My '05 has developed an interior squeak/chirp type of noise/sound. It happens while driving over bumps. It sounds as if it's coming from the rear or passenger side area of the cabin. Anyone else have this similar squeak/chirp/rattle ?
Thanks

 

oh yes, thought every car had them ...

 

check the middle seat belt tensioner in the back seat ... i have that chirping noise in my 07 TL-S and thats where its coming from...very annoying sound

 

Thanks, I'll take a look at it in the morning and let you know if it's the same noise. Are you able to duplicate the noise by doing it yourself? Were you able to do anything to resolve/eliminate it?

 

runninlow3 - any update?

the only way i was able to stop the noise was to pull the seat belt out as far as it could go ... that stopped it

my dealer said "its a natural characteristic of the car" ... i will be going back to fight them on that

 

Tell them that you want to see another NEW tl on the lot with that rattle. That'll show that you mean business. Also call acura client services and tell them of your experience.

 

Thanks, I'll try to pull the seat belt all the way out and see what happens. The problem is that this 'squeak' has only been happening whenever I'm alone and hard for me to resolve while I'm driving. Strangely enough, it usually happens when I'm driving on the highway, if I go over any small bumps or as the suspension travels up and down due to the bumps or imperfections in the road.
Thanks for asking and I'll be more than happy to give you an update.

 

you may also want to try playing some music with heavy bass in it ... if you hear that chirping noise ... try pulling the middle seat belt all the way out and see if it stops
