Default Rattle noise new NX

I collected the new NX. However, there is an occasional noise from the cabin rear / tailgate (not sure the exact area) while on bumpy road. The noise something like plastic stuff crashing each other, not too loud but I can hear it as the cabin is quiet after window closed. I checked every area as much as I could, however, I cannot exactly find out where the noise from, seems like the plastic under the boot close to the battery somewhere.


anyone else have experience on the occasional rear rattle from new NX?

mine is rattle somewhere on the rear passenger side. I’ll let them check it out when I take it in for the 5k miles service. (Only 900 miles on the vehicle now)

Happens to me as well. I think it comes from the end of the front seat belt. It is just poor design..

I could hear a buzzing that was coming from the rear passenger's door. I was in the front passenger seat and every time it started, I was able to reach around and press on the interior panel to stop if for a minute or so. Will address at the first service visit.

Default 2022 New NX rattle sound from poor exhaust heat shield assembly

Heat shield did not fix well ,can be hit each other .



Check this area, and shake the shield metal panel. You will surprise it create many kind noises. The noise will pass through the exhaust pipe to any where you feel like the sources from.

It might also be the bracket/trim around the rear plate
