Everytime I passed by a rough / wavy roads, I hear thumping or knocking noise coming from under the car (rear). Sometimes on speedbumps too, if I go a little too fast. Could it be the toolbox I have in the car? But it sounds like it's coming from under the car (rear). I don't wanna take it to the dealer if it's normal.

Oh and also if I shift it from R to D, while it's slightly moving to the opposite direction, sometimes I hear the same knocking sound from the same area.

I remember some of you have the similar problem with the RSB or something?

Is my car falling apart or what?

take the tool box out and run it over bumps and see.

But I don't think sifting from R to D will shake the toolbox.

I havent heard any noise from there ever, but my driver side door does rattle along with the sun roof area. Its annoying and drives me insane some times

I hear this too but in the front. I'm not sure if it's the suspension of the car.

I get a weird jerk and knock but sound more like the engine.

If it's not broken I'm not going to fix it.

Just take it in, it's under warranty anyway...

Well, I have to close my eyes for the door and sunroof rattles.

Well, if it's a known problem or if it's normal, I don't wanna take it in, cause they'll keep it all day, I gotta work, and I dont' know what they did to it.

Now, why on earth would you shift it from R to D while your car is still in motion?

If you keep driving it like that your car will fall apart.

I dont do that when the car is like 5mph. When back up out from a spot, the car is slightly rolling and I put the car in drive and have no sounds. I did however put the car from R to D real quick while car was in motion and car jerks. Once, it even stalled and locked up (trying to backup before cars came to get over to other lane..stupid me)

So that I can trade mine with yours!

No, when it is slightly, very slightly moving.

Well, even when it stops, I shift to D, then slightly moved forward, it knocks sometimes.

***Punks_Not_Dead5*** · 05-28-2009, 11:32 AM

i shift from R to D when it's rolling very slowly...no sounds or jerks...like DC i did it once when it was rolling faster than normal and it just stalled out...but nothing more..

I guess our car can't do the J turn.

I've got a rattle that sounds like it's coming from the rear deck but the dealership says they can't hear it. Its been there since the car was new.

***Punks_Not_Dead5*** · 05-28-2009, 12:31 PM

it should work, Just when you slam it into drive keep the RPM's up so it doesn't stall out... will probably jerk really hard when you do though.

Pawel062 · 05-28-2009, 03:09 PM

the moon roof noise i know there is a recal for. the noise from back i would have that checked out gt-r. maybe have someone else drive with you to listen so u can pin point the noise.
