The rear end of the car makes a weird whop whop sound when you are driving it has done this since I have bought the car and has gotten worse. When I complained to charper they told me all the kia Rios do this. I fear that a rear wheel is going to eventually come of or blow something. Cant even put windows down when driving it sounds like a helicopter is landing on the roof it is that bad. Hurts your eardrums. Happens no matter what driving condition.
