I also have this ratle. Started @ around 8000 miles. Anyone taken it to the dealer yet???????????

 

mine rattles since the temps plummeted. oh well. it's a cheap car and it should rattle. hell we still don;t get cabin filters. so as I was told, live with it or pad it

 

Same rattles here. The most persistent/annoying is the upper left corner of the dash where it meets the driver's side door, especially when it's cold and the heat is on. I have others, too.

I am one of those that are highly annoyed by rattles and will contact my dealer about it prior to bringing it in for my 10k service (very very soon...)

 

There IS a service bulletin out on the rattle and my dash is being felted as I type.

I'll let you know if it helps.

 

Pls post identifying TSB info please - you'll be helping everyone!
Your dealer can provide it.

 

My clicking noise sounds more from the cowl area. Like a piece of ice tapping against the windshield. Its defiantly not ice as its all melted on my car and I checked the cowl. But its a clicking noise right against the windshield and it doesn't happen all the time.

 

pretty much what mine does. oh yea, my xB1 does the same thing but form the top of the windshield. oh well...

 

I've had my Scion xD since Sept. 2008. Not long after getting it, the vibration in the dash started. I have had it to the dealer several times but by the time it gets there, the vibration stops and they can't find it. They have been more than helpful but can't fix what they can't find. The latest mechanic checked on Scion's website to see if anyone else had reported this problem and said he found nothing, so this morning, I wrote to Scion and had them document this vibration. If all of you that are experiencing this problem would get in contact with Scion, and they are very nice to deal with, and tell them what is happening, a recall may be in order and this annoying, and I mean very annoying vibration may be able to get fixed. Thanks and please contact Scion and let them know what's happening for all our sakes. Go to:www.scion.com and you can either talk to an online tech, or phone or email. I've dealt with them before and they are very pleasant to work with.

 

I'll do that - nice, thanks!

 

only rattles i get are from my 12" dual coil....

 

I've had this problem almost since we've owned the car. Toyota dealership can't find what's causing the vibration because the car won't cooperate when we take it in. Report it to www.scion.com. The more reports they get on it, the more chance we have of a recall to fix the problem.

 

i got my vibration near my lower right windshield, only vibrates on mid-hard acceleration



but i could live with it =]

 

I've gotten the dash rattle now too actually. While I was driving (bad move I know) I pulled off the top of the waterfall and the rattling still occurred. So its not the vents making the noise. Wish I had someone in the car with me to take the dash apart while I drive

 

ILL TAKE IT APART!!!!

 

hmmm this is weird... i've kept it at over 4,000 RPM today as a test with my system off. no rattles. did i get lucky?

 

You wana?

 

hi guys, had the same problem 6 mons after got car. been following this post for awhile to find the rattle in the dash that goes away when push on top.I tried some of the suggestion from other post but was still getting rattle.was able to investigate further today and may have found what is causing it. the rattle is cause by the vibration between the windshield defroster vent and the dash that surround the vent, especially the corner of the farthest left and right vent. was easily able to push vent away from the dash and place some foam between the two pieces on the L and R side and no more rattle. hope this help other.

 

Get a room, you two!

 

He's a bit young for me

 

Do, I've got a bit of a dash rattle... seems to be a bit to the left of the center vents, maybe the right-most part of the instrument cluster. I pulled the top of the waterfall off, but couldn't see much. There's already a bit of white padding material in there... but I think the rattle is further back. I'll have to take another look when I have more time.
