Optima Creaks/rattles

sohjeb · 03-03-2005, 01:24 AM

My Optima seems to have an abundance of creaks and various noises coming from the car. It's REALLY starting to get on my nerves now. I've taken it to the dealer twice so far, and they haven't been really able to fix is. They fixed the creaking and the rattling coming from the rear deck for while, but it came back. 2nd time nothing seemed to have been fixed, despite leaving my car there for the entire day.

Basically, I'm wondering if any other Optima owners are experiencing these noises, and if so, what have you done to try and fix it. Any help would be appreciated. I really do like the car, and it's only 4 months old, so I'm planning on having it for a while.

Hmm. I might just have to take it to another dealer then. Hopefully they will be able to help me out. Thanks for the replies =).

This car is only noisy during hard acceleration or above 150kph. I got some squaeking sound when clearing hump after upgrading my rear speaker.

Goodness - it was caused by the mechanic who removed the rear seat for access and did not put back the little cushion pad on the hooks behind the rear seat. Not sure if that's the cause for you.
