Hi

I have a 2011 Nissan Maxima SV and have recently noticed a rattling noise coming from the brake/accelerator pedal area. It only seems to happen when the car is moving and the engine is at 1500-2000 RPM or when i'm driving over a rough patch of pavement. However the noise doesn't occur when the car is idle and I rev the engine. A cursory inspection hasn't found anything loose with the brake or accelerator pedals and I'm not sure what it could be. The car is only 2 weeks old so maybe this is normal as part of the break-in period?

If anyone could provide any insight it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You
Sam :)

Welcome to NICO.

It's best to take it back to the dealer for a test drive with their mechanic. Better have the problem diagnosed and repaired while under warranty.
