Does anyone else have annoying noises coming from their 3008s?

I have a slight squeak, the sound of plastic rubbing against plastic coming from somewhere beneath the steering wheel. It happens on smooth as well as rough roads and is not there all the time. Not easy to investigate while driving and I can’t replicate the noise by prodding when stationary.

I have another squeaky noise coming from the rear when the rear seats are laid flat but I think this must be the leather rubbing.

Nothing yet from mine.
But while changing rear indicator bulbs for LEDs I dropped 10mm spanner down inside of boot cavity so may be a rattle soon?

The only sound I have found comes from the roof area when driving over uneven road surfaces. It could be the electric roof blind.

Nothing so far, the rviews I watched and read all commended the quality of the interior. Personally I really do focus in on any noise from the car.

 

[Fontie]

No unusual noises in mine either.

Sponge! :nono:

Lol
I'll tie a piece of strong to spanner if I have to go in there again.
It's the worst rear light cluster access ever.

I had the same noise from back seats when I had my mountain bike in the back, it was the seats rubbing as it stopped when I laid a towel down on the back seats before dropping them ?

I had a high pitched wheezing sound, like air escaping a balloon, somewhere around the driver area - intermittent and probably aircon related (and it definitely wasn't me!) but I haven't noticed it on my recent drives.

I also feel minor vibration and knocking on the driver floor if I keep my foot flat on the mat and wondered if it's suspension related or perhaps a loose inspection panel flapping. Nothing serious (I hope) but does detract from an otherwise refined ride. Wind noise and tyre roar is pretty minimal, much better than the QQ.

I don't think there are any inspection panels. It's not an airbus

Possibly it's the heatshield knocking.. I'd definately get it looked at.

Haha! I haven't had chance to get a good look underneath, but I had similar on a Mazda and it had plastic panels under the car to protect it from corrosion, one of which came loose.

Good idea, I had sussed that out for my next trip with the rear seats down. :thumb:

There was a discussion on similar noise under passenger side or driver side -depending on the market, in here and also some other french forums. It seems this noise is a common issue caused by a plastic cover underneath which is not properly fixed (as per french forum)

 

[stuart.bush]

Nothing, Whisper quiet so far.

 

[shamilt1]

Nothing on mine. Only rattle I heard was in the back but armrest was down and one of my nippers hadn't closed the ski hatch properly.

Yes, there's a large amount of plastic under the car!

Yes, wind noise from the wing mirrors. It's a design fault, because I've heard several testers mention it as well.

Mine goes into the dealer on 5 June to get the thumping in the footwell sorted. Seems like a production line issue, which is a shame and makes the German brand fans say "told you so!". Tiny little things like this can change perception.
