#5 of 7 Continuous Rattle by irishblue Jun 25, 2008 (5:26 pm)
I have a 2002 Envoy and have continuously dealt with the rattling noises from beneath the car. I have taken it to numerous GM dealerships, and each time they say it is something different. The problem has never been fixed, and I continue with my frustration over the mysterious source of this noise...as I drive a rattle-trap down the roads of Detroit. Sad. (I'd like to add that each GM dealership I have visited has been a nightmare to deal with. As a born-and-raised Michigan gal, I've tried to remain loyal to American car makers, but this last vehicle has pushed me over the edge. How many more customers can GM and the others afford to lose before they finally get it. Customer service is everything!)

I have a rattle that seems to originate from right behind the steering wheel, and maybe closer to the wheel arch. It sound like a metal heat shield that is rattling against something - it only happens on bumps. Crawled under the car and did not find any loose heat shields that were obvious.   In addition to that, I now have developed a 'howling' noise from the front end, almost as if the 4WD is permanently engaged when it is not.   Could they be related in some way? If I bring it in to a shop, what areas should I ask them to focus on?   Thanks. Replies to this message: kipnita (Jan 16, 2009 1:22 pm)

Replying to: thejumbo (Nov 17, 2008 7:57 am) We had a rattle in our Envoy which made it sound like a log wagon. It was particularily noticable when turning to enter our driveway.   The dealer replaced the front bearings and this did absolutely nothing.   On an internet board a member suggested that I open the driver's door and jump up/down on the sill. This duplicated the problem.   Turns out the bumpstops under the hood needed to be adjusted. A no cost fix.
