i'll try that as well. It seems to do it while driving on a rough road almost sounds like a buzzing kind of rattle.I just hate bringing up all these things up to the dealer. all they do is look at you and act as if you were being really anal about little problems like this.

The first time I noticed it I was able to pin point it to the buttons on the stearing wheel, they would rattle at a high rate that almost sounded like a buzz. Lately I've heard another noise that sounds like it is coming from inside the cluster.

Mine was solved by replacing the steering wheel and the airbag system. The mounts inside were causing the vibration and ratte.

Try holding the steering wheel buttons during the vibration if it goes away thats it !

Mine does the same thing... Dealer wrapped instrument cluster with felt. Did a botchy job in my opinion, since you can see the felt around the edges of the cluster... DID NOT SOLVE the problem! Still rattles now, even worse. You can stop it by pressing on the dash above the cluster. Very annoying. I also have the rear shelf rattle (not too annoying) and now I notice that my drivers side door lock is rattling going over bumps. It seems the lock pin is loose as I can rattle it and recreate the noise. The passenger lock is stiff.....Weird. I guess opening and closing the drivers door more often has rattled the drivers lock loose or something.

that was it the stupid buttons on the steering wheel are the cause. I simply held my finger over the buttons when the noise began. How can something so small be so anoying. Another one for my list.
