For a very long time I was hearing a rattle from my steering wheel on certain days. Come to find out it was my watch vibrating on my wrist lol

you guys with teh plastic rattle in the dash.


Try opening your glove box and seeing if the noise changes or go away. I had that issue, always thought it was in the center stack somehwere - but it kept changing. Then I got where I was driving on this one set of roads all the time and the noise got consistent. (same places, same speeds, etc etc). and one day the then finance me opened the glove box for something and the noise stopped.


My issue is in the latch, key hole for the glove box. I'm about 2 steps away from just taking the thing out all together.

Sorry to hear about that! Have you gotten this issue taken care of?

I have a rattle or clunk coming from under the back seat somewhere. Almost sounds like it's on the outside of the car. Happens when I go over hard dips in the pavement. Dealer said it was the rear tether on my kid's car seat hitting the subwoofer grille. It still makes the noise without the car seat in the car though. It's been happening since the first year I had the car. It's not the exhaust. It did it with the factory exhaust too. Seems to be worse when it's cold out.

It's a heavy sounding clunk or knock sound. I checked and tightened the rear sway bar links and bushes. I checked the bolts for the rear cradle and they're tight. The only possibilities I can think of now are if there's a bushing on top of the rear shock mount that gets loose when it's cold; if the gas tank is rattling, or if these cables for the parking brakes rattle in the collars they pass through by the gas tank.

^Check your heat shields under the car.

[SIX.OH!]

For what it's worth, if anyone is still trying to find a rattle/buzz around the center console, both of my G8s had a rattle there - it was the trim around the window switches in both cars. I put double-sided trim tape up under the trim where it hangs over the piece below it (if that makes any sense) - no more noise.

Also in my current G8, I had a rattle/buzz coming from the rear of the car somewhere at a certain rpm during semi-aggressive acceleration. I kept thinking it was under the car - checked heat shields, exhaust bolts, l kinds of stuff... finally realized it was actually coming from inside the car. Last night I found it - the rear passenger side "oh sh*t" handle (for lack of a better term). Can't figure out how to make it stop though. It inside the parts that rotate to make the handle pull down.

I found a quarter laying on top of the parking brake linkage once. Got down there through the gap in front of the console glove box. Still have a buzz that I can't find. While driving, with a load on the engine, it sounds like it's coming from the back seat.

I got the center console rattle somewhere too; I'll check the glove box and the cubby. On the B-pillar rattle going over bumps, I had this on both pass-side doors - it was the post on the latch for the door. Took it off and had it tack-welded to the plate, problem solved, easy fix!
