Super annoying rattle/vibration in the dash!?

daytonaturbo · 04-09-2008, 03:32 AM

Over the past couple weeks, my 07 coupe had developed a very annoying rattle / vibration in the dash. Above 30mph you start to hear it vibrating. Sounds like it's comming from either the middle or the passenger side front of the dash. On the highway, for the couple seconds in betweens songs on the cd it's all I hear. Plus embarrasing to have a civic with 8000 miles on it that vibrates worse than my 87 Daytona! It's obviously just some plastic vibrating in the dash somewhere, but it's driving me crazy....

Will the dealer do anything about it or do I have to try and deal with it myself? I haven't tried getting someone in the passenger seat to feel around there yet to see if we can find what's vibrating yet.

Take it in they will claim "Unable to replicate". Unless you get a tech to go on a test drive with you. That's what I had to do after they test drove it like 3 times and said they couldn't hear anything.

Thanks went in today, will come back and take the tech for a ride tomorrow before leaving the car there for them to look at.

I have a rattle like that too. I get new rattles here and there and most of them go away, but there is one dang obnoxious rattle that will not quit. Sounds like a bee buzzing in a can, coming from somewhere around the front right speaker(touching the windshield).

I only hear it in between songs as well. God forbid I turn the radio off... I think I'd lose it.

Same here, speaker area is what it sounds like to me. Took the tech for a ride and he could not hear it, I could tho. However roads around town here are much smoother than the highway about 1/2 hour away where I do most of my driving. I'm going to have to find a section of road where I can take the tech down where the vibration is much more noticeable.

Same problem for me, had it since 1xxx km, now @ 2700km ish

Car was made in Jan 08 if it matters. TSB anyone?
