Rattles ....

apw2607 · 04-23-2008, 02:02 PM

Hows everyone getting on with cabin rattles? I've only done 100 miles and a nasty one has developed somewhere in the rear near side passenger area.

JEllis · 04-23-2008, 02:29 PM

During normal driving or only over certain surfaces?.... I would say take it to the dealer but popping and opening plastic panels searching for rattles might make more problems...

Mainly when driving on poor pavement. I'll see how it goes and mention it on the 1200 mile service.

None.... yet.

Davinhci · 04-23-2008, 04:04 PM

might be something minor like loose panels

Occasionally I get this squeaking sound out of the seat belt housing on the driver's side of the car which totally drives me nuts. Fortunately it's not there all the time. When I hear it, I just up the volume a bit!

nusevad · 04-23-2008, 04:11 PM

no rattles that I am aware of..

uthatch · 04-23-2008, 04:14 PM

This is an important topic I think. Rattles drive me nuts so I'm a little nervous about this car being noisy.

Are 335's pretty tight in general?

Hans Delbruck · 04-23-2008, 07:16 PM

Fold-down rear seat maybe?

apw2607 · 04-24-2008, 01:32 PM

SOunded more like plastic rattling to me. I've being digging around back there. That middle brake light housing seems awfully rattly to me. Might be that. Time to get the felt tape out.

zieglerc · 04-24-2008, 03:58 PM

I've got one coming from the area of the rear shade, but it only seems to act up when the car's in motion - totally silent when you come to a stop. Weird.

fmquadri · 04-24-2008, 04:24 PM

over rough road i've got one coming from the rear drivers seat area.. thinking might be the fold down seat.. i'll have to try to relatch them and see...

I've got the same.

I have a really irritating whining noise coming from the passenger seat whenever I go over 5000 revs. It gets ear piercingly annoying at 8000 revs. Only seems to happen when the wife is in the car with me.

I'm utterly confused as to what it might be. Any ideas?

Other than that I have no issues.

skierman64 · 04-25-2008, 09:17 AM

No noises in my car. It's as quiet as a bank vault.

Now that you mention it... I have that one too.
