Replying to: els2023 (Jun 11, 2006 4:18 pm) With all the new cars I've owned, I think this is just a normal progression. The car won't be as quiet, won't be as peppy and the a/c will make its presence felt. Actually, first time I washed the car today and found that my right rear tire was only at 10psi and a nail stuck to it.  I'm sure this made the sluggishness more apparent. Brought it back up to 32psi and its a little better but still not the same as when it was new new. Also while washing the car, I found the plastic guards inside the wheel well facing the headlights were both popped out of place. I got scared at first thinking that the car might have been at a body shop but I think its because the lower part of the plastic is very flimsy.

Maybe if you were nearing 100K miles.

There is an intermittent rattle in the back of my Fit. It sounds like it's coming from the rear passenger side. Theory 1: There are two access panels on the passenger side of the cargo area that don't fit particularly well. I bought some little foam "dots" and used them to pad the openings. It *seemed* like that fixed it, but then the rattle came back. Theory 2: The plastic liner on the hatch comes down to two points on the sides, and they're not particulary attached to the metal door at all. More foam dots. Again, for a while it seemed like the rattle was gone, but no such luck. My husband refused to ride in the car for a road trip; the rattle was so bad in the first two blocks that we turned around and took our lower-mpg car instead. Theory 3: The center rear seatbelt retracts into the ceiling. There are two metal pieces that slide into slots for storage. They don't seem to stay particularly well, though, and I'm wondering if the plastic on the lower clip is rattling against the car ceiling. I also noticed that there is a bracket around the belt where it goes into the car ceiling, and this swivels around very easily. Is it supposed to? Would you mind running out to your garage and checking for me?  Thanks.
