OMG! That would be really annoying! Which country are you from and do you have excessively bumpy roads?
I would be taking it straight back to the dealer for a fix?

lol where do i start... unbearable rattle when towing anything, all trims in the door rattle. the plastic in font of the speedo rattles...

 

I get rattles in the dashboard, but only on certain roads, unfortunately it's the road to go to work on plus side it doesn't happen the whole way

 

They just don't build em' like they use to eh. it was one of the reasons i didn't take a loan to buy a MY13 Liberty. after being in the MY08 they just don't even come close. everything is cheap feeling. same thing happened to Honda after the 90's. profit profit profit.

 

I did have some minor rattles in the dash and front pillar, but my dealership fixed it as soon as I told them about it.

I haven't had any other sort of rattles like some of you have had...that would be so annoying!!

 

I read somewhere that sometimes the head rests can rattle when they are not pushed all the way down.... you might want to check that out. Its an easy fix, especially if its the passengers side that rattles. Good luck.

 

I must be one lucky bastard. My Impreza don't rattle, my XV don't rattle. Thank you Motor Image!

23500 km ..... no problems! Love my car!

 

I've only done just over 5,000 km in mine but I do not have any rattles or squeaks. My impreza was the same. Quite as a mouse in a house.

 

although i don't drive it that often, (only got 2,800 on the odo and i got blaze in june...), never got any squeaks or rattles on her. Echoing Arnolds statement...Thank you MotorImage. =)

The delay in the side mirror folding is the only "defect" that i have experienced so far, but i think that goes for everyone else anyway...

 

I have about 3600 miles on mine and no rattles that I can tell. The only problem I have is that the car pulls to the right on the freeway. I've tried it on a number of freeways and it pulls under power. When I release the gas, it doesn't seem to pull at all. It's going in to the dealer on friday.

 

Sounds like it just needs an alignment, not an issue with the car physically.

 

yeah, you're probably right. It's going in for the 1st oil change anyway so I'll have them check the alignment as well.

 

The tires are noisy at highway speeds, the wind noise around the side mirrors is annoying, the sun visors are cheesy and not long enough and don't fit around the oh **** handle properly and finally the side bolsters on the drivers seat need to be narrower. These are all minor issues that I will have solved soon. I do over 30k miles/year so the tires will be dead by next summer. The side mirrors should be a fairly easy molding project to come up with new covers that are more aero and I will probably add turn signal indicators while they're open. The visors will be an easy swap from some other car with better ones, probably a few junkyard visits to get that one solved. The seats I'm not so sure is going to be as easy as these other three but we'll see.

Overall though I absolutely love the car so far. It's easy to drive, generally quiet and squeak free inside, handles quite well for tall and narrow, is plenty nimble in tight traffic, doesn't care about road quality it just rolls right through whatever is in front of it and gets pretty reasonable mpg's.

^This, although I can live with those issues.

One thing I'm going to have my dealer address are the rear door panels...they rattle when I'm listening to music.

 

I'm not having any squeaks for tire noises, everything is fine so far but I do have an issue. I'm not sure if it's because it's new or what but after sitting overnight in the cold when I try to start it up in the morning it takes at least two tries to get the engine running. It's only happen twice and wasn't doing it right away but I'm hoping there's a way to fix this because it's kinda embarrassing when your car does that especially when it's brand new lol

 

Something not right there Brett! Give the dealer a call
BTW, how low does the temperature get to overnight there?

I have no real issues as such, got a couple of squeaks/ vibration noises only at certain speeds 80 - 100km/h, this will be addressed at the next service 3rd jan 13.
But there is one thing bothering me, I'm not sure if its just me but it appears that the drivers seat (electric) seems to be positioned closer to the centre of the car than the passenger seat is! I feel as thou my backside is sitting on the right hand side of the seat more so than when I'm in the passenger seat. I've measured the distance from the centre console to the seat on both and the drivers is about 1-2cm closer to the centre. I only say this as I'm noticing that the outer raised backside support is showing signs of wear on the leather more than the inside.
I've tried driving with my self centered on the seat and I am a little off centre to the steering wheel, as well as I feel slightly awkward when using the throttle pedal.
Has anyone else noticed this? Or is it just me and my driving position?

Forgot to mention I'm getting this looked at during the service, but don't want to seem like a dill, so thought I'd ask here

Not having noticed this, I have measured the positioning of my drivers seat compared with the passenger and mine is the EXACT same distance from both the console and the side door trims. I feel completely centred sitting behind the steering wheel column. So I don't know why yours is different. Maybe it is a Friday car? Lol
My only thought is that maybe your problem is somehow related to the seats being quite narrow with minimal side support. ?

I was actually thinking the same thing... I thought I was crazy haha but I guess not! I feel like I sit farther to the right in my seat and I try to reposition myself but always manage to end up in the same spot.

No issues on mine, except for the rattling passenger-side headrest which I have sorted out by pushing in properly. Almost at my first 10k km service now.

 

I've just crossed the 2k mile mark, and on the way to work my oil light came on. Pulled into work, checked the oil. It was a full quart low! Has anybody else experienced this?

There is a thread on this:

Everyone should check their oil no matter how new or recently serviced the car is. If it runs low it could damage your engine...?

Went to the dealer today. They said its the characteristic of the boxer motor. Big G, out in the states the oil should be readily available. I had a good 7 quarts left over from when I left my last job as a mechanic. And that was just extras sitting in my toolbox. Should be synthetic 0W-20. A very lightweight oil which would explain the loss. Used for better mpg's or rather a higher cost to change oil properly lol

Gavoons or Gugs did you discuss with service dept?

 

So do I - its bloody annoying since I have had it back to the dealer twice - still rattles occasionally on the right side - will take it back a third time.
