Dashboard Rattle Fianaly Fixed
Rattle is Finally fixed !!!!
After secound time I have taken it in, they finally fixed the problem.
They have found that the windshield is was sitting on a body plug which was not
supposed to be there. The windsheild was putting pressure on the body plug which was located on the lower right hand side of the firewall of the passenger side. Here is what the Dealer listed of the repair invoice
"4625 Foreign object (Body Plug from factory) 841099 2.0 after identifying the rattle sound on several test drives, there was a body plug found wedged between the front windsheild and the body/dash support. This plug is for exterior use only and has been there since assembly. Removal of object quieted verified noise was gone Plug was saved with repair order after identifying."
This plug was not suppose to be there and the dealer had check other TSX's and they dont have this plug there. Why I had the plug there remains to be a mystery
and considered a factory defect

my dashboard (passenger side) rattle went away. When it did do it, it only did it intermitently on cooler (50 degree) days. Now that i have 5000 miles on the car, i never have any rattles no matter what the temperature.
I'm glad the rattle went away, but i still listen for it on occassion....wondering if it will ever come back.

My TSX's rattling noise is fixed by the Dealer today.
Just got my TSX 2005 at the begining of Dec. Noticed annoying rattling sound and it seemed to come from the passenger side door. It only happens when I accelerate swiftly and at only around 1800 to 2000 rev/min. Just brought my TSX to the dealer today, during the test drive, I was sitting at the passenger side (first time!), I noticed that the sound is instead coming from the domelinght/Homelink ceiling console just in front of the sunroof. Put my hand there and noticed the vibration. The dealer noticed and confirmed the vibration too.
Here is the deale's work log:
"1228 R/T The car with the customer and heard a noise from the domelight/homelink console RE and RE the console and R/T again. The rattlling nose seeems to be gone"
Yes, indeed. No rattling anymore.... I don't know what they did, I guess they just removed and reinstalled properly the console. I guess this is an assembly/workmanship problem at Acura.
Hope it last!

I don't know if I am experiencing the same thing.....but I've had it for a LONG TIME!!
Everyday after I started my car..... and stop, my brake pedal will shake, then my steering wheel will shake... I always feel this shaking. But after 10 mins of driving, it's gone. I always wonder what it is.

I have a similar vibration when the car is cold. My guess is the tires need to warm up before they get completely "round" again. I didn't notice it in the summer, just since it got cold. Not sure what else it could be.

ssn-ft1 did you ever get a chance to take a pic were this rubber washer goes? I have the same creak, it sounds like aluminum rubbing behind the nav when I hit bumps. Would like to see how you fixed it. Thanks

Well, I have a rattle on the passenger door only when I have the music up over 15 volume and the song has some bass in it. If I turn off my radio, then there's no rattles. This would be covered by Acura right?

Hey, VB, do you keep your sunglasses in the car's sunglasses holder most of the time? I had the same rattle problem when I play music with a lot of bass.. it turned out to be the sunglasses. After I removed them from the sunglasses holder, it stopped rattling.
