Hi All,
I got a chime while driving my 1999 Chevy Malibu which sounded like "bong- Bong -" it lasted for about 10 seconds then stopped. There were no indications of a problem and the car kept right on going as usual.
Can anyone tell me what this "bong-bong" chime indicates. THis has occurred about 3 times over the past 2 years. Do I have a problem? or is this some strange warning chime..? I would appreciate any help I can get on this.
Thanks.

I'm not sure if this is the case, but once my auto lock buttons on one of the doors was stuck. The chiming occurred every so often while driving. I would look for something innocuous like this. Any warning lights?

Hello Patrick 81,
Thank you for your reply. To answer your question , I did not get any warning lights and the vehicle runs okay. I am just worried that there might be an underlying problem. In my owner's manual they mentioned that if the turn signal is stuck for about ¾ to 1 mile ,there will be a warning chime, I did not notice if the signal was stuck and am hoping that this was the case.
Thanks for your time.

My van chimes when the windshield washer resevoir is low... I don't know if your car has the same feature. But I would check all the fluids to make sure they're all topped off.

Perhaps one of the warning bulbs are burned out so there is nothing to see when you hear the boing-boing?
