Rattling sounds

[Mikey444]

Even after the first day that I took delivery of my Mazda 6, the driver side door has had this anoying rattling sound, 4700 kilometers later, the driver side door rattling sound has increased dramatically as well as rattling from the passenger side door and both rear doors, headliners on both sides and these past 2 days, I've noticed a new rattling sound coming from the dash. Now, I know Mazda fixes this crap under warranty, but it will come back just as it di with the Mazda 3. I can hear rattles in my sleep after a one hour drive in the car. How should I proceed after having Mazda take a look at the vehicle and if the sounds come back which for sure they will. And for how many hours minimum do they have to keep my car so that I get a courtesy car?

This sounds like a sucky situation because usually what happens is that the dealer cannot "find" or replicate the problem. For any warrantly repairs in the US, you get a loaner car no questions asked.

If you noticed the rattling sound from day one, why didn't you inform the dealer right away?

[Da 6]

well depends...if it's not covered then you have the car rental bill after being under the assumption it was covered. make shure it is covered and in righting before getting a loaner ;)

my hatch rattles occasionally.. only when its really warm outside

[Mikey444]

no, it's all covered, but my concern is of the sounds coming back. The only thing that was ratling since day one was the friver side door and that was when I would put the music loud, now it does not matter if the music is loud and if it's cold or hot outside, there are rattles all over the place driving me nuts.

i get rattles with my BOSE system... but that's coz' i blast the shit outta it :P

[russr]

yeah the bass from the speakers can make just about anything rattle due to low frequency resonance occuring. If you turn the radio off do you get rattles?

[CrazyXZac]

i get peace and quiet when the musiq is off :P

[Da 6]

my tweeter on pass door rattle when pushed really really hard (vol level 4)
(ghey)
after removal of bosals nothing rattles anymore(bowdown)

[CrazyXZac]

i'm debating between puttin' an audiobahn tube vs. a 12" with a MTX amp...

i need to feel the bass :P

[CrazyXZac]

the right side rattles... haven't figured out what exactly tho...

i listen to techno and rap... so yea... but can't figure out where the rattle is from... (eek2)

[Garfinkle]

Yeah the front speakers sound good until you turn them up loud enough to hear them. Then they rattle like crazy. It's a shame really, because it sounds like something that could easily be fixed with a littler more padding and insulation inside the doors around the speakers.

i'm gonna take it up to the dealer... stupid bitches (braindead

[russr]

You really like that braindead icon eh? Most of these issues with the rattling sounds when you blast those bose speakers are normal for this car. It's just the way the vehicle was constructed. I'm not sure what the dealer will do for you except tell you just that.

lol i took it in 2day... they are gonna take a look at it, and put some padding or something... but i atleast got them to take a look at it :P

If you turn the radio off do you get rattles?Yup, even on perfectly smooth roads sometimes. Even when my music is off, I get rattles from all over the place, sorry but that ain normal. Previous altima had bose sound, my sister loved blasting it, car never rattled, EVER from anywhere up until the first accidents started.

its true... but i got a date with the dealer... them bitches gonna take apart the side and check it out...!

[Da 6]

my rattles now consist of sunglass holder w and w/o sunglasses and the passenger tweeter... I'll take it in when I go back to replace the ford pully again.

[russr]

Just an update on this thread: I noticed that my front driver's side door also rattles now though very slightly (you can only hear it when music is off). However, my car rattles like anything when I turn the Bose Audio up enough to hear it nicely. The bass makes thing buzz and it kinda sucks cuz what's the point of this Bose system if you can barely turn it up before you get all this rattling?

What's the solution to this rattling noise problem? Should I take mine back to the dealer as well? I'm afraid they'll make things worse ripping stuff apart.

[CrazyXZac]

i dealer does nothing... coz' i tried that, and all they said was... "we didnt' find anything wrong with your audio system..."

you have to keep bitching until you get your way.

[Da 6]

Not Burger King ;) *cough*Under Warrenty means it doesn't get fixed properly*cough*

So it sounds like these issues with rattling are not isolated to a few individuals but common to a lot of 6 owners.
