Rattles

[DJ Lennon]

559 miles in, now getting rattles from an unknown source near drivers door and then from the rear, I think possibly in the spare wheel compartment.

Also some fascia has come loose right next to the rear seats on the drivers side, nightmare to get to.

anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Also the suspension seems to have hardened up somehow (I dont have ACC) and bumps and potholes are now bening felt more keenly.

Is it just me?

Just a thought - warmer weather might mean your tyre pressures have gone up a little, making it less comfortable and more prone to shaking the trim to pieces. Not that a new car should be falling apart with less than 1000 miles on it...

Presume I should let out some air in each then and see how it goes?

Mine 450 miles. No rattles even in 'sport' mode and on cobbled streets. Long may it last.
Take it back to the dealer. It is a new car and this should not happen.

I have a couple of rattles i fixed two of them was actually stones behind the plastic guards under the car.

My boot squeek was the spring in the strap that holds the spare wheel tools getting pushed by the boot carpet, Bit of WD sorted that one.

I often get a knock from the passenger side rear i thought it was the seatbelt it was sort of but theres also another.

A creak from the rear passenger door.

All i can live with.

6000 miles rattle free until last week sometime!! Drivers doors creaks a bit but it seems to be contraction when the sun shines on it. It soon stops once I've done a few miles.

Last couple of days, the passenger door has been creaking like mad. Driving me crazy. I've not had a chance to get someone else to drive it till I get it investigated!!
