    Went on a 1200 mile round trip last weekend. Shortly after getting on the road, I start hearing this little rattle. I asked my wife in the passenger seat to track it down. Sounds like its coming from behind the airbag cover over the glove compartment. Anybody else have this one?

    I haven't noticed that in my DC, but I'll listen for it. I'm usually all over sounds that I know aren't supposed to be there!

    No rattle in my '13 AC PreRunner.

    The rattles in my Prius would drive you crazy. :)

    Yep, I've got something going on somewhere on the passenger side. Haven't been able to pin point it. It's only when light throttle is applied around 1.5-2k RPM.

    Too many to list, and I've probably forgotten a bunch.
    That isn't a 'rattle', exactly.

    Welcome to the club. Let me guess - V6/5AT engine/trans combo?

    Follow that thread, I'll let you know how arbitration goes this morning.

    I'll let you know how my test drive of a '14 Frontier goes on Saturday.

    I have that similar noise. It sounds metallic on mine, and is louder on cold mornings.
