Asked by Guru9KJ6SZ Apr 25, 2022 at 10:15 PM about the 2012 Mazda MAZDA3

Question type: General

I'm not the original owner, have had car nearly a year.  Love it, but have
heard a rattling noise I thought came from the spare tire.  My mechanic
checked that and nothing loose.  He drove it around and still nothing he can
figure.  He did mention the possibility of a loose baffle in the gas tank.  Has
anyone had rattling going on?

I'm thinking a loose exhaust system heat shield or possibly a loose exhaust system hanger. Hope that helps! Jim
