rattle sound at dashboard

[rey_man001]

hi,

would like know what could be the reason for the rattle sound i experience with my car during driving at an un-even road, speed is 20 - 40 kph. The sound is coming from the dashboard - at the passenger airbag.

thanks in advance for your inputs.

How old naba car mo? kasi maraming plastic clips yan na maaaring loose na or sira na, hirap hanapin yan pero konting tuyaga lang pag nakita mo naman sarap ng pakiramdam at job well done.

do you store anything in there??? First thing I'd try is to take off the materials ie plastic panels and such and see if that'll make a difference. Might be your AC vents, too... More likely something just came loose... What car a re you driving anyways? Japanese cars are prone to rattles and squeaks especially in the interior...

hhhmmm, bago pa ah... Covered pa ng warranty yan di ba? If so I think pwede mo yang ireklamo sa dealer, at least that's what I would do...

almost all new honda citys have this problem. not sure kung may fix na ang casa for this.

already bring my unit to Honda Cars Makati....but they were not able to solve the problem...

Hindi kaya may mga nalaglag ka lang sa mga gilid-gilid/sulok-sulok ng sasakyan like coins, etc.? Ako kasi dati, medyo madalas ganyan.

dapat dyan baklas ang dashboard. yung mga casa tamad sila sa ganyang work. time consuming kasi at di sila kikita dyan.

that dashboard rattle, on any brand of car, is a pain in the butt. I also had that on my previous car.

It's either you live with it, or ipabaklas mo yung dash mo at lagyan ng kung ano-anong pads or reinforcements(?) para walang rattle. But just like what Wakin said, it's a PITA ang mag baklas at magbuo ng dashboard.

that has been the problem of honda city 2004, 2005 and 2006.

when we procured ours, the salesman said that such problem had been addressed at the plant, but in less than 6 weeks, there came the rattling of our honda city 2006 at. the salesman said that they (honda-shaw) will remedy the problem by doing some insulation work when we have our 1,000km check-up.

will update you sakali kung sakali maayos ng honda-shaw (which is kasama lang din naman honda sa makati, pasig at alabang). kung di maayos, we may have to live with it.

this defect, coupled with other defects (minor man o hindi), proves honda's poor worksmaship. kaya di na me nagrerekomenda ng honda sa mga kaibigan ko. nakakahiya. these defects should be affecting honda's sales.

How 'bout speaking with either a supervisor or a manager? Sorry I just don't trust salesmen as much... They are trained to make you hand over your wallet and that's about it...

update regarding rattle on my dashboard....honda makati were able to solve the problem ...it's almost 1-week since i bring my unit there and so far the rattle is no longer present...i just don't know what remedy they do with my unit...

Sana inalam mo ang remedy. So in case the problem returns when you are already off warranty, you'll know what to do.

And para ma-share mo din sa ibang owners.

I'm quite sure it'll come back... unless they did the same fix that I did...

If it's just some styrofoam it'll come back guaranteed...

What did you do psylocke?
