Im bringing my car in to get checkout next friday so some rattling noises i've noticed when driving slow speeds under 30 mph. When the road isn't smooth and has small bumps or what not theres a rattling noise which sounds like its coming from possibly my passenger seat or somewhere in that area could also be the back seat not 100% sure where. But i have noticed that it doesn't do it if i have someone in the seat. Also the same thing when going under 30 mph there's another rattle on the driver side somewhere which i believe is coming from the front area maybe around the shocks or strut area. Hopefully they can figure it out, i can live with the cracking noise from the cheap material on the dash but the other rattling issue i can't. Yes i can turn the radio up but when i have my child in the backseat sleeping that isn't an option, and hearing that rattle irritates the hell outta me lol since i cant mute it out or ignore it no matter how hard i try. Hopefully some of ya'll experienced the same thing gotten yours fixed and I can pass that info to my SA.

Check if your passenger seat belt is rattling against the pillar. That usually causes a rattle in my car and I simply drape it over the edge of passenger seat.

Yea i just tried and looked at it, it's definitely not the seat belt i grabbed it and held it and ran over a few bumps in the road and the rattle is still there.

Have you checked for a lose object(s) in the door storage pockets?

I had a noise like this, but it only happened when the passenger seat was at its highest

Interesting i'll check and see what setting the seat is at. I wonder what the rattling noise is that sounds like its coming from the front driver side tire area

Can you bring someone along with you, so he or she can help you pinpoint the source of the rattle while you drive. 4 ears are better than 2.

So true. Years ago, I had this nagging rattle in my car. Took the car to dealer who couldn't find anything wrong. Then one day I was complaining about it to a friend of mine, who suddenly asked me to stop the car. He got out, picked up the child seat and put it in the boot. We started driving and there was no rattle. Turned out it was the friction between child seat and car seat.
