Rattle @ 2k RPM
 
Alright guys and gals... here's a question that may have been asked previously but I couldn't find a thread about it. So around 2000 RPMs I can hear a slight yet annoying rattle to my left, but I can't pinpoint where it's coming from. Sometimes I think it's coming from inside the door, othere times maybe down in the footwell. Anyone else have this problem? Or am I just going crazy. Dealer said they looked for it but couldn't find it. Any suggestions? Thanks!

mine had a similar rattle right after I bought it. I found a relay near the steering column that was loose. No idea why. I tied it to a wire bundle and I haven't heard it since. Look under the dash around the column. The relay looks like a little black box with a metal brackett stuck on it. Good luck.

I'm getting a buzzing/rattle from what seems like my passenger side front door at lower rpm's. It's driving me crazy! Anyone ever have a problem with buzzing/rattle from their doors? I've only had my Proto since September and this is one of the few things that I'm not happy with. Help!

i think this is exactly what i'm talking about. it's driving me absolutely mad! :eek:

Er... yeah... but on the driver's side. I bet it's some clip in the door panel or something...

What's even worse is I'm taking a trip up past Buffalo tonight so I'll be in the car for about two hours and I just know it'll buzz and rattle! I'll just have to turn the stereo up and not think about it, but it's hard not too.

I had a sort of metallic rattling sound coming from the footwell in the Drivers side, it turned out to be where the heat register is. There is a Plastic Trim piece that covers it, and if you tap it you can replicate the rattle. I removed it (its one of those little plastic plugs that slide out) easily and it stopped. Now I am trying to figure out the rattle from either the rear driver side door, or the pillar near my seat belt.

Does anyone get a buzzing or low rattling from A/C or fan particularly on a cold start? Dealer says F-off voided warranty and will not look at it they say I am crazy cannot dupilcate sound. happened after 3rd tranny install!

In have the same problem .Its usually when the car is cold but after 15-20 kms it stops. It pisses me off but its suppose to be typical. I'm gonna try to look under my steering colum too.
