You are in the Mitsubishi Outlander Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
it sounds like you never owned any other cars... Prior to my 07 Outlander, I owned brand new 06 Acura TSX and it had ton of rattles, my other car 03 Mazda6 rattles too, forget about these ones though, my friends $50k Lexus GS rattles... as well another friends car 04 Audi A4 rattles. Anyway, my point is that rattle could be on any car regardless of make or price...

Replying to: klas (Jan 28, 2008 3:01 pm) My car had seen so far temperatures from -25 to +35 Celsius in the 17,000 kms and 10 months so plenty of opportunities to develop some rattles. My other car, 05 Mazda3 doesn't have any rattles either after 55,000 km and almost 3 years. The only part that rattled at one point was the glove box door, but Mazda had a TSB on it and I got it replaced; no rattles ever since. Maybe I'm lucky....

Replying to: dodo2 (Jan 28, 2008 8:20 pm) I have terrible experiences with my old car. It was up to me to find that loose screw, nut, and bolt left for the people servicing my car. The replacement of an old A/C filter produce so much rattle that I have to take the car back to the dealer to install again the A/C filter. The adjustment of the free play of brake pedal produce some much rattle that was left to me to re-route the wires under the panel. I can go on and on. Internal wires that have not been properly isolated (e.g. doors) or wires left loose after installing a front fog lights option also can produce rattle. I think Mitsubishi has a strict quality control rules and also dealers must do the vehicle PDI which ensures that the car has been delivered according to some standards. I think the first culprit of any rattle problems should be Mitsubishi dealers and I think this is not doing any good to Mitsubishi America. If doctors can forget a scissor in a human body after the operation you can image what is happen with a vehicle.
