Why does my Nissan Rogue have a rattle?
The method I used is this: close the hatch, go inside the car and start hitting the trims carefully with your hand. You will find the points where the trim is touching the metal and causing noise. I have the same issue with the rattle in a 2010 Rogue 360. When I go over bumps, I got a rattle in the rear hatch area.
When does a car make a rattling noise?
You may hear them when you start your car, when you drive it or when you apply the brakes. They may occur only when the engine is cold, or when it’s fully warmed up. Rattles may happen only upon acceleration, deceleration, going over bumps, rounding a corner, or during some other specific set of circumstances.
What does it mean when your car door rattles?

What makes a rattle in the rear hatch?
FIY: this oil on your center console too!: I had a rattle in my rear hatch that sounded like loose change over bigger bumps and I turned the rubber bump stops a few turns to the left and it seems to have fixed it thus far.

What to do if your Nissan Frontier makes a ticking sound?
If the heat shield is loose, you’ll need to take your Frontier into a good exhaust shop and have it welded back into place. The good news is that a loose heat shield is never going to leave you broken down on the side of the road. If your exhaust system is leaking, it will often make an aggressive ticking sound.
