Sounds like something is moving in trunk - Toyota Yaris Forums

AylaNamiz · 08-13-2012, 10:02 PM

I have tried all of these things. I actually removed the tire and everything in the trunk area and drove around and still heard the noise. It seems like it is coming from inside the back bumper somehow, like something is loose and sliding around in there. Anyone know what may have come loose?

Maybe have someone else stand outside the car and listen for the noise while you slowly drive by. It might be easier for them to hear where it's coming from.

I did that and also had someone sit in the back with the seats down while I drove around. Sounded like it was coming from the left of the bumper.

Did you by any chance swap your rear lights? I did and I lost a screw which is currently inside the bumper (and has been for at least a couple of years

).

I just bought the car, so maybe the previous owner did that because it definitely sounds like it is coming from inside the bumper. Dang.
