    Sounds like a rattling coming from lower floor under steering column. Anyone else have this.

    Does it remain the same regardless of speed or RPM's?

    Just a faint rattling sound, but not constant...it comes and goes?

    My guess is the splash guards under the wheel well. Tap it and see. The clips suck.

    LaHh I will take a look first thing tomorrow for sure. Has anyone used any other hardware or just the plastic fasteners? Just freaking annoying!

    When I first bought my 2013 5 years ago, it was making the plash guard noise on the driver's side. I left the original fastener in, and wrapped a zip tie between the head of the fastener and the guard to put tension on it to hold everything in place. Hasn't made the noise since.

    Mine makes a very slight rattling sound. Seems to be in the firewall area, just above the drivers left foot. It starts and stops.... it's not constant. Happens at all speeds...but is the same frequency regardless of speed.

    I've yet to figure it out....
