Does anyone have a rattle coming from the center dash? - Scion FR-S Forum | Subaru BRZ Forum | Toyota 86 GT 86 Forum | AS1 Forum

If I apply two fingers worth of pressure just above the center AC vents on the dash it stops.

Anyone else? Its pretty maddening on the freeway.

Not here (thankfully!)

Its crazy to have a rattle with 120 miles on the car.

It happens. I would take it in if it is driving you nuts. Most likely its just a wire or something.

Compared to all my other subies this thing is actually built like a tank :/

I thought it was just me but I also started hearing rattling this morning as I accelerated. I'll try and pinpoint where it's really coming from if I can, later today.

If I apply pressure to my dash right above the vents pressing down from the wind sheild downward it stops.

Dude, you are on a roll!

First the condensation, now the rattle!

Reading about little quirks like this is the reason why my ass is waiting!

If you're waiting for stuff like rattles to go away, you'll never get the car!

RiskyTrousers · 06-04-2012, 01:07 PM

Yeah, I have a rattle as well. I pin pointed it to the AC controls. If I stick my hand in the little cell phone cubby underneath the AC controls and apply upwards pressure the rattle goes away.

Annoying but not a big deal, thats why we have a warranty!

I also have a very slight front bumper fitment issue. Where the bumper meets the fender at the headlight on the drivers side the bumper sticks out slightly and forms a little "shelf".

Will have both of these looked at by the dealer during my first service.

IMO they probably mandated tighter tolerances on everything.

SUB-FT86 · 06-04-2012, 04:22 PM

This is never a reason for me to not buy a car. My RSX rattles now and then but my car has bigger problems like a torqueless engine and FWD. Lol!

Symbiont · 06-04-2012, 04:32 PM

So far my BRZ is solid as a rock, and I even like the horn sound.

If anyone had doubts if this car was a Subaru or a Toyota, here's your answer.

Our Impreza WRX has rattles in the passenger door and somewhere in the dash and the center armrest wiggles around when you lean on it.
