We own a 2021 AWD MME. Just curious if anyone has any experience with a rattle originating from in the front dash area that occurs on semi-rough roads at fairly high speeds (40-70 MPH)? And what the fix might be. I did ask the dealer to resolve, along some other issues, but of course they couldn't duplicate it. In all honesty it is hard to duplicate as only occurs under special experiences (high speed-rough roads). So I thought would ask the forum if anyone else has experienced a similar issue and if they found a way to resolved it. The MME is typically so quite, it is really annoying.

I am also having a dash rattle issue - I sent a DM. I've had my vehicle to the dealership three times, had the service manager verify the noise on a ride and still no solution!

The noise seems to be coming from the drivers side dash on the left side of the steering wheel - seems to be in the vent area. Any help would be much appreciated!

I know this is an old thread but I just had a similar “dashboard” rattle on my 2021 MME. It ended up the rattle was caused by the driver side fender trim rattling at higher speeds due to broken retain clips.

The trim piece looked completely normal when stopped so it never occurred to me to check it.

Could you post a picture of the damaged clip? I have the same issue…

Rsvcc- I don’t have photos and there honestly wasn’t much to show. If you can pull on the wheel well trim and get any play then this could be your issue.

I have had a rattle coming from the right side of the dashboard right above the glove box and it is annoying. Dealer tried to fix it once only with leaving the rattle and a pry mark. Otherwise the hardware seems solid. Has anyone removed the dashboard top yet? The dealer appears to have removed the cloth covered grill piece but I would not want pry just anywhere.

When driving on older pavement I get a rattle coming from the driver's door. If I lay my hand down on the four window switches, it stops. The switches were recently replaced under warranty due to delamination but the rattle didn't go away. I haven't done anything about it because it's a faint rattle.
