Does this sound too familiar to you guys? I sware I felt I was on the Acura forum. Its amazing how this is a widespread issue and not just for our Acura TL's.

Doesn't surprise me at all, I am always dubious of people claiming that [insert car brand here] is rattle-free, as bad as the TLs supposedly are with rattles I doubt very much that G35s or other similarly-priced cars have significantly fewer instances of rattles

And for the record, no rattles here! Sounds to either be a hit or miss.. or a personal annoyance.

No rattles whatsoever. Well maybe just the stuff that in the side door pockets.

I wonder if maybe that is what some of these guys are hearing.

My brother has G35, and it is too rough due to wide and low tire profile. this car is not really for daily driving. I am not surprised it is getting rattles.

I got a little rattle in the sunroof that comes and goes when it is open going over bumps.......thats it, not a problem so far after a year and a half. No cabin rattle thank god. It's all about build quality. I guess i got lucky.

i wouldn't give a D* about rattles if i were to drive that car (G coupe) to tell you the truth. let it rattles. exhaust is loud enough already. it's a stiff sports coupe with low profiles. what do you expect. people who drive faster over bumps or what not tend to have more rattles quickly than "babied" cars.

mine TL doesn't have rattles ( i don't count a non-constant click here or there when i fly over bumps when police chased me). i am happy with that not that it means anything to ur situation. hit or miss, driving conditions or what not. i did once get a TL loaner that's full of rattles which i fixed them all in 30mins. i feel for all of you who got rattles that drive u nuts. rattles are not major problems. find some time to fix them urself if you would. do some search here u'll be surprised by the solutions posted here already. as for G owners....sorry. rev it up a bit.

All car forums are the same. The G35Driver community is pretty cool, actually...

acutally hearing has something to do with it too. (suprise!)

when I was in my last car, I can hear the rattles but my passenger cannot.

I had to point out where the rattles are coming from for my passenger find them.

If you can't hear the rattle in your TL, good for you! But it does not mean rest of us are one can short of a six-pack. Some people are just more sensitive to rattle noises.

so true.

the "car and driver" mag did mentioned the rattles in G35...

I agree. I haven't seen too many TL bashing threads on the site.

My buddy has a g35 coupe, it rattles like crazy.
My sister has an audi TT 3.2 S-line, it rattles a bit.
I have a Vette, it rattles less than the g35, more than the TT.
My TL rattles less than all.

I'm feeling good.

Huhh..... What did you say???
I couldn't hear you over all the rattles.

I just traded a 2003 G35 on my TL on Nov 18 and I can honestly say the G35 was rattle free the entire 2 years I owned it but in 700 miles on my TL I already have rattles coming from the rear deck! Are they major rattles (NO) but they are there!

i think they were talking about the harsh riding coupe there.

it's probably the seat belt retentioner thing for ur rattles. it's on the acura TSB. ez fix. u can diy if you want. do some search here and u'll find fixes for it. otherwise bring it back to dealer they'll know what to do. or PM me.

TJ acura

just found out u were right, thanks for the advice Tom
