It's difficult to help you pinpoint it without being there. Can you have someone else drive and sit in back and check it out? You might have some small stone or item rattling around in a storage bin? You could have a messed up gasket somewhere that the dealer needs to fix for you..

I had a similar problem in a previous car...sometimes the hardware holding the spare tire loosens up and rattles...check that stuff out to make sure it's tight.

Yeah, I think I hear the same thing. When the rear wheels go over a bump, it sounds like the hatch is loose or something. I'm going to go check the spare to make sure everything is secure in there, maybe that's the problem. Otherwise, maybe the latch on the hatch is loose/faulty?

I'm having the same problem. I believe it is the jack rattling around back there. Anyone else have this problem or a solution to it? The jack does not fit tightly in it's compartment so every time you hit a bump it rattles. I tried stuffing a towel in there and that helped a little but I'm looking for a better fix.

I hear the same sound when I go over bumps. My license plate is secure, though. I bet it's the jack or spare tire...will have to mess with it.

I just tore my trunk apart looking for a rattle. It occurred after bumps in the road and shutting the back doors. Drove me crazy! Turned out to be the Left Tail light. It was loose. I tightened the bolt under the hatch light in the access cavity and now NO NOISE. Sweet! Hope this helps.

That is great information, thanks for posting, I'll check that out. My jack was rattling around and I secured it by wrapping it in some foam wrap so it fits tighter, but I still hear quite a bit of noise. The rock hard rear suspension really jolts the crap out of everythign back there, and the last noisy item that I encountered was the rear hatch (see rear hatch noise thread). The hatch actually seems to come loose sometimes in this cold weather, but a good shot of white lithium grease seems to solve the problem, be sure not to use runny spray like WD-40 because it won't be a long term solution, and it stinks, and it will run everywhere. I'll check the taillights later and hopefully I can get this vehicle to be quiet!

Loose tow hook? There have been a couple times where my back hatch hasn't closed tightly, but the door ajar indicator stays on.Have someone ride back there and home in on it.

That rear hatch is driving me nuts. It's -30C here and that stupid thing just will not close, I sprayed a ton of white lithium grease in there and it hasn't really solved the problem. My concern is that you really have to slam the hell out of it to get it to close, and I don't want to damage it. Someone here mentioned that they had their service dept. make an "adjustment" and now it works fine. Is this something I should mention to my service dept. to see if they can fix it, or is everyone in cold climates experiencing this? Is there anyone out there in cold temperatures NOT having trouble with the rear hatch latch? Is so, then I'm going to assume that my probelm is not normal. Or, if everyone is having this problem then I guess I'll just live with it until it warms up.

Re: hatch closing difficultyThis could be caused by hardening of the weatherstripping in cold weather. Since it is not very flexible, it may take much more force to compress when closing the hatch. The dealer must have simply adjusted the strike/catch on the rear hatch outwards to reduce the effort needed to compress the weatherstripping.
