Rattles and noises.

Anybody notice rattles and squeaks coming from interior trim panels and such? Michigan roads suck, but I didn't expect to be getting all that much noise this early in the game... What has been your experience?

What's the Frequency Kenneth?:wub:

My CRUZE puts on a virtual concert of pops & clicks. I look at this thing as a Toy Car. I do not like popping from the struts/shocks or the corners of the CRUZE. I asked the Dealer and they were not aware of any popping issues. Of course that is why they replaced my rear trailing axle at 800 miles?

The piece that sits on top of my instrument cluster vibrates against the instrument cluster itself like 70% of the time. It's driving me nuts. I'm thinking about getting like one of those sliders for chair legs on wood floors and cutting it into a small 1" by 1" square and shoving it between the two pieces. I have a feeling the dealership won't fix a rattle under warranty. Lol.

I forgot to mention both my front seats will creak and groan at times when cornering, pretty sad considering no super fat people have been in my car and other cars I have had seats were quiet past past 100-200K.

This is especially true for the power drivers seat which usually happens after I move the seat & will take quite a few miles to find that quiet sweet spot.

lol I have some but just stoped searching for them, after my wind noise problem fixed partialy by the dealer the little rattles are not so bad trust me. What I do...pump up the volume and forget about them. You fix one rattle and next thing you notice you here something else comming from I don't know where. It's not the cruze, my past 4 new cars rattled from the first month, our roads are in very bad shape so I assume it's not helping very much.

Check your cabin air filter behind the glove box. Last fall I changed mine out at 35K miles and it was 75% blocked with dead leaves. I did reach in with my hand and vac & pull out leaves from under the cabin air filter too.

Yesterday I decided to check it since for the last 6 months I had a constant ticking sound with the blower on 1-2 but not higher settings. Sure enough there was a small handful of leaves with one large one rattling under the cabin air filter.

It almost seems leaves are able to get sucked past the cabin air filter along the front edge between the filter and cover you open, as I found leaves both times as soon as I open the cover. Maybe a thin piece of foam is in order to better seal this area.

The only one I get that I notice and annoys the snot out of me is coming from the driver's door panel somewhere near the back by the seatbelt.

Drives me crazy because I can hear it in my left ear.

I'm about 3 thousand miles away from being out of B2B warranty. I can't decide if I want to take it in for this as once panels get pulled, it usually on tends to make matters worse from my experience.

This is unnecessary. Please take your negativity elsewhere.
