About 2 months back, I had taken my car to the dealership to get the crickets looked at. Was originally told that this was only a problem with earlier models, and my 2015 couldn't be experiencing the same issue. I started it up for him, and he quickly changed his mind. Last week, I topped up with Petro Canada 94 and thought I had driven into a cricket apocalypse. It sounded like this: [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQucyweuWXY"]VID 20150812 204059 - YouTube[/ame]
This was totally unacceptable in my eyes, so I started asking friends if they had any ideas. A guy I know who owns a Maserati suggested that it was probably the ethanol in the gasoline that was causing the chirping sound, and suggested I give Shell V-Power a try. Last night I had finally emptied my car and filled it with Shell, and the crickets were gone. Damn you ethanol, damn you.
tl;dr North American companies put ethanol in their gas to dilute it, and this probably causes the crickets. If you have crickets, get as close to empty as you can and fill up at Shell.
