    Smile Rattle under the car when accelerating ..... hopefully solved.

    I bought this 2014 ES for my daughter's 2 weeks ago and been monkeying with car doing basic maintenance.

    I apologize if this has been discussed previously but I heard this rattling noise under the car during acceleration when I first drove the car and I figured it's just something is loose no big deal. The wife drove the car yesterday and the noise really bothered her (she's been driving a very quiet BMW i3) and told me to get rid noise asap.

    Got under the car today starting from the back tapping, shaking things and when I got under the steering rack I shook the 2 brake lines right above the steering rack and noticed them loose inside the metal bracket. I zipped tied both lines to the bracket to stop them from moving. When I did that I was not sure if it was the culprit but it seems like it fixed the problem. Hopefully the rattling noise is gone for good.

    Nice catch. Fummins will be proud, especially for brake lines.
