Popping Sound from Tailgate
I have noticed off and on this popping sound coming from the tailgate area. Seems to only happen when I turn slowly or go over bumps fairly slow. Has anyone experienced this? It doesn't pop when travelling down a regular road and speed limit. Anyone figured out how to fix this?

I have recently started experiencing the same. I am currently removing my luggage compartment accessories (secueing belt, net, etc) and trying to identify where the sound comes from. I just removed the belt and sound is considerably less. Maybe try checking all your storage compartments for.something. that's moving around.

It is an accessory that you buy separately and attaches to the integrated rails.in the trunk(I think they only.come.with some.kind of storage package). Maybe you don't have them, but was trying to point out that you should.start removing things from back there. I will personally sit in the trunk and have someone else drive one of these days as the popping is still present.

Have you checked both compartments at the side of rear cargo area? Or under the deck flap. I have a 3rd row, so I've got minimal storage in there...but maybe something is rolling around? My lock nut key was originally back there and I'd hear it roll left/right when turning.

Yes. I checked both of them and the luggage compartment. Nothing that was making noise. It has to do with the hitch I believe. Just trying to find a clear way to remedy the problem.

Are these popping sound loud or soft? Do you have a video?
I get creaks when I go over speed bumps or uneven roads and it is due to the chassis flexing by the door area. Dealer tried to fix it by applying felt tape but it didn't help. From my experience this is very common with most BMW's

In this kind of car there should be no creaks allowed. If possible I will put a complaint and hopefully will get it done or will fight for a buy back. Mine is all the time I am getting annoyed.

Hi guys.
I had this problem for couple of days now. Before I didn't have problems. I lowered my X5 with front Eibach pro kit and back with coding to same level as front. After two weeks of driving some noise started to come from the back. The noise was present almost all the time when the road was not so good. I figured it was coming from the drivers back side. It was really annoying. I called my dealer and drove the car to service. The car was there for whole day and they did not find what is wrong. While I was driving from my dealer home I called a guy who is mostly doing car body work. I went to his place and he started to empty most of the trunk stuff. All the side plastics and also lowered back seats. We went for a ride and he was sitting in the trunk. The noise was really coming from the back drivers side. And now the solution to my problem. When we opened trunk there are two plastics on corners from each side of the trunk. So two on the trunk and two on the body of the car. The problem was that on drivers side when the car was moving also trunk moved a bit and two plastics were rubbing on each other. You could see really small marks on plastic pieces. The piece on the car body has inside torx screw. When my guy released torx a bit he moved this plastic piece little and screwed torx back. And annoying sound disapeared. I also sprayed some silicone spray on all four plastic pieces. Small thing but really annoying sound when driving. If you have questions I am here. |

I just had a similar issue. It drove me crazy for over a month. After removing anything loose back there, I began to narrow down the possible causes myself, eliminating the obvious. Next, with my wife driving, I sat in the backseat and truck area to pin point the location. In my case, it was coming from the right (passenger side) corner just above the removable panel, though I could not say whether it was the side or the tailgate door. I took it to the dealer. They had the technician ride in the backseat with me while I drove so he could hear the noise. The guy heard it immediately and said he knew what to do. He did. In my case they removed all the back panels and insulated/buffered everything. The noise is gone.
I admit I didn't have high expectations when I brought it in based on previous experiences with Acura, but I am pleasantly surprised and love my car again. |

check your metal hooks. if not secured properly the click and knock on bumps or driving over curbs into driveways.

Hi guys.
Try to find someone to help you with this. It's simple if you know what are you doing. The main thing in my case was that plastic was rubbing on plastic while driving. I could hear it more while cornering and bumpy road. |
