Rattles, Buzzing, and Other Noises
Posted: Wed Jun 13, 2012 5:07 pm
I'm trying to figure out whether I'm just being overly sensitive /paranoid/picky, or if this is entirely normal. I've never owned a brand new car before, so I don't know what to expect, but I seem to be experiencing quite a few creaks, rattles, and buzzing noises in my Kizashi recently. For example, the front driver and passenger windows rattle a little as if they were loose, something in the sunroof is causing a definitive rattle (maybe the visor?), there seems to be a "clunking" noise anytime I go over bigger bumps in the road, and the whole dash sounds like it's loose whenever I go over potholes or when I change lanes and the wheels hit those reflectors that mark the lanes...just to name some of what I'm hearing.
I'm concerned because I keep reading other people who write that their Kizashi's are "rock solid" and that they don't hear any creaks or rattles at all...on Kizashi's that have way more miles than I do. Right now, I'm not experiencing the same solidness that they seem to.
I realize that over time and use, every car will start experiencing these noises, but is it normal for a car with 12,000 miles to be having these? Or am I just over-scrutinizing?
