Just wondering if anyone else's ILX have a rattling sound. I've heard it from the glovebox area, the passenger door, the rear, the roof, the cupholder, and it's always random where the sound is. I brought it to the dealer 4 times now. They heard a sound from the glovebox area the first time. When I got my car back, I immediately heard something again but the sound conveniently disappeared when I test drove with the technician. The third time, we heard a clicking rattle from the rear. The car played nice the fourth time...of course now, the rattling is back with a vengeance.

I have driven my car a little over 3 years now with just about 21,000 miles on it. I'm glad I still have warranty on it and the dealer is willing to try and fix this rattle, but I've about had it with this nuisance. It's a bit embarrassing to have all this noise when I have passengers in the car, not to mention it's so annoying to be able to hear it over the road noise.

Do rattles develop this quickly?

 

I had small rattles, but they were all the cause of little items in my glove box, or compartments. Once removed, those noises go away. I did also have a rattling noise from the speakers from the driver side, but my dealership took care of that issue at no cost to me. I have about 17K on my 2016 Acura ILX Tech Plus, and I even have a 600W RMS Sub in my trunk with an amplifier, and I get no rattles even when I play music with heavy bass that really vibrates the car. Only thing that vibrates is the trunk, but you can't hear that over the music, especially at those volumes.
