I was waiting for someone to start this thread. I did not want to be first, because I was afraid that as soon as I started posting my rattles would return.
0-600 Driver's door, passenger door, dash, and rear driver's door rattles were my constant companion.
600- Dash rattle still visits from time to time. Driver's door rattles only with unusually high bass. (Used to rattle from uneven road surfaces. No longer does.
I hope that when I hit 900 miles none of the rattles returns or gets worse.

wow, like my first 20 posts to this site involved me bitching about my rattles. But I hadn't even thought of them until this post, they are completely gone now. (5500 miles)

I only have 400 miles so far, and I just started getting a rattle in the passenger side of the dash this week. It comes and goes, so I'm hoping it will just go away in time. Sometimes that happens, if you're lucky...

Lots of my rattles come and go. Different songs, different levels of road noise, different conditions. It doesnt mean the rattles are not there. Another thing I noticed is that rolling down the windows makes the rattles go away sometimes even after you have rolled them back up. You think they are gone...but they ALWAYS come back.

In Kansas we get many different conditions in a short period of time. Bathing suit one day, pants the next, etc.
Anyway, I have noticed repeatedly different rattles and squeks depending on the temperature and humidity. I think that's what we're all dealing with.

Hmmm, as a prospective TSX buyer, I sure don't like the sound (no pun intended) of all of these problems with rattles. That is one thing I thought I wouldn't have to worry about since my mothers '02 TL is and always has been absolutely rattle-free.

Rattles
Rattles...hmmmm
My 2004 TSX has some rattles.. like many of you have stated ..it comes and goes...many factors can cause the rattles or squeaks... humidity..temp, fat girl in passenger seat...etc...
The TSX handling is superb... but the ride is sometimes bone jarring.... but this is due to the tight suspension needed for that "superb" handling....
And I wouldn't buy 2003 TL...it's ugly and has poor perfomance. I was offered a new 2003 TL Type-s for $28,500 but turned it down bought my new TSX.
It's not a Bimmer..but it's the best deal for it's reasonable $$.
It sure beats my BMW (bust my wallet) 325 in service costs.
2004 Blackhawk /parchment interior .

I have a rattle in my rear deck. Actually it's more like a buzzing sound. I have no idea how to get rid of it, but it comes and goes. I have music on 99% of the time so I don't really care. Every car I've ever had has had a rattle and the rattle in my TSX is miniscule compared to some others I've had in my previous cars.

I wish my rattles would disappear, instead they just keep adding up, new voices and intruments are added almost daily to my symphony of rattles, and I've only got 7,000 miles. I can't wait until 50K!

Thats because you're a heroin addict.
