Thread: Rattle on the Front Passenger Side

I have noticed a rattle at the front of the passenger side of my 2010. It isn't always there, but I do notice it a bit more when I am accelerating and at a higher speed... any ideas or help?

I had the same issue.
Do you have the side makers installed?

Yes.

Ok I'll post soon on how to hopefully fix the issue. I just fixed mine because the dealer thinks I'm hearing things or at least I hope I fixed the issue.

Sounds great. Thanks.

Ok here we go...

So you want to have plenty of zip-ties handy like 10-15. So when you lift up your hood on the far right side there is a small crevice near the side of the car. Put you hand in there but be careful there may be sharp objects. Try to feel two wires one of them will be the side marker wire. And the other is the washer fluid wire. Zip tie both of those separately to what I have shown on the picture. (One top one on the bottom) Don't zip tie them too tight because you want to allow room for small movement and also if it freezes expansion and contraction of the tubing. I also just for safe measure for the left side marker wire zip-tied it loosely to the overflow tube for the engine coolant. On the right side the dealer installed that marker wire properly by tying it down into areas and not having so much slack. I only use one zip tie to tie down to the light housing wire just in case. If you have any questions just reply to the thread. Also on the third pic look at the top thats where the wires lead out.

Hope this helps.

Thank you. I will have to take a few minutes and take a peek under there... I hope it works out too!

***Update***

Today I drove with the radio off at freeway speed and guess what... ALMOST no sound. It was great to hear no rattling or very little of it.

I had the same issue. Took it to the dealer twice and they couldnt find anything. Turns out for me it was the overhead lights (my boyfriend discovered it while I was driving). Clicked them on and off and it went away....but it continues to come back. Im going to bring it up to the dealer when I take it in for my next maintenance.

I never worry about rattles unless they are accompanied by shakes and rolls. Seriously, this could be the culprit.

Which reminds me, do you know how to drive a baby buggy?

Tickle his feet.
