Now I know it's quite normal for there to be squeaking/creaking from the hinges of some parts on cars (hood/doors/hatch and/or trunk) but MAN is my trunk loud...it creaks worse than any of the doors in my house. Anyone else have the same thing? Nothing I can't fix, just wondering if there's anyone else out there who's noticed it.

My trunk creaks when i go over speed bumps.

TRDxD

oh wow...are you sure its not the chassis?

Zed

mine is still quite at 10k miles. although the trunk insert makes a thud if i got over a big enough bump.

TRDxD

lol whenever i go over a bump i get shakes/rattles from all over my dash/trunk....got owrse when i lowered it but thats to be expected..

my license plate frame is the only thing that rattles right now on the hatch... cant say ive heard any creaking though, yet.

Mine makes noise, too. I was thinking of taking EVERYTHING out of the back and trying to figure out exactly what it is. Sounds like the left rear shock or the sway bar making contact with the torsion axle. Could be the jack handle for all I know.

TRDxD

is yours a clunking sound? or does it creak? if it creaks it could just be the rigidity of the chassis. especially if its coming form a corner (when youre going over bumps)

pickledchang

i used to have a problem with this creaking sound coming from the hatch on a previous car, and i traced it down to the ball-style pivot deals where the hatch's gas shocks connect to the chassis. ill have to pay more attention for these sounds... is it making creaks when you hit bumps or when the vehicle chassis is flexing from unevenness in the road?

Mine within the last two weeks has developed a squeeking that goes on constantly while I drive and it driving me and my kids bonkers. Its coming from inside in the rear somewhere.

mcbrew

Mine is more of a clunk. I only notice it when the radio is off and I have to be on just the right kind of road. Something like a very subtle washboard surface might make it happen. I don't notice it on bigger bumps.

Wow... the only things that rattle in my car are the things I have stowed in my dash storage compartments lol. It's very disappointing to know that our cars have the potential for rattling, odd squeaks, etc. when the Fit (roughly the same price) does not. :?

TRDxD

yeah thats very true...even the first gen Fit was quiet as could be...good that you don't have the same problems some of us have though!

I also seem to have developed a NEW rattle...sounds like my windshield wiper...

the plot thickens.....lol

If mine is rattling I can't here it over the TRD exhaust! One great argument for an exhaust mod! ('')

Seriously though, never noted any noise from there prior to the exhaust swap either.

My pet peeve for noises is the dash when it drops to -20 degrees, it pops something awful until you get the interior warmed back up...

WellesleyScion

I get all sorts of sounds/rattling... having a sub back there doesn't help, lol!

my rearview mirror rattles(as in you hear it) when the sub is going, something behind the dash rattles at low rpm's too, never noticed anything from the rear though...

TRDxD

agreed with both kary and wellesley....dash rattle has been a constant woe of xD owners it seems....supposedly if you complain, and your dealership is friendly, they'll put foam inserts in there for you to dampen it...but that doesn't sound like it FIXES the problem. only gives us a break from hearing it. i want to know what the true problem behind it is

w_kary

Really??? Well I am gonna whine like a puppy that hasn't been let outside for a week! I'll let you know what happens!

mcbrew

They'll smack you in the nose with a rolled-up newspaper.

TRDxD

LOL that was good...but yeah for sure, let us know what happens. if they offer to do the sound dampening, you should ask them to go ahead and just check to see what's actually causing the problem...should still be free considering there's nothing that you've done to the car that would create the problem.

JDMJim

my whole dash vibrates and rattles now. well, average temps in the teens prolly don't help. theres' still ice in the suspension bits and door hinges that just won't melt away
