    Truck is new (less than 5k miles). Hearing a noise almost like the door isn't shut all the way (although it is). I don't want to call it a rattle because it's more of a solid vibration; hard to explain but hopefully you get the idea. First noticed it after a decent snowfall driving through some ruts in the subdivision, mostly on turns. I thought it was only making the due to the lateral motion of the truck but I can still hear it if I go over a severe enough bump. Anyone have a similar issue?

    Wind noise? A seal? I'd take it to the dealer since it's under warranty.

    Mine was the metal door latch attached to the B-Pillar coming loose.

    Thanks for the input guys, I'll have the dealer look into it when I go in for the 5k service.


    I'm thinking the door latch makes the most sense since it is definitely not a rattle or wind noise (driving too slow for it to be wind). Only way I can describe it would be the noise a vehicle door makes when it isn't closed all the way going over bumps.

    Sounds like maybe a wheel bearing if it's more noticeable when turning, especially if it's just when turning one particular direction. I've heard them clunk also when going over bumps.

    I think I'd make it a priority to take it in.
