flapping plastic or metal noise from rear

Hi,

Has anyone had a noise comming from the rear of the TL that sounds like a flapping piece of plastc or metal bouncing up and down against something whenever they drive on rough roads ? Any guesses on possible causes ? Loose muffler perhaps ?

Thanks

it could be carbon deposits or loose particles in ur cat. converter. other than that all i can think of is loose exhaust pipes or something came loose on ur rear supsension. you should get it checked out at a dealership or get it on a lift and inspect it yourself
