I have the Sedan version. I noticed when i'm backing up either foot on the break or off, there comes a noise. It's like a slight rattle. Once the car is warmed up and been out and around it stops. But onces its cooled down it does it very time. Werid!? I took it to the dealership and they can't find anything wrong. They left me with the option of letting it sit overnight and then starting it up and hearing it again. Anyone else notice this?

Yes, I hear something too. It doesn't have to be cold either. Foot on the brake. Back out of my parking space and right after I release the brake is when I hear it for just a second. It can be any time of the day. I have the Sedan too.

| Ya that happens to my sedan everytime i reverse out of my driveway. If I let the car sit for a couple minutes it is not nearly as bad but if I take off 30 seconds after starting it, the rattling tends to be loud. | |

I have taken my lift back, back to the dealer four times - the last time it involved their QA manager. I have since given up and decided I'll just have to live with this irritating rattle. It's a low pitch rattle, kind of a bumping sound coming from the back of the car. Kinda sounds likes it's up, under the car, like maybe something in the suspension. So the first time I took it in, they added some kind of spacer kit to the shocks (or at least, to the left shock). That wasn't it - so another time, the dealer worked on the latch to the lift back door. That seemed to fix it for a day (or was it just wishful thinking on my part?). After that, the rattle was back as loud as ever. I seems to be most noticeable when I'm driving in a parking lot, going over expansion joints or asphalt patchwork. Has anyone else experienced this? (If so, PLEASE tell me what the fix is!)

Replying to: biff9 (Jul 27, 2007 6:42 am) One day prior to leaving work, I actually did take out the cargo cover and put it in the seat with me for the drive home....didn't make any difference. (Also the little tool/tire changing kit too). The QA manager had told me he made an adjustment to the latching mechanism on the lift back door - that was the one time I thought it might have helped but didn't really. It's a great little car and would be darn near perfect if it wasn't for this incredibly irritating bumping sound coming from the back!
