I have a 1992 Toyota Camry V6 3.0L auto transmission at 244000 Km. The car sometimes make an odd noise while driving. The noise builds up gradually and gets louder and louder at which point I am forced to pull up and turn off ignition. When I re-start engine after 3-5 minutes and drive the noise is gone, but to return again sometime later. Sometimes this won’t happen for weeks, but other times days apart. Earlier it happened when driving fast, over 100 Km/h, but now it happens for lesser speeds too. I cannot pinpoint where the noise is coming from, except to say it’s not from the engine, but from somewhere beneath. If not for this noise the car runs great.
When the mechanic test-drives and finds no noise he is unable to confirm anything. Hoisting the car and checking wheels and the underneath proved negative. Can you suggest what makes the noise and what I should do?
