I've had my '08 since december and my passenger front door rattles and the bezel around the navigation screen creeks constantly! Very annoying! has anyone gotten the dealer to do something about these rattles?

I did have rattling noise coming from seatbelt height-adjuster on the passenger side. Reluctantly (after they tried the "oh, they all do that" bull****) the dealer changed the unit and fixed the problem.

The noise was actually difficult to identify, at first...just a vague passenger side rattle on certain road surfaces.

You can check by gently tapping the release on the top of the unit. If the springs underneath lack tension, this will cause the rattle.

Hope this helps someone

My 07x has a fast tapping noise coming from the dash or center console area. Can't tell exactly where though. The tapping comes and goes. I'll hear it for a day or two and then it dissappears for a week. Strange. The noise is reminiscent of the sound of the Hard Disk Drive spinning up in a PC during boot up...only louder. Kind of a random clicking.

My new 08 with 550 miles now has the rattle coming from the rear passenger side. Going in tomorrow morning for that, and whenever I put it into gear - i hear a clicking sound.

I unfortunately have the rattles too.

I've got one that sounds like the passenger side seatbelt, one that sounds like it is coming from behind the rear seat (passenger side) and one from dash.

These rattles happen when ever I'm on a rough road or at WOT with my Stillen intakes.

:-(

I have this same problem too.

I've had my '07 for almost a year and almost 21000 miles with one rattle that I thought was coming from the dash somewhere and couldn't locate it. I was about to take it in to the dealer because I had checked everything until I looked in the overhead sunglass holder and found an old pair of sunglasses I forgot I had put there. I took them out and no more rattle. You will be amazed at how sound can travel inside a car. That's why even dealers have hard times locating them. They had my daughter's '07 G35 Sport in the shop for 2 month's on the third time to find a noise that only happened when it was cold and the car was under exceleration. Finally an engineer from infinti came out after they had torn out the dash and most of the interior and he found something loose in a part of the heater I think. They were kind of vague on the fix. It is fixed though, and they seem to have done agood job putting it back together. she was ready to ask for a new car replacement, and they were considering it.

I get random creaks from the center console. I can reproduce these sounds easily by pressing(with a little pressure) on the center console(washi trim) with my fingers. Am I the only one? I was thinking the adhesive was poor or something.

My 08, has had rattling sounds if I am playing the SOW on the front drivers door. The rattle goes away when I open my drivers window. Once I close the window it goes away. On most days (65% of the time) I dont get the sound though

Headliner rattle fixed!

I popped out the rear driver's side vanity light and took off the garment handle. This allowed me enough space to push some soft egg crate style foam in the headliner through the light fixture hole. This fixed the rattling noise. FYI
