rocky2 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I just brought in my RX 400h to fix a very noticeable rattle in the rear lift gate. The dealer knew immediately what it was. He said he had the same problem on 4 or 5 RX330 this year. The plastic panel on the inside if the lift gate immediately below the window is what was rattling. My dealer removed the panel and put a felt spacer between the panel and metal door. Rattle happily gone. I hope if any of you experience this same rattle you find this info useful. Dealer had me in and out in less than an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raleedy Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Thanks for a very useful post. Now, does anyone have a solution to the passenger-side seat belt tongue rattling against the B-pillar when that seat is unoccupied? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katzjamr Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 all i have been able to figure out with the passenger seatbelt is to pull it over the top of the headrest so that the metal tounge doesnt have anything to bang against, i guess you could buckle the seatbelt also. i too had the rear rattle that was progressively louder, i thot it was the rear seats at first however my rattle was in the rear right quarter panel next to the rear hatch, also fixed in half an hour at the dealer.

LexRexBlue Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 I don't have a solution but I have the same problem and I can't figure out why. If it doesn't rattle in my old RX, why does it rattle here? It is driving me crazy. However, my brakes are more of a concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCB Posted February 1, 2006 Share Posted February 1, 2006 I think I have rear rattle now. Is there a TSB report on this issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyg Posted February 6, 2006 Share Posted February 6, 2006 I think I have rear rattle now. Is there a TSB report on this issue? When does it rattle? Is it a rattle or is it a creaking type of noise? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky2 Posted February 10, 2006 Author Share Posted February 10, 2006 Definately a rattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedyg Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Definately a rattle. If it's easily reproducible, take it to the dealer. I had a rattle once that was in one of the plastic brackets that hold up the tonneau cover. The dealer said it was a loose bolt and fixed it.

Janet Gainey Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I have a rattling sound coming from my Bruno unoccupied lift. The rattle is only when the lift is up (no scooter). And when the scooter is on the lift (lift down) no rattling. This has been happening these past few months. No sound when installed in 9/2021. I took it back to the Mobility Works installer and they said there is nothing wrong. I took it to the dealer- and they said it is not coming from anywhere in the Ford Escape Titanium bought new. All these articles refer to rattling so maybe you can help me figure this out. Online there is a link about heavy duty anti-rattle stabilizer. Is this what I need? Thank You Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
