Has anyone had rattles when driving?

I sometimes get them on the passenger front door and on the dashboard at the of where the instrument gauges are.

Yeah, it sounds like there's plastic noise around the dashboard. Once I move around the steering wheel for a while, it goes away.

Stuck in the same boat. I'm hearing one from the drivers door and some creaking from what seems to be the air vents when going over some bumpy roads. + the center console/stack creaks non-stop whenever I have a drink in the cup holder...and a little bit without. So annoying...

Although Nissan knows how to create a beautiful interior, they obviously cant figure out a way to make it stay solid and creakless.

Mine is just the opposite, not one rattle, my past G's had numerous rattles right from the start, this '07 is really quiet!

I had a rattle that was driving me crazy. When I was driving it was coming from the passenger side and when I was sitting in the passenger seat it seemed to be coming from the drivers side. Turned out to be my sun glasses in the over head holder. No more rattles .

I have one that drives me crazy, happens when I'm on the freeway or accelerating hard. It seems to come from the rear deck.

if you hear rattles coming from the door areas it might be your vents. try spraying some graphite (lock ease) or other lubricant along the sides. be careful about overspray, however.

2 months no rattles.
except rear glass, determined that ice buildup on base of the glass caused it to creek, rear defroster took care of that!
