I own a 2009 H3 suv since January, now 3500 miles on it.
Since I've got my vehicle, I have been struggling with popping noises.
It comes out when I make a sharp turn in both dirctions of right and left. The sounds comes from the floor(under the pedals), the rear(driver and passenger side), and passenger side front corner.
I have been visiting dealership over 5 times with no fix. They do the body mount stuff(tighten the bolts) and turn the torsion bars due a lower control arm hit the body. But still no fix. When I was in there last time, they start to act like they do not here any sound and that kind of sound is normal. But they give me a rent car, H3, and it does NOT make any sound like mine. So,I'm planning to visit another dealership.
Anyway, I have a question. Would you guys check that you hears some rattling sound after engaging side brake and then hit the side wall of rear tire (hitting the highest point of side wall)? I'm supecting the sound from the rear is from brake related parts or leaf springs.

 

I do not have that sound, but I have red on this forum stories of popping noises under the peddles. I read it was the steering column, well the joint at the bottom of the column.
I also read that these problems were on earlier H3s, like ending in the 2007 era, but you never know,this is why I love these forums, the people here sometimes know more than the dealers.
The nice thing is you have 3,500 miles on the car and lots of warranty left.

I'm not hoping that this is your problem, but if you do find out what the noise happens to be, could you post that here too.

Good luck.

 

Thanks, Chameleon. I will post it. and you don't have sound when you hit the side wall of rear tire???

 

I will appreciate if someone hit the side wall of the rear tire after parking the car before coming inside home. The noises are sooooooooooooo much annoying. I will get over it at this time!!!

 

So you are saying you engage the parking brake then get out of the H3 and hit either rear tire high in the sidewall and you get a noise?

Are you applying the parking brake, or is someone pressing the peddle of the brakes while you hit the rear tire sidewall?

 

Chamleon, it's the parking brake(=side brake). The word, 'side brake', is probably not used in US. Sorry about that. So, I'm saying that you engage the parking brake and then hit the sidewall.

 

Wow, if I hit the side wall I'll go flying, I'm not going to move anything enough to hear a noise.

I'll try it and let you know.

 

haha, I mean hit the side wall of rear tire by your hand.
