Anyone experiencing a slight dash rattle in their 2019+?  Feels/sounds like its coming from the centre around the defrost vent or possibly the sunglass holder but I doubt its that piece.  I'm having a hard time pinpointing where it is exactly coming from.

 

The rattle has basically come out of no where, no noticeable rattle/sounds prior to the last few weeks.  It is winter now and it is damn cold up here in Canadian prairies, but other than being parked outside during work day its parked in a heated garage the rest of the time.  I suppose it could be the cold, but like I  said i can still hear it when driving to work after pulling out of the garage after driving for 20-25mins

 

Anyone dealing with the same or hearing the same and able to tell me where it is coming from/the fix?

Yea I have a rattle in that same area.  I tried to locate it by putting pressure on different parts of the dash with no luck.  It changes with different temps as some days there is no rattle at all.

Mine was in the dash as well and I took it into the dealership and they had to relocate the transmission harness because they have had a few T1s with this issue. He also stated that a couple of the screws holding down the center console were loose and he put loctite on them so they wouldn’t  come back out. Haven’t heard any rattles from dash since.

Yeah exactly the same, have not been able to pinpoint it, and it comes and goes based on temperature it seems.  Makes me wonder if its simply just expansion vs contraction of the plastics

Not sure the trans harness would be my issue, but the screws would make sense.  I'll have to see what the dealership thinks, and I may just wait until it gets worse (hopefully not) before taking it in to ensure they actually can fix it and not give the "couldnt replicate what your talking about"

That’s why I drove when I got to the dealership and took him for a ride. I went over ever d@mn pot-hole and railroad track I could find. He noticed it and I told them don’t give it back till it’s fixed. They took about a week.

Its related to cold temps.  I could duplicate it by pressing in a certain area of the defrost grill to the left of the light sensor. Somedays it would make the noise and other days no noise at all.   There is a 7mm head screw located under there that can be removed and it will lessen the noise.  I removed the screws one at a time and retested. I think it was one just to the left of the light sensor.  My noise was more of a creaking/etching type noise

This is my fear lol.  Thinking this might be happening to me in the near future.  In process of getting the wife a new car, so after that this becomes my next priority.

This makes sense to me.  To clarify, popping out the defrost grille and the screws beneath is what you are referring to?

Its more of a plastic on plastic etching noise and yes, below the grill

Mine seems to happen in relation to the engine.  Doesn't really happen when idling then it happens a little gets worse around 1000-1500 RMP then goes away.  But not always.  It's very random but annoying!

Yours might be related to the wire harness or the fuel/evap lines contacting the floor pan.  There is a pi available for this concern

What is a pi? And where can I find the harness or the lines?

Ever figure it out?

I have a slight vib/rattle to the right of center dash. It only does it just coming off idle and only when it's first started.  After about 3 to 5 minutes it goes away.  Idle no rattle, light throttle input rattle, RPM goes above 1000 and it's goes away.  I don't get the vibration on deceleration passing said RPM range only when accelerating.  Makes me wonder if it's exhaust related and once heated tolerances change enough to make it go away.

My wife's 2023 Chevy 1500 is making this awfully annoying rattling sound. Coming from the center of her dashboard sounds like middle dashboard inside. She has a full bumper to bumper warranty but chevy says to open the dash it will be $1500. Anyone have any help for us?

I had a rattle that I thought was coming from the centre of the dash or a piece of nearby trim.

Turned out the drivers side sun visor was against the clip, but not snapped into the clip...

      Ac not keeping up

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By bluev8 · Posted

      That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
