my car has started farting since recall fix

I took my car in to get the 2 new recalls taken care of. Since ive gotten it back, ive been hearing this howling noise from the driver side while driving. The noise builds up and then once I come to a stop, I hear a air release sound. Simliar to how a Semitruck releases air when it comes to a stop. Very odd...I hope the car is still safe to drive. The brakes seem to be working fine..but im taking it to the dealer again to get checked out.

I reckon it will be a loose hose but your dealer should be able to identify the source quickly.

Just a guess here, but if you have drive dynamic seats there might be a kink in one of the air hoses. Otherwise, just because the dealer can not find anything wrong does not mean that there is not problem. Did they hear the noise? Tell them that it did not do it before and that you want it fixed regardless of what is going on. This noise could just be coincidently appearing after the SBC recall.

Also, please post what exact model you have, that might help other people figure out if they had the same thing happened to them. Do you have a 320, 320 CDI, 350 or a 500?
