I have had the rattle in the cargo taken care of, both door rattles as well. My next trip will be to replace the sunroof headliner track as the liner rattles. I also have a ticking in the wind deflector and some other rattle I can not identify overhead. I am extremely disappointed with the quality of these materials. Most of all, the armrest is loose and all the parts creak, squeak and rattle especially when I put my arm on it.. I have foam stuffed all over and it just does not work. I am going to request a new storage console on my next visit. The service department at Colonial has been very cooperative and is trying, however they did not build the car. Any suggestions or other rattles to look out for? In addition, I just got a recall E mail . Thank You

Replying to: birdboy (Nov 01, 2009 3:41 pm) I suspect part of the reason for the rattles is due to the rigidity of the car's structure. Vibrations pass through such structures more efficiently, so they essentially find the weakest link and viola; there is your rattle! Not that this is an excuse for mediocrity with interior build quality, it just means they need to step up the performance of the connectors and dampeners they use to attach everything. |

| xwesx, thank you. there is a fix for the door rattles. they remove the door panel and fill it with foam which is something that should have been done when making the car. The other rattles I am working on. The rear seat back rattles have paper stuffed in the latches to reduce the play and vibration. i was told they cannot fix them as adjusting the latches becomes a safety issue i am so disapointed with all these rattles and creaks.t! | |
