  • 2015 GXL - Noise coming from Rear LHS of Car - HELP

    Hi All, first thread started, so I hope you can help.
    I bought a 2015 2.8L GXL secondhand with about 12000 kays on it, and it has just recently developed a noise - in the rear LHS region of the car.

    It noise only happens when you go over an undulation in the road. Inside the cabin it makes like deep rattle noise, almost like you think the rear tailgate catches are rubbing on each other . The dealer has no idea (mind you they probably spent 1 minute on it).
    I removed the rear wheel carrier, and it didnt go away. To be honest too, i reckon the noise started to appear sometime around when I first used the two rear seats - but I am not 100% on that one.
    I have pulled the tool box out of the rear door, removed the jack out of the car, pushed and prodded everything else I can think of - all to no avail.

    Perhaps someone has had a similar experience - I am hoping you have.

    Cheers

    Put your rear seats up and down a few times and bang them closed. Sounds like they may be the issue. Does it do it with the seat a] up b] down c] both?

      Well, after about 4 weeks of putting up with the noise, and asking the kids in the back "wheres that noise coming from", I went and took my own advice about "it only happened after I lifted the seats up" - and went and inspected again. After lifting the seats up again, I noticed that the plastic cover that covers the lower rear seat belt mount, had popped out. After taping the edge of the plastic, and popping it back in - the problem is solved.
      Bugger. What makes this more painful - other than the big "L" on my forehead, was that I broke the rear camera surround trying to get the rear wheel carrier off - when I thought that was the problem - so now I am down $25 as well.
      At least problem is solved - I hope it helps anyone else reading this down the track.
      Thanks 404 for trying to help.

        The plastic covering on the 2nd row LHS seatbelt bolt of my 2.8 (near the door) also popped off mine. The bolt seems tight but has more slack in the fixing that the others seems to have. The plastic seems hard to get back on. (only fault so far in over 1 year though)

          Try sliding it on from the narrow end then thumping it home.

            Our new 150 has a similar noise, quite a deep "clunk" or knocking sound coming from rear left when going over bumps or irregularities in the road.

            At first I thought it might be the gas strut on the rear door as the small ball joint attachment to the door is quite loose. I have taken the rear seats out so can't be that. Last night I took spare wheel and cover assembly off the back door and it is definitely better (without spare wheel on door). Will see if it returns with the spare on but no cover. Certainly sounds like a rear door issue but no matter how much I prod and poke, the door seems very solid.

            Anyone else with a similar noise?

              I can confirm that the noise in my car is no longer present.

                Ok, mine is fixed...the rear door locator needed to be raised ever so slightly. Refer to 150 rattles thread.
