

Anyone have this issue? I have this issue as of right now..

Ok, I have the sticky issue with my rim/ tires. I have KMC 22" rims with low profile 305/40/22.Mine started making noise last week after a car wash detailing. My only thought is they got too much armourall on the tire/rim seal and it's making a wet rubber on alumn. Sound. Any thoughts or experiences on this?

I had the same issue with mine, it was the interior of the wheels coating coming off peeling like an orange, rubbing against my brake caliper. everytime the wheel turned it was hitting my brake caliper ,scraped it off and noise was gone
