Rattling Is Coming Back in Pillars, Cant Find Source
It's driving me insane. So much, I want to get rid of my car. If you ride with the radio off or turned down and windows up, it sounds like someone is tapping on the metal somewhere on both sides of the car. It's SO annoying. Once you hear it, you can't stop listening to it which results in me turning the radio up loud and rolling windows down which pisses my wife off.
Its on both sides, in the side pillar behind drivers head. HELP! |
oh boy mine is starting to creak again on inclines. I had the last fix done too they told us it was a fix.
|
From my understanding is the panoramic roof issue. I would ensure that the most recent fix was done.
|
I have a rattle too in the same place but it goes away if I close the sun shade
|
The bulletin is jtb00002. I had it done now it seems to be a creaking noise not a popping noise when I make a turn at slow speeds or on inclined driveway at a angle.

rattle
I have two rattles, one is rear passenger belt tensioner the other seems like the rear sun roof.
Been to dealer numerous times, they fix, it comes back. Have a tooth pick stuck in the front over drivers head to get rid of cracklin noise they can never seem to fix. Not bad for a $70k car to have to stick a tooth pick in the headliner to get rid of noise. On my second dealer already. This one not much better then the first. Overall, Jag service is really lacking. |
Does everybody that's having the new creaking problem have a 2011? SWB or LWB? I wonder if there is commonality of the cars getting the "fix" and this issue coming up afterward.
XJCat, where do you put your toothpick? It might be helpful to the OP to see if it's the same problem. |
After fixing last month from my dealer everything quiet.
Lets wait and see(hear)! Uwe |
rattles
I have a swb.
I have the toothpick inserted on the side of the small plastic rectangle that is in the headliner right above the drivers left ear. I am not sure what it is, maybe a microphone. |
2011 xj L my car. Is a replacement , so it's my 2nd jag and the noise not as bad is slowly coming back, time to trade it in for a Maserati.

Regretfully I have to report mine is coming back to after the "fix all". Nowhere near as bad but it's there. Have to bring my car in for 15,000 check up and have them look at it.

you must be my twin brother the same exact thing is going on with mine.

Just went to the dealer today. They told me that the panoramic roof on 2011 XJ's have been recalled due to the creaking noise. They said it's a 6 hour project. I'm scheduled for next week. I'll let y'all know how well it works.

Sorry for the delayed response.
No. It is still not fixed. It has gotten worse. The whole car rattles, squeaks, creaks... And quite frankly, I hate my car right now. I feel like I bought a Kia. Every bump. Every turn. Every pot hole. When I drive up the ramp to my parking spot, it sounds like the car is going to fall apart. I am seriously thinking about eating rid of it. Two vehicles, same damn issues on both. My main screen continues to black out. My BT won't sync. I mean, take your pick. If there really is a recall for the roof, I am curious to see the bulletin as I want to drop my car off for a month and let them try one more time to fix it before I drive it into a river - that's how pissed this makes me. |
My 2011 was bought back. The 2012 has been rock-solid.
