Rattling *tiak tiak tiak* sound from right side of dashboard
Ringoping:
Sometimes, I can hear rattling sound coming from the right side of the dashboard. This happens at D mode when the vehicle is stationary. When i switch to N, R or P when stationary, the sound disappears. When I move off, the sound disappears as well.
At first I thought the sound is caused by the vibration of my keys, belongings in my car, loose screw in the bonnet etc. But i checked myself and found nothing.
Any fellow bros and sis have similar experience? My 4AT sedan is 3.3 years old. :(

check your door pockets. the last time i heard this, i spent nearly a month wondering what was it. even the SA also dunno what happened.
out of despair, i took out everything in the car, and found out that it was the ratting sound of the CDs in my door pockets. -_-

my few months old had similar sound before, car rattles even when driving over slightly uneven grounds.
went back to TCM twice (left it there for 2 days on 2nd time) and was their engineers insulated the gaps between dashboard and side panel pieces; can see some "tape" thingy at the gaps of centre piece when look really close enough. was told sound was due to upholstery parts rubbing against each other when car "shakes". problem solved... for now.
i was like &$^#... new made in japan car also like that??? :glare:
try insulating the parts u think might be the cause

same as mine...had noise since 1st day...took almost 2yrs & many trips to TCM before rectify it but not 100%.....latio dashboard have a design problem...they come in a few pieces rather than a whole piece....but downside is that replacement of each piece is possible & cheaper....just ordered from TCM the top center console with the a/c vents for $65.70 exclude GST....some clips broke and it is not sitting firmly now.....dun know who broke it but I did sent back to TCM to complain abt noise from the same spot prior to me discovering the clips broke....
Ringoping:
Hmm.. But the funny thing is the sound came only when I engage D when stationary. If I switch to other modes I.e. N, R, P the sound disappear immediately. The rpm of all these modes stay the same. I seem to b inclined that the sound came from the engine.
I hope it isn't caused by my recent switch of engine oil to 5w50. Think I shall bring it to my workshop to check. Thanks for all the advice
