I have a 2013 GS with the F-Sport trim, I get a rattle that can be heard riving over bumpy areas. Dealer told me that it is the disengaged parking brake on the rear wheels. Curious if others have experienced this?

My passenger side seatbelt rattles, so I just buckle it and the noise is gone. Not the best solution, but it works.

Has anyone been able to figure out the faint ticking/rattling from what sounds like is the B-pillar? I hear it on the driver side and a little bit on the passenger side. Only on rough/vibrating roads.

I think it's the adjustment lever for the seat belt on the b pillar. Mine ticks sometimes.

Got a rattle from the glove box. Same rattle in my wife's 3GS too. Anyone have a fix? I think it's the mechanism that closes the door.

I got the glove box rattles once in a while, seat belt rattle, and something near the dead pedal (tho this might be the V1 cable). Our 07 is250 rattled like crazy after a few years so I expect this car to not be much different...

No rattles, but a "tapping" sound from the rear left door. Feels like the adhesive is expanding/contracting from the temprature and makes a TAP! sound without fail everyday.

Imagine a coin being tapped at your rear window, annoying as *****!

If it is on the move that you hear the sound, could be the petrol cover .. apparently it's not lock when on the move .. adding some sound adsorbing material to cushion the impact would help.

Also check the plastic cover (rear) of the passengers seat mount. That was broken and produced quite a rattle in my car. Easily fixed though.

No solution, but I have the exact same thing. I think there's something inside the B pillar? I hear it on the passenger side too, but not as much.

I have it too...could not isolate. Only thing to affect it is rolling window down a fraction. One of these days i'll remove the door panel to find it...

I have it as well and my car only has 600 miles on it lol and I live down a dirt road so that doesn't really help.

I had no rattle until I hit about 2500 miles. It's coming from the passenger side. I think it's the entire seat. It seems to shake a lot... maybe I'm just being ****, but a car that almost cost $60k should be pretty silent.

My faint ticking or clicking sound comes from the driver exit assist handle. Sometimes I pull it down and move it right and left and it is fine for awhile. Sounds like a noisy spring.
