2 days and already a rattle!!!

So I have had my 2011 for all of 2 days and already the dash is rattling like crazy. It is coming from the the spedo and tach area. I love everything about the car but **** seriously, only 2 days?!?!?!

That's what the warranty is for.

Yeah.
It usually gets better.
Seriously, that is why you need to establish a relationship with a service dept. you can trust.
The real problem is that quite often you get some monkey breaking stuff.
This does not have to happen.
It does take some time on your part to find the right people.

It takes about 2 minutes to pull the speedo cluster out. I would pull it out myself and see if a wiring harness or connector came loose and is rubbing against something ...

Nah, if it is still a problem after they "fix" it then take it back, what else are you going to do?

Don't do this, that will only give them an excuse not to do warranty work on it when you can't fix it.

**** that sucks...but im sure they will fix it like new...might even be better then factory fit (there having to get it done in time as it goes down the line) where your dealership will be able to take time fixing it for you...

ps: saw your car posted in grabber blue forum...very nice,you really loaded it up...

Thank you, will have to wait a few days to get it in the shop since I only have days to find a place to live. I hate getting into a new base.
