psucaptainkickass Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Holy crap...this is AMAZING! I am going to have this taken care of. Should I remove the boost gauge from the cubby before going? Just for "They might fcuk it up" purposes...? Oh and should I just print this out...go to the dealer, and kind of slam it on the desk... I'll be like...I am here for this <SLAM>..hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew.anderson Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 ;1033531']In the "What's New" section of techinfo.subaru.com they've just added a TSB on 02/28/07 with the title: "Rattle/Squeak Noise from Instrument Panel."

SpeedNeeder Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I've got a rattle coming from the Driver side vent, would this be the fix? I am lucky, I have both! If I press down on the middle of the top of the dash, the one in the middle of the dash goes away, but I can't stop the one that seems to be coming from the driver's vent (I think actually between the dash and door). My other car is a 1993 Chevy S-10 Tahoe! (Currently being driven to failure by my nephew) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On my '05, this rattle was due to broken clips on the panel that "caps" the end of the dashboard on the driver's side. The dealer just installed a new panel and no more rattle from there. The rest of the dashboard and b-pillar, however... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smkscrn Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I have the same rattle and am def. going to bring car to dealership... however, I am at 40k - this noise really wasnt prevelant since the last 8-10k, or since this cold winter has been around. Do you think they will charge me their normal labor fee to fix this?? OR - has anyone Post-warranty had this fixed yet by the dealer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTGT Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I feel like they could damage other things off the entire dash if they are not taking there time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabydanimal Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I had my car in for the rattle TSB. They ordered a few odds and ends, screws, tape, etc. After I picked it up no noise. Now that it's colder it's definitely making the same rattle, although not quite as often. Grrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have that same rattle. The one by the driver's side vent. What dealer did you go to? I am also in the Detroit area. I can never get my dealer to take anything I come in with seriously. Or they can't reproduce it. At this point I'm just fed up going to this dealer who plays off any issue I have with my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are awesome - no matter how small an issue I have had, they have taken care of it. And I've had a lot of issues... My rattle was the "cap" on the left (driver's) end of the dashboard (it is called the "driver side instrument panel side cover in the service manual) - if it is loose, the clips have broken and the piece needs to be replaced. Hope this helps! -Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomasTX Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I had the drivers side vent rattle noise too but got it fixed. I took the car in for service and asked them to fix it at lease on 3 different services and every time, they would tell me they couldn't hear it. The last time they said 4 different people drove my car including 2 service reps, the service manager and the regional manager and none heard it. I found a temporary solution to the problem by sticking a sock between the door and the drivers side vent and the rattle would go away. So I noticed that the vent was the cause of the rattle as it was loose and moved about. If the vent stopped moving, the rattle would go away. Next time i went to the stealership, i showed them that the vent was loose and that it was the cause of my problem and told them to put it back on tightly, somehow they put it back in place and when pushing on it with my finger it wouldn't move...problem solved. It took me more than 15,000 to get that SOB problem fixed. Just tell your service rep that your vent is loose, show them how it moves and say it rattles. The fix was covered under warranty. If they don't fix it go to a different shop. In the mean time you might want to try the sock method. Before closing the door, place the sock by the vent so when the door closes, the vent will be gently held in place and won't rattle. RIP rattle.

GTTuner Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I feel like they could damage other things off the entire dash if they are not taking there time. Same here, I'd bet you'll end up with other rattles after. Don't take it to a flat rate shop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCL28 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 By the way, I live in the Troy area. Dwyer and Sons is a bit of a drive for me, but if they get the job done... How can I say no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCL28 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Oh, I see. Mine isn't quite falling off, but there is a little play in movement. It moves a little when I touch it. The passenger side doesn't move at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malimx6 Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Hey guys, which dealer do you recommend in Detroit area? I went couple of times to the one in Troy and didn't like them. They never did anything. I took my car once to Hodges on Woodward and they were pretty nice, not perfect tho. Please tell me which one you guys would recommend? I really need a good dealer, and here in Canada they don't do sh!t! Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
