Like Michael Morris (Carsguide, 17/05/13) we also had rattle in our 2011 Holden Cruze SRI. It was in the rear and sounded like a shocker knock when on unmade roads with corrugations. On a trip to the Flinders Ranges I noticed it stopped when I lightly applied the brakes, so when we got to Broken Hill the dealer there had a look. It was found the rear calipers had too much play in their slides. I thought about taking it up with Holden direct because I believe it's an incorrect manufacturing tolerance. What do you think?
By all means take it up with Holden. If that's the cause of your rattle it should be fixed under warranty.
