Doors Making Noise

I have a 2003 G55, I have a question do any of you have noisy and rough rides?

Also my door is making noise on bumps, any solutions?

same here

gotta keep the music up just so i dont have to hear all the creaking. i called my dealer and he said it was normal. as for the bumpy drive, its the super-stiff suspension. very annoying on the freeway, but i like it on regular roads especially when i pull fast turns. the car just feels so damn stable. my big question is, how could they not address these things when producing this expensive *** car.

dont forget, we are still talking about the toughest, most original, most powerful SUV ever. and its a freakin' AMG Mercedes. Besides, the awesome sound of the engine drowns out any silly creaking. 100K anyday.

This is a very common occurrence in the G-Class. There is nothing wrong with your doors. The locking mechanism needs to be lubricated. The rattle that you are hearing is not the door it is the door lock. You local dealer has a special synthetic lubricant, which they can put on all 5-door locks. This will fix the problem. -Rob
