I’ve got a rattle that’s going to bother me until it’s fixed. I hear it over good sized bumps like potholes and manhole covers. sort of a buzzy rattle noise that comes from the passenger side of the dashboard. Anyone else?
figured I’d update this for anyone experiencing the same noise. Buzzy rattle sound behind the dash over bumps? Well, it was getting worse. Brought it in for my first oil change and asked them to fix it. That was 3 weeks ago. Here’s what it looks like now…

Waiting for an upper dash assembly. What they found was a plastic weld that had separated. Dealer has been great. @Ford does not seem to care about customer satisfaction. Tech support the dealer was using made them wait days for each next step of the dio. Once they figured it out I’m told 10+ days for the part. Longest I’ve ever had any car in for service.

I have the dash rattle. But then again mines a rattle box. 2K miles all 4 doors rattle and the dash rattles. Drives me absolutely insane.

I do not. They explained it to me over the phone. Showed up on day they were closed to look at my poor truck covered in sea gull shit.

I can't tell exactly where it's coming from but it sounds like the passenger side dash area. I need to have someone else drive so I can sit there and figure it out.
Under the hood. There are small clips holding black piece attached to windshield. Lifted up. You’ll see a black plastic piece that is LOOSE. That rattle is what you hear inside the cabin passenger side. It’s not inside the cabin. But you hear it like it was ;)

Ford released a TSB for the Upper Dash Assembly rattle. Glad I was the guinea pig.

still working on my rattle at idle in drive. I pulled the dash apart on the pass side and believe the rattle is on the other side of the firewall. have been playing with heatshields and such under the truck. I believe the rattle is somewhere in that area. Can't quite pinpoint it yet

has anyone found this TSB?
Try sending Tomikazie a direct message. I haven't seen a TSB, and the last TSB published on NHTSA was January 8, 2025.

If you are going to these extents, someone mentioned earlier about something being near the windshield cowling.
