Tilt Lever Rattle
When the steering wheel tilt lever is engaged (as it should always be), I have a rattle every time I hit any sort of bumps. It comes from directly in that area, behind the steering wheel. If I release the tilt lever, it’s completely silent. It happens every time I drive the car and is really obnoxious. Took it to one dealer and they said they ‘couldn’t recreate the issue’. I don’t actually think they even looked at it. Anyone ever experience this?

Took it to another dealer and we have isolated the issue to something inside the base of the steering wheel rattling. Seems to get better when the steering wheel tilt lever is disengaged. Probably because there's more give to the steering column.
Either way, not gonna bother replacing the steering wheel (which costs about $600 btw) for a rattle. |

Lately, I have been hearing a weird rattle type noise coming from the dashboard area. I came across your thread. I'm wondering if it is the steering wheel. Mine only makes the noise when stopped at a light or at slow speeds. Once I put the transmission in park and put on the e-brake, the noise stops. Also, I do not hear it at highway speeds with the radio on. |
