Car Rattling Noise (Dashboard Area)
Hey guys. I just noticed that my car dashboard/console area is making a small crackling noise, mainly when I accelerate and hit bumps. I thought it may be related to my front speakers also. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if they found a fix. Thanks.

I got that option free of charge as well. They must have given me the perpetual option, because new ones keep coming as time pass.

Mhhh oh so they say I'm telling you crank up the radio and forget about it. Dash rattles are very hard to fix. It might disappear for a few days but if you ever hit something hard on the road like a pothole or even a ripple on the road rattles comes right back. Been there done that M G coupe had the same rattle also the glove box and the headliner and the rear right panel. Panel was fix for a few months but it came back it all came back.

Definitely a feature of having an Infiniti. Isn't it wonderful? Aside from the terrible 7AT programming, it was the #1 reason for warranty visits. Started with the dash, then turned into rattles in the driver door, then the rear shelf, followed by a spring in the horn button, followed by creaks near the shifter. All within the first 6 months.
However, the dealer was always willing to work their hardest to fix those noises, and they did a pretty good job. They never complained about it either. |
Check the battery, the battery mount in my car was loose and it was making a cricket like chirping sound, so look into that.
|
It's not horrible, just loud enough that I hear it mainly on bumps. Like Glennp said I just crank up my stereo :D But is there a way to put like insulation where it makes noise?
|
For clarification, it's the center console and places where the chrome trim is next to the leather.

Center console creak here as well. It's annoying as hell. Someone had a solution to fixing it, but it involved dis-assembly of the whole center console. Sounded like a pain in the ***.

^^ This is exactly why many cars creak these days, leather has been replaced by rubbery vinyl or plastic. Get into an older car that had real leather, usually the only squeaks are from the suspension or worn springs in the seats not the console or dash.
|
Cars with stiff suspensions, large wheels and UHP tires tend to grow more rattles than the same car with a softer suspension and tires.
This is certainly true comparing my 6MT to my xS. The xS has basically no rattles after 4 years and 24K miles. The 6MT has several after 2 years and 19K miles. Greg |
