I had a few rattles around 5000 miles, but most of them went away by 10,000. The rattles will appear and then settle, now at 15k the car is actually surprisingly quiet and solid.

All my rattling started around 3,000 miles. Today's 9th dealer visit for roof rattle issues 'seems' to have finally have corrected what's been bugging the piss out of me.

05, 7300 miles no rattles etc. First shop visit started one week ago. Outside temp gauge flatlined, on order nav system per dealer, national back order. I have an 05 non-navi loaner with 6000 miles and also no rattles.

My '04 TL is 14 months old and still doesn't have one single rattle...NONE!! I have less than 6000 miles so mabe they will come, but so far the car is absolutely rattle free and solid as a tank. Personally I think the rattle issue is overblown on this forum. The people with rattles tend to be more vocal about their problems than those who don't have any. There are far more TL's on the road without rattles than the few that have problems so just enjoy your car and don't sweat something that hasn't happened.

Mine also began almost immediately. I now have 32,000 miles on my '04 and it is much more quite then it was. Of course I have spent untold hours fixing my rattles myself, and they still are not all gone.

Around 3k, but they went away. I now have rattles only when wife sits in the passenger seat and she forgets to put hear seatbelt back into its holster. Sounds like headliner noise!

Dashboard (10 miles while driving home from the dealer) comes and goes. Window (driver's side just started at 1500 miles). A pillar on passengers side (1000 miles). shifter plate (1000 miles) but is gone since I lubricated the plate with silicone. Some rattles appear to be temperature sensitive (the warmer it ios the less rattles).
