#1 of 7 Dash Rattle on 07 Sonata by effect18 Dec 24, 2007 (7:33 pm)
Over the last month my 07 Sonata Ltd. has been experiencing dash rattle on the driver side. It was really cold a week or so, then I began hearing it. Whenever I go over a bump, or uneven pavement I can hear the dash rattle. Its quite noticable, anyone else have this issue and can I get the dealer to fix it... or will they say it doesnt affect performance?   My wife is also experiencing the same thing with her 07 Elantra..... any suggestions?

I'll be out there in the morning with screwdrivewr in hand, let me know how you make out.

Replying to: lmaxick (Dec 28, 2007 9:44 pm) I have an '07 Limited and had my sun visors on both sides replaced. Reason: They became excessively tight/stuck and were hard to move. Apparently, you should not swing them too far in towards the windshield (sounds weird I know). And I discovered this one fine evening when I was removing my sun shade before starting up and driving back from work. (P.S. - I live in Dallas, TX. It's warm here more often than not... and sunny too) When I swung them back towards the ceiling back in place where they belong, I heard this god awful "cranking" sound. I immediately visited my dealer and came to know that the swivel joints were stripped. Long story short: they were replaced under warranty at no charge. But prior to this whole episode, yes I also had the sun visor rattle as well. Perhaps someone out on the board here knows of a method to lube these joints to prevent what I went through.

Replying to: effect18 (Dec 24, 2007 7:33 pm) Did you get the dash rattle fixed?   I have also noticed an intermittent rattle in my 07 Sonata - which is annoying. I am trying to locate/eliminate the rattle by placing rubber spacers between the dash and windshield - but no luck so far. SO it must be something loose inside the dash. Will probe later when I have more time.   The dash rattle does not affect car performance - just your ears. Other than that, the car is a joy to drive.
