AFAIK, no bulletin, but most have confirmed it's the DRL relay module rattling...

I have a dash rattle as well. Just started a few months ago and it's coming from the left side of the steering wheel, behind the storage compartment. If I open the up and push up against the top of the compartment, it usually stops, but if I let go... it will start "buzzing" a few seconds after that. It's really starting to (removed) me off (when I don't have my stereo cranked up that is). Anyone else have this issue or any suggestions for me to fix it???

My dash rattle is from the top left , about where the light sensor is . It's not the sensor, becuase I took that out, made no difference, so I put it back. Seems to only happne when cold, so hasn't been a problem much lately. Can get it to stop if I push down on the leading edge of the dash, right by the windshield in the left corner.I will probably take it in to a dealer to get it fixed before the warranty runs out.

So far we only have 1300 miles on the car. After we put on a few more miles on it we plan to have the dealer care for that noise and any other things that come up. So far that noise is the only complaint.

Good luck. Had my car @ the dealer 3 times for rattles. The last time I took the service guy on the road, he acknolwedged them, and I STILL got the car back with "NPF: NO PROBLEM FOUND" or "UNABLE TO REPRODUCE CUSTOMER CONCERN" bullsh*t on it...

We've got one as well, though it seems to originate from the right side of the dash and only when accelerating. Haven't really investigated it yet, but will probably get it checked out when I have the alignment issue taken care of.

If you have a mysterious "dash" rattle and can't locate the source, check the map lights in the rear-view mirror.

i've become quite adept at my 'kung-fu dash smack' accuracy.i find a quick jab or an upper-cut to specific locations does a good job of fixing rattles...

Sometimes the rattle is from the silver trim around the gauges
