I have my first rattle in the dash that started today. My car only has 250 miles on
it, and it rattled the whole way to work this morning.
It sounds like its coming from the passenger side of the dash, but as everyone has
said, it could be traveling from somewhere else.
I can't hear it when I have music playing in the car, which is good. But as soon
as you turn the volume down, you can hear the rattle.
And its not like it only happens on rough or bumpy roads either. Any slight body flex, and
I hear it.
I will have to have someone sit in the car with me, drive it, and have the person
press on things that the rattle might be coming from, and see if that will stop it. At
least that way, I can pin-point the problem.
I have to agree that for the money, this is the most cheaply put together car I have
ever had, with more rattles, buzzes, and pops, of any car that I have owned.
But, when you add in the fact that when I come to a stop, and tromp the pedal
down, and get sideways in the street from smoking the tires without having to power
brake the car, all of those rattles, buzzes and pops just kind of fade away, and they
are replaced by a smile on my face!!
