Jingle in the back seat on passenger side?

Bad Anvil Garage · 11-17-2017, 04:28 PM

Anyone have a jingle type rattle (sounds like a small tambourine) coming from behind the rear seatback when going over bumps? I mentioned it at the dealer. They said there's a TSB on a rattle from back there and it requires gutting the whole back seat are and then welding some part of the frame to eliminate it. Some kind of flaw in the manufacturing... just wondering if anyone else has had to do this. I'm getting tired of the little hippie with the tambourine riding around with me everywhere.

Not positive, but I’m pretty sure they have to gut the back to prevent catching it on fire while welding. It would be nice to confirm that’s the exact noise the TSB is for before letting them weld on your car.

I have a passenger side jingle but I’m pretty sure it’s from the door or passenger seat though. It doesn’t always make the noise though, it happens on like 1 in 3 trips

Go back and recheck it I bet someone left a couple dollars change in the crack.

Ok, and now I also get a rattle from the decklid area.

Had my son in the back seat try to locate the jingling sound and he kept insisting it's coming from the passenger side area where the front seat belt is attaches by the B-pillar. Anyone else have this by now? Driving me NUTS but hate to go to the dealer and have them tell me they don't hear it... surely this has happened to someone else.

I like hearing my exhaust more then the radio so i just floor it if i hear a creek LOL

Seriously though.... it's pretty loud. Something is definitely loose somewhere. I was hoping it would be somewhat common and someone else got it solved so I wouldn't have to send the dealer mechanics on a snipe hunt.

I'm glad somebody brought this up. I have it too, but I wouldn't describe my noise as a jingle. More like a thin metallic vibration. Haven't bothered to trouble shoot it yet.
