I have a rattle within the instrument cluster area that seems to be getting worse. I hear a click/rattle on nearly every bump. Also, I sometimes have a rattle around the passenger side of the dash, around the airbag. In addition I hear a rubbing sound when my manual transmission is in 1st, 3rd or 5th gear. It is caused by the shifter rubbing against the plastic casing around the shifter. I've had these problems since I bought the car last October, over 12,000 miles ago.
I've brought the car in to have these noises looked at, but they were not able to replicate anything. That was several months ago. I'm going to bring the car back in, and tell them not to give it back to me until the probelms are resolved.

Some years ago I had a car (Ford Taurus) with a dash rattle. The dealer could never hear it. Big frustration. One Sunday morning I went over to the dealer and drove around the nearby streets until I could duplicate the rattle. Next time I brought it in I took the mechanic down "rattle street." He heard it, the dash was replaced and all was well. If they can't hear it, they can't fix it. Some road surfaces bring out rattles more than others.

Yeah...road surfaces have a lot to do with it. Unfortunately, I live in Kansas City, which by far away has the worst roads of anywhere I have ever been, in the state ranked #1 for the worst roads in America. You darn near need an all-terrain vehicle to live here. I almost moved to the Virgin Islands, and their roads weren't this bad. Anyone that lives here or knows the place knows what I am talking about.

To everyone who has the rattle that sounds like it's coming from the passenger airbag, take out the passenger vent and see if it goes away. I traced mine back to the vent.

My dash was rattling until the weather turned really hot, when, for the most part, the rattles stopped. Now that the weather has cooled off, the dash sounds worse than ever, making all sorts of squeeks, crackles and rattles, from end to end and everywhere in between. I'm going to have to take it to the dealer.

one night my boyfriend and i went out with another couple and me and the other girl sat in the backseat(not without alot of arguing from me to my boyfriend) and i heard a rattle type sound coming from the back, around the back glass area. It might be the back "dash" where the speakers are or from the speakers themselves maybe? I don't really know...it was hard to focus on the rattle w/ 3 other people in the car but i've been meaning to check that one out.

That sounds just like the area my annoying rattle was coming from. Maybe you could ask your dealer to check it on your next service visit for the seat belt assembly. My rattle is gone, and that was the problem. I hated that rattle! I'm soooo glad it's gone!

I have a rattle that seems to be coming from the right air vent or right end of the dash. You can only hear it when you get up on the high way.

The only other thing is when I really get on it, the high rpms...something in the front driver dash area vibrates, and the driver sub-woofer speaker grill will vibrate as well.

I have a buzz at 4000-4500 rpms in 5th gear (going about 40mph). Happens in the trunk...on the passanger side. Almost sounds like metal vibrating. Only started when I installed the bassani's.
