Alright, I've tried everything short of taking off the plastic pieces on the hatch to fix this damn thing. I did place a couple pieces of foam between the plastic pieces and the hatch, but the rattle is still there. It sounds like the hatch is open, or at least not closed all the way, but it is. I added some elec. tape to the rubber stopper to make it alittle longer so the hatch would fit tighter, the rattle is still there. I don't want to take it to the dealership because I may end up with more problems than I went in with. Are there any hoses or anything under the plastic on the hatch that can come loose. I only hear the sound when going slow, and not especially over large bumps, just when the road is alittle choppy........I am going nuts! Please help!

Is it an 03?
Does it sound like it's coming from the right rear?

If yes to both, it's a rear axle/bearing problem for which there's a TSB. You'll need to take it to the dealer for warranty repair. Sorry.

I thought mine was the exhaust.

 

Yes it is an '03, and it is on the drivers side. Where can I find the TSB to print out and take to dealership? I thought the axel problem was more of a "clicking sound" when the wheel was rolling regardless if the road was smooth or not, where as my noise only happens when the road is bumpy. Anyway if it is the axel, how long does it usally take to fix it? I do not like to leave my car, since it always seems to take longer if you do.
