If when accelerating hard in 2nd gear, you get rattling sound, that is probably pre-ignition ping.
if it goes away wnen you back off slightly, then is it probably the guality of gas.
If you can not get premium gas, you can add gas line dryer alcohol, and that will raise octane.

But it could also be a rattle from the converter heat shield.

Hard to tell without seeing the car, but poor quality or low octane gasoline can cause an engine knock under hard acceleration or heavy load. This is called preignition and can cause major engine damage. Preignition can also be caused by incorrect ignition timing.

I have a 2009 Kia Rio automatic. Has 27,000 miles

you don't say whether it's diesel or petrol, If diesel it has a vacuum pump to give pedal assistance, these have a valve in the pump that can cause such a problem, if however it's petrol I would suspect a master cylinder fault. Regards Mike

Why does my car vibrate and noisy at red light and stop sign

My rio kia bought on from uyi technical dealer in benin city, edo state of nigeria only 4 months ago is vibrating with noise while driving. The noise is noticed by other road users even in motion, making a very loud noise or sound that is highly embarrassing. The dealer mechanics have checked more than twice yet no result, instead the hub bearing is observed; tyres are turn over yet the noise persists.

What do think is resolution to the problem? pls help me. Vinson- [email protected]
