2004 Mazda MPV makes loud sound when driving faster than about 60 km/hr

When driving my 2004 Mazda MPV it makes loud noise when we drive faster than about 60 km/hr it gets loud and louder sometimes like roar noise coming from the front and feels more through the vents. Drive the same but noticed lack of power in few occasions. Wondering what is the problem and if it is safe to use the car!

    Can you describe the noise? Does it sound like you are driving with mudding tires on?

    Thanks for a quick response. Just wondering how much it may cost and should it gets done thorough Mazda dealer!

    Thanks for all your opinion. You could say it sounds like some sort of mudding tires on or feels something is being touched.

    For some reason this won't let me suggest a solution so I will post it here:

    If it sounds like you are driving with mudding tires on (or a bit like you are driving a small airplane) then you have a wheel bearing that has gone bad. It would be a good idea to get it taken care of ASAP.

    Dear airman_slack, thanks a lot; you are absolutely right. Took it to a mechanics and after a test drive he mentioned the right side front bearing and changed it. No more noise and tension.

There is no way to estimate cost until you know the exact case of the noise. See the dealer for a test drive so a tech can listen to it.

Hi and welcome to FixYa!

As a first course of action I strongly suggest that you have the car scanned to know the fault code and the fix. But I do suspect that you have a faulty MAF (mass air flow) sensor and TPS (throttle position sensor). If one of these sensors are faulty, stalling can really occur. Have it replaced and you'll be good.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

SOURCE: When driving our 2000 Mazda

Mechanical vibration caused by a failed support. The only way to identify which is it is to test them all then just start shaking the parts, either with bare hands or with a crowbar - the part that moves abnormally much or in which the rubber part is frayed is the faulty one and it will have to be replaced. Since that happens only at speed start with the drive shaft and the suspension supports.

My 2005 Lincoln Aviator is making a strange sound while accelerating through lower gears.

yeah , the fluid needs to be checked, the dealer needs to pull the plug and check the levels and fill it accordingly, it my need to have a fluid change also. it sounds like a shift solenoid, but i would have the fluid checked out first.

I'm having the same exact problem as cpurdey with my 2004 Mazda MPV. My mechanic is quite certain it is not the wheel bearing or hub but seems to think it's a bearing in the transmission. Is...

If it gets worse as you're turning right, but not left - Most definitely a wheel bearing on the right side. The right turn puts more stress on the right wheel - louder noise - turn left and release the stress - no noise. You can also lift the vehicle up on a jack and listen to the wheel and hear the bearing in the hub making noise.
