    Engine/Transmission Rattling sound at Cruising speed

    OK so final update. Car was at the dealer yesterday morning. Side note: I heard some of the guys mentioning that the part was not new, but 'taken' from another car in their lot, cause the delay (due to the backorder) would have been too long. Cannot confirm this, neither do I care as long as it...

    Engine/Transmission Rattling sound at Cruising speed

    I have been too busy to get the car in until now (was on an extended vacation and used another vehicule). But car is at Dealership this morning. Got the Mechanic's Supervisor for a road test and he acknowledged the issue. He is confident it is the Transfer Box (I may be misquoting here, but I...

    Thanks for your reply. I will have it checked as it wasn't present before. But since this is a reapeatable 'issue' I will have the mechanic accompany me for a ride (well, i'll let him drive) so that I have confirmation if this is an issue, or my imagination.

    Engine/Transmission Rattling sound at Cruising speed

    Update Nope, the surprising, rather concerning vibration felt under the car has not come back. But a new issue surfaced. Since they tinkered with it less than a month ago, I noticed that when taking a sharp turn while accelerating, the car vibrates. Again, I am such a dummy when it comes to...

    Engine/Transmission Rattling sound at Cruising speed

    They couldn't find anything. On the Work Order, I can read that they tightened a loose motor mount bolt. Was this the cause of the issue? Or was this the ploy they used to get Mazda to pay the Diagnostics. Time will tell. Since this issue happened only 4-5 times in the last two months, I will...

    Engine/Transmission Rattling sound at Cruising speed

    UPDATE Sorry if this sounds as my own personal little thread, but I want to fill you up with all details to help me pin-point this. So the Techs were apparently taking this very seriously. They did a few miles of road testing to no avail. The issue did not come back. They put it on the lift...

    Engine/Transmission Rattling sound at Cruising speed

    Well, I can't really rule it out, but it would surprise me. If indeed it was an unbalanced tire, due to a lost weight or not, then the problem would be persistant and indeed at a certain frequency (speed), it would re-appear most of the time. Unfortunately, this problem is not easily...

    Engine/Transmission Rattling sound at Cruising speed

    New poster here. Need assistance. (I did try to look up for my issue before posting and I could no find something close enough to my issue. So here it goes.) We have purchased a new CX-9 about a month ago. On a long trip recently, after a few hours of driving (engine was warm, conditions were...
