Who else's G drives them crazy with plasticky snaps, crackles and pops?

Aside from the rear centre speaker and housing that makes an unnecessary noise every time you cross a perpendicular ridge on the road, the rest all seem to be dash, centre console and instrument cluster related.

Are there known cures for the most common ones? The lacklustre service from the stealerships means there is no hope they will do anything about them.

 

Mine's pretty much just the rear speaker grill...

One of these days I'm gonna look at it myself.

 

pretty much do what the dealership would do, Isolate where it is coming from, then jam a felt pad in it.

my roof lining near the rear sunroof always makes a sound when i hit some bumps. sounds like tape or something trying to stick together. pretty annoying especially since ive only been driving this car for a few months.

 

My headliner does the same thing, has since I picked it up new, Dealer is supposed to fix it when I come in to change my oil supposedly

 

I have the 10 speaker Bose studio on wheels. If my car is making ANY noises... I don't hear them.

 

do you ever have conversations with your passengers in the car?

mine squeaks, rattles, creaks in the center console, passenger door area, dash, and rear parcel with the Bose speaker. drives me bananas.

 

when I come in to change my oil supposedly

 

Rarely have passengers. When I do, I don't notice any rattles or squeaks aside from when I lean on the console.

 

ya, the center console is the annoying. i can press on mine and it creaks everytime.

 

No issues. I must be lucky. Did take in car today for radio snap, crackle and pop while on AM band and hitting a bump in road.

 

my console makes noise when you push on the chrome trim on the drivers side, but never while driving so I don't worry about it. My only complaint is the headliner, If it wasn't such a pain to pull I'd just take it down myself and cover it in some dynomat.

 

I had that after a week i bought the car. Took it back to the dealer and they ripped the headliner off and put some insulation in. Haven't made a creak there since. Just everywhere else now. lol

 

Glad to know they can at least fix the headliner. It's disappointing to hear that a luxury car maker has so many rattles and squeaks.

I had a Toyota Tundra limited before the G, 33" E rated BFG TA KO's and leveling shocks/spring pack made the interior rattle quite a bit from the stiff ride. Those little felt pads work wonders though. It's tough sometimes to isolate where it is coming from, but when you do, tear it apart and stick a few on the contact spots and it's nice and quiet again.

If mine starts making a lot of noises after a while I'll probably wind up making a project of it and sound deadening the car using MLV and CLD titles:

Squeaks and rattles are pretty common in almost all cars these days...with the use of more plastics over the last 30 years it's almost impossible to be 100% squeak or rattle free.
Almost every car I have had in the last 20-25 years has had some sort of squeak or rattle. Didn't matter if the car cost $20k or $50k.
About the only cars I have not heard squeaks or rattles in have been my parent's Mercedes...neither of they're cars have any squeaks or rattles.
