Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Squeaking Noise From Dashboard When Driving Over Rough Road Surfaces And Speed Bumps

I have an RX 450H and noticed that there is a squeaking sound coming from the dashboard. I looked at other posts where people were experiencing similar issues and noticed one post where someone had a GS 450H and fixed this issue by adding felt between the dashboard and the windscreen.

I would like to know whether this method works 100% and whether I can apply this method to the RX 450H. The noise becomes worse when it is cold and especially when the car is being driven over rough road surfaces and speed bumps.

Lexus IS 2014+ :: IS350 F-Sport Driver Side Door Rattle Especially On Rough Road

I got my all new Lexus but driver door has been rattle since 400 mile. It's like plastic vibrating and creaking.... I think it's the door panel is making the noise especially on rough road. When it rattles, I can place my hands on and share the vibration, then the noise would be somehow suppressed.

The problem is that I took it to dealer and they, as usual, cannot reproduce the problem! I took down the door panel myself, tightened all screws...and the noise...got worse....

Drive axles were replaced once a long time ago, before it was lowered.

Ford - Focus :: 2003 - Rattle Noise From Front End When Going Over Very Small Bumps / Cracks In The Road

The roads here in Maine this winter were especially awful with potholes and bumps. My '03 Ford Focus Wagon has recently developed a noise that I can't diagnose. The noise can be best described as a "rattle" from the front end when going over very small bumps/cracks in the road. It almost sounds like loose shocks. They are the original shocks and have 130k miles on them.

Big bumps are not a problem. Car does not bottom out, sway upon braking, or bounce when I put my weight on it and release. Several years ago I had a "creaking" from the front end and my mechanic replaced some bushings which fixed the problem. I originally thought this was the same, but it doesn't sound like that - worried it could be the struts but I want to diagnose it a little better before I bring it to a mechanic and just say that I have a front end noise...

Lexus IS 2014+ :: Metallic Clank Noise Over Bumps When Driving With Windows Rolled Down

Heard this noise from the suspension when going over bumps with the windows rolled down? It's loud enough to where i am sure it could be heard if you were a pedestrian walking next to the car. I have an IS350 Fsport (AVS), sounds pretty junky.

Subaru - Tribeca :: Shudder Like Driving Over Small Bumps On Road When Going Up Slight Incline

2008 Subaru trebeca suv with only 62000 miles, when going up a slight incline in drive you feel quite a shudder like you were driving over small bumps on the road. This is my daughters vehicle so she phoned about 400 miles from were I live & told me what I said above. I told her it sounds to me like the torque converter is not unlocking. And if it is the converter not unlocking would that be a very expensive repair ?

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: 2012 RX350 - Road Noise Transmitted Back Into Cabin When Driving On Rough Road Surface

My 2012 RX350 now for over a year and like it a lot.........BUT.

There's seems to be a lot "road noise" that's transmitted back into the cabin, like driving over expansion joints on blacktop or rough road surface, is this normal?

I drove a 2000 RX300 for 100,000 miles and don't remember it being this noisy. Interior noise is great and quiet.

Golf/GTI VII :: Rattle / Buzz When Driving Over Bumpy Road

I'm getting this rattling sound/buzzing sound when I drive over bumpy roads. I'm not sure if this is the fuel line since the only time I get the rattle is when I drive over bumpy roads (brick roads, uneven roads, rumble strip, etc).

I think the rattle is from the passenger side.

I checked the VW site for recalls (not sure if TSBs will show up) for my vehicle. I think I'm going to take it in to get checked and see if the fuel line rubber washer was ever installed. Would the dealership be able to see if the TSB was ever performed while they had the car in the lot? Does the TSB only apply to certain range of VINs?

Prius (Gen 3) :: Dash Rattle While Going Over Bumps Or Driving On Patchy Roads

I have a rattling problem with my 2011 Prius and Here are the quick facts:

The rattling typically happens while going over bumps or driving on patchy roads. It happens when running over the "buttons" on the road.

The noise is not related to RPM, or transition from battery to engine usage.

If I had to describe the noise, I would call it a "plasticy" buzzing/ticking.

It definitely sources from the driver side dashboard. Passengers cannot hear it well.

This is a video of the rattling.

I have tried pressing down on various panels, none seem to eliminate or dampen the sound completely.

However! Smacking the light-gray panel below the "triangle window" use to temporarily reduce the noise.

I've tried removing the same panel below the driver side "triangle window" because I thought the noise was coming from there but it persisted.

I read on another rattle thread that the column supporting the roof (and bordering the triangle window) is the real culprit, but punching it only reduces the rattle sometimes.

I've brought it into my local Toyota and they did a search for anything that could be rattling. They didn't work, and after they finished the center console was rattling too (which I've fixed).

Also, cold weather seems to worsen the symptoms. I should also state that sometimes I have little to no rattling, but on other trips there is no end to the rattling.

Lexus SC430 :: 2002 - Ride Loose On Road Bumps In Town

I have a 430sc 2002. I have been noticing lately that it seems to be loose on bumps on the road in town. On the highway it is still very smooth. I was thinking about taking it to a alignment shop and having the bushings checked. Is there anything else I should get checked?

Ford 6.7L Power Stroke Diesel :: Door Panel Vibration When Go Over Some Bumps In The Road Or Even Down A Gravel Road

I've got a 2012 F250 SD and when i go over some bumps in the road or even down a gravel road, the door panel on the driver side vibrates and it's noisy. Is there any way to pull the panel and add some foam padding or something to stop this? I can see the panel vibrate or heck, maybe it the whole door.

Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Rattle In Dash When Hit Bumps

My 07 gs350 only has 67,000 miles on it, and I've only had it for 2 weeks. I've noticed a rattle in my dash, seems to be up where the front windshield meets it. It only seems to happen when I hit bumps, which is quite frequent. The roads here in Michigan are absolutely terrible. Also I have run flat tires on it, which I heard makes for an extra bumpy ride... Is this a known problem? If so what's it gonna run me to fix it? Or is it just these run flat tires that I need to change maybe?

Lexus RX 2010-15 :: Eliminate Rattle Sound When Go Over Bumps

I did some searching, and it seems the only way to eliminate the rattle from the rear tonneau cover is to remove it completely? I use mine all the time, so I don't want to remove it, but the flap seems to make noise over most bumps. Any way to eliminate the sounds that it makes over bumps?

Lexus LS 2007+ :: Brake Pad Rattle When Going Over Medium-sized Irregularities On Road

This question is more for those with aftermarket pads (particularly Akebono pads), how much rattling noise do they make when doing over medium-sized irregularities in the road.

Every time my car goes over a bump it sounds like some bits and pieces of the front suspension will be left behind me. Frankly it sounds embarrassing. Unfortunately, two separate dealers have so far told me that the culprit is the aftermarket set of pads.
