Golf VI R :: 2012 - Rattle Under Passenger Foot Well?

I started having some issues with a quite loud rattle under the passenger side footwell of my 2012 Golf R. It was a distinct rattle that sounded like it was coming from inside the passenger side dashboard. It was driving me insane. There were many posts about rattles and an equal number of proposed solutions, none of which worked.

I set about listening to see where exactly it was coming from an it turned out to be coming from the passenger footwell floor. I went under the car to see if I could hear it. I couldnt but I took all of the under plastics off to have a look. The plastic bracket that holds the O2 sensor was really loose so I though, "success!". Took it off and started the car, but it was still there.

After punching the floor a few times I got back under the car for another look. I noticed that the fuel lines or whatever they are run through a part of the underbody. With the car running I stuck my finger into the small hole and pulled the lines to the side. Low and behold the noise has stopped. A couple of cable ties later and it was all fixed.

Accent RB (2012+) :: Rattle Noise In 3rd Gear Under Acceleration

My gfs car (2012 accent) makes a rattle but more specifically it makes this rattle in about 3 gear under acceleration but not heavy acceleration (slow accelerate in a higher gear) at about 1500-2k rpm it makes a rattle and if i really get on it in the gear it keeps going, the second i let off then get back on (lightly) no noise but when you depress the pedal a little hard it does it again (auto trans by the way) I've heard of this before only issue is I don't remember where or who (useless, and wasn't a hyundai accent) anyway anything would be useful, car isn't under warranty so trying to stay out of dealership...

Accent RB (2012+) :: Rattle In Passenger Side Dash Area

I'm starting to be a little annoyed with a rattle in the passenger side dash area. I looked around to check if there was anything obvious, but I couldn't find anything...

I sometimes get that noise while driving over bumps, but oddly, I usually tend to get it when I accelerate and get the engine at a specific RPM (like some sort of resonance frequency issue?!?). What could cause this?

Accent RB (2012+) :: Rattle Ping When Engine Is Under Load (accelerating Hard Or Uphill)

We've got a 2012 Hyundai Accent GDI. I've been hearing the rattle "ping" when the engine is under load (accelerating hard or uphill). I've read that this is typical for these engines.

I took it to our local Hyundai dealership since it's still under the 60,000 mile warranty. They updated the computer settings and I put in a fuel additive to clean up deposits. They also told me to buy name brand gas from here on out (Exxon, Shell, Mobil) as these engines don't handle cheap gas well.

Now that I've given you enough of a backstory, here are my questions:

- For those that have experienced the rattle "ping", what did you find fixed the problem?
- Any tips or things to look out for when cleaning the throttle body etc?

Ford Brakes/Suspension :: Vibration / Rattle After Letting Foot Off Gas Pedal / Deceleration

If I am going over 60MPH and let off the gas pedal (decelerate, no brakes) I get a bad rattle/vibration that shakes mainly the dash front. only happens when I let off gas pedal. As long as I am giving gas the Bronco runs smooth, no vibration/rattle at all.

I just changed..Front Rear Brakes, Repak Front Wheel Bearings. New Front Rear Shock (deutch Tech), new track bar poly bushings, greased all joints axles, changed rear diff fluid (bottle of transX diff additive 85W-90 gear oil). It did the same thing before all this too and it is intermittent (but more so than not). Sometimes it is really violent (feels like the whole truck is going too shake loose, other times it is fine.

I am going on a long trip Thursday and this is bothering me. Cant pin point problem. One note i towed a boat for the first time last sunday and the problem went away, i.e., more wait in rear? Alignment,tires,driveshaft? I really dont have time to do anything except minor adjustments before I leave.

Prius Plug-in 2012-15 :: Creeps Forward In Drive Unless Foot Is On Brake

I think this is dangerous. Several times I've stopped and hit the turn off button and had the car creep forward when I actually didn't shut off the engine. I had taken my old 07 Prius to the dealer to see if they could fix this and they said they couldn't.

Camry 2012+ :: 2016 LE - Transmission Clunking Noise When Shift Into Reverse With Foot On Brake

Prius Plug-in 2012-15 :: Putting The Car In Ready Mode With Foot Off Brake For Fully Access Of 12V Battery?

Heading out on 4 week 3k mile road trip. Have 12v adaptors for a very efficient laptop and smartphone.

It seems that in "Accessory" mode the PIP is using only the dinky 12V battery so this is not a healthy solution. Is there a recommended strategy to put the car in semi-ready mode and reduce all possible drain so that utilizing the 12V will not be draining the traction battery reserves much at all?

I'm thinking that perhaps trying to put the car in "ready" mode with the FOOT OFF the brake indeed fires up access to the traction battery without firing up other things that require the full power monty that Ready mode with the FOOT ON the brake requires. Seems to me the PIP is a great mobile office solution if we could gain access to traction battery reserves without running much else.

Accent MC (2006-11) :: Rattle Sound In Reverse

[URL] .... You have to crank your speakers to hear properly, the mic in my phone was trying to cancel the engine noise I think... Someone suggested an exhaust hanger in another thread, I still have to get under the car next oil change and check that.

Accent MC (2006-11) :: Rattle When Stopped In Drive

My wife recently bought an automatic 2007 Accent. And I'm in charge of fixing some issues, then of course eventually upgrading some parts.

Now here's the first issue. I notice this strange sound like something is loose and rattling coming from the driver side not sure if it's from the inside or under the hood.

Only happens when the car is stopped, brake pressed, and in Drive. Put the car in reverse, park, neutral, no sound. Also no sound when in D but only when the handbrake is engaged and the brake pedal is depressed.

The car runs smooth, tranny shifts good, sluggish acceleration though. I drive a 2.4L turbo car so maybe this is just normal for the 1.6 Accent.

Accent MC (2006-11) :: Rattle In Front Suspension / Steering

Drive a 2009 accent, 18,500Km

For the last 1 1/2 weeks stated hearing this rattle sound when going over speed bumps, or any bumps/imperfections in the road.

It looks to be coming from the front suspension, I can also feel the rattle a little in the steering wheel, not sure if it was always there but now there is a noise to go along with it now, so noticing it.

Accent LC (2000-05) :: 2003 - Rattle Sound On Acceleration / Load

My '03 gives a rattle sound under load/acceleration conditions. This does not happen during the warm up period, so it appears that the engine runs lean under acceleration. There is no check engine light on for this. Approx 172k KM, (100k miles). The noise appears worse when it is hot/humid outside. I have run a can of Seafoam through it (half in the crankcase, half in the fuel line), and that doesn't seem to have worked. Therefore, I don't think that it is the injectors. Possibly fuel filter (still original)? Any easy way to test?

Passat (B7) :: 2012 - Rattle On The Right Side

My car has rattle on the right side If I push up on the dash it stops-- release the pressure and it returns. Started on rough roads, now almost all the time. Took to my dealer before the 36,000 mile warranty expired and they told me VW doesn't warranty rattles past 12,000 miles. I am afraid fixing it will cause more problems, but it drives me crazy.

Accent LC (2000-05) :: Check Engine Code 0734 / Rattle In Transmission

Last weekend on my way home from work, I heard this small "thump" noise then a rattling noise started. It really sounds like spinning a marble in a plastic bottle.

I got the car checked and we got code 0734 (Gear 4 ratio incorrect). We think there might be a tooth missing on the gear, but the mechanic wasn't entirely sure, as he wasn't a transmission specialist.

Now, I fear this may cost me my first born child, and I might just end up buying a cheap car for the Winter and get rid of this one; the transmission repair costs are ridiculous.

I've been driving the car in the city (30-50 km/h at most), I'm trying to avoid the highway, I'm afraid I'll blow it, who knows.

It has an automatic transmission, with 125,000 km on it, 2003 make.

The noise only happens when the car is moving forward, not when idling/parked, not in reverse. I am very gentle with the car, no highway speeding, no sudden speeding. I did however do an oil change a little over a month ago, and read somewhere on here that if the wrong fluid was used during maintenance that it could cause problems. I will call the shop and ask them about it.

Camry 2012+ :: Rattle Only At 60+ Mph From Rear Of XLE Hybrid

2012 Camry XLE Hybrid

I have a rattle from the rear of my car that I have been trying to identify for 6+ months. It only happens when the car is travelling above 60+ mph. The sound is hard to describe but it sounds like metallic or glass clicking. It is not loud (about a 2 or 3) but it is persistent and driving me crazy (literally, it's not loud but on a long drive gets so annoying).

I have sat in the back seat and it seems to come from the rear of the car (deck, glass, trunk). Been to the dealership several times. They replaced the middle seatbelt and housing to no avail. They have taped down every rod in and metal piece in the trunk. I have laid insulation in the trunk panel and around the spare tire. I have sat with the seat down and reached into the trunk to touch the trunk inside roof while the car is moving to find what is rattling. No one thing I can put my hand on stops the rattling.

Is it possible that its air flow hitting something on my car? I seem to think so because it only happens at highway speeds. But what is making the noise? Wouldn't two physical objects be tapping against each other somewhere?

Is is structural? Like the whole car is vibrating and the entire rear window is clicking against the car somehow? I have literally sat in the back seat for an hour with my ear everywhere and I can't seem to find the problem. I have taped and insulated everything I can think of and I have been to the dealer so many times I think they roll their eyes at me now.

I would love to say this sound is small and doesn't me but it does. When music is playing you cant really hear it but as soon as it stop it is there and persistent.

Prius V :: 2012 - Metallic Rattle Going Over Bumps

I have a 2012 Prius v 5. There's a metallic rattle sound coming from the drivers side under the car. (I think)

Happens only when going over sharp bumps and even road reflectors. Had this happen on my 2001 Highlander. Turned out to be incorrectly installed brake caliper. Needed new spring clips. Don't think this is the issue in the v. Have about 10k miles.

Can only hear the sound with drivers window down and while driving along a curb, k-rail or wall. What's up?
