Hello Scotty and team, I've been having this issue for quite some time now but it seems the issue is getting worse. When I accelerate from 0-60, I can most of the time hear a vibrating silent rattling noise coming from the bottom of my feet. It doesn't occur when I'm slow going into the acceleration, but for the times i'm on the highway and need to hit the gas I usually end up hearing it every single time. Sometimes it's a quiet medium vibration I feel and other times it's very aggressive. It scares me on the road sometimes. I don't want to go to the dealership and have them trick me into paying thousands of dollars for maybe a simple fix. I just have no clue on what the issue could be because I don't have any warning lights on. Any suggestions on what this could be? My friend said check the transmission fluid, and he also said he could be a lot of things but told me to check that first. I'm seriously willing to drive to come see you about this.
Things that could cause a rattle that I'd check -
- plastic panels that they put on the bottom of the car
- loose heat shields on the exhaust system
- slop in your driveshaft u-joints
- bad motor or transmission mounts
But check the trans fluid first anyway if you haven't done that recently
Okay thank you so much! I will go to my local mechanic and see if he can check these things out! I also added some transmission fluid, it was indeed low, but The vibrating rattling noise hasn't stopped. Sorry i'm late replying!
