Is it just me or are these trucks home to endless rattles and sounds..... what the heck! With windows down they rattle or something in the doors rattle? Very annoying..... Bed sounds like its gonna fall off when going over very rough pop holed roads. Center console rattles all over place as well! its ridiculous. Are there any fixes to these noises. Makes me feel like I have a junky truck :( I love it other then all the noises it makes. seems a bit much. especially for being a new truck... :(

If it bothers you, cure one at a time. I had a squeaky door once, and it bugged me for a year. I just tightened one bolt in the door panel and it was gone. My 2010 is pretty much squeak free.

Truck shouldn't rattle. Mine doesn't. I'd take it to the dealer with a list for them to fix.

I've got almost 100,000 kms on my 2011 now. I have had a rattle in my dash since about 50,000. It's off and on, sometimes it's a couple months before I hear it, others it's every day. The dealer said it was the clips holding the AC line. It sounds like a buzzing noise. I think my loud exhaust vibrating doesn't help it either though. The dealer was never able to stop it, but he did make it a lot better than it used to be. I have noticed other rattles from the door and seat belt holder.

One of my doors rattled like crazy. The screw behind the handle was loose. Tightened it up and now it's pretty quiet. I hope to install some sound deadening in the doors this weekend to make it even quieter.

I have not rattles. I have one door hinge to grease after a long winter of salt and snow. :redxhitrf7:

The way I fix my rattles and squeaks, is I hit the right pedal and drown them out with the: intake gulping air sound, headers shreaking sound, and magnaflow deep rumble sound!

I'm still surprised at the build quality; not one rattle or squeak from our '12.

Mine was fine until I took it too the dealer to have the HVAC recall work done now I have a rattle somewhere behind where the gauges are. And what do you know, I get it back with two bolts laying on the floor. Bring it back and they put them back in(so they say). Still have the rattle though.:893Chainsaw-Smilie-

Anybody have a write on taking a part the dash. I've done center console and center bezel around the stereo, ac stuff but not around the drivers area.

I just hit 15,000 miles on my '12 & there's a rattle around the RF door that's driving me freakin nuts. Goes along with the whine from the tranny lines that has never gone away.

Check the screw behind the door handle. Mine was loose causing a lot of rattle. Tightened it up and the noise is gone.

Found my noise!! The big bolt on the bottom of the splash guard backed itself out. Easy enough fix to cure the rattle,but the paint behind is destroyed.
