Strange issue with my Civic.

Hondasi15 · 04-30-2007, 05:57 PM

I have been noticing that after driving my car hard( really fast and breaking hard),when I come to a complete stop and put the car in park I hear a strange sound in my trunk. It sounds like something is moving inside the trunk or rolling around. Of course the weird part is there is nothing in my trunk.

Has anyone experienced this..or have any idea what the hell it is that im hearing?

Yey!!! finally. I noticed this too, but it's constant. Don't have to drive hard. When I stop and park, I hear something in my trunk rolling. My guess is that its gas in the tank.

Hah this thread reminds me of the last car I got. I bought an '02 eclipse used with about 4,000 miles on it. I thought I heard some noises but it was hard to tell because I usually had the stereo pretty loud. Anyhow after a week I investigated.. and found about a dozen golf balls bouncing around with my spare tire.

Hondasi15 · 04-30-2007, 07:43 PM

Its so Fing weird man...by the way I checked the spare area and didn't find anything

Sli(ks · 04-30-2007, 07:51 PM

Probably the gas just sloshing around in the tank.

Yup. When i pull my car in the garage i can hear it when i turn the car off..

and when i used to stall it

***GalaxyGreySi*** · 05-01-2007, 02:15 AM

It's definately gas sloshing in the tank. I have this problem too, but only when I have 7/8 or more of a tank of gas.

Eltrentz · 05-01-2007, 02:34 AM

Actually I think its the exhaust. Im not sure what it is, but if you listen closely, it starts from the middle of the car and goes back. It sounds like somethings rolling from the middle to the back. It just gets louder when its near the trunk area.

HondaFREAK · 05-01-2007, 04:39 AM

could be knocking against the hangers...or you bust the catalytic converter...happened to my jeep...sounded like metal rattling around.

KB798 · 05-01-2007, 05:46 AM

Is it towards the passenger side?

you cant hear your engine growling??

a10thunder · 05-01-2007, 01:18 PM

It's your rear shock. Read this thread.

knocking sound on 07 si

I had the same problem and it took me a while to pinpoint it. It seems to be widespread. Take your car to the dealer and have them replace the shock.

so if you drive from your house to work its ok but if you would say go autocrossing or something after your run you'd hear the noise?

dust0ut · 05-02-2007, 03:37 AM

have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the trunk monkey alarm?

i've noticed that too on my car... i don't have to be driving hard, just slowly reversing into my garage, there's a noise as if i hit something... or something's rolling around in the boot... but same case here, nothing's in the boot. (and i didn't hit anything :) )

aha! i guess this may also explain why the rear end of my car also bottoms out a great deal. i'll look into that thread. thanks for the heads up! +1
