I do but mine is on the passenger side. I think the dealer doesn't want to deal with it. They give me the can't reproduce. Which means they either didn't drive it or they don't want to deal with it.


I have taken out all the plastic trim. Stuffed the heater vent with foam and removed the tweeter to try to isolate it but it still does it. Probably one of those things that I will have to deal with. Sucks.


If I really wanted to be an ass about it I would tell them I think it is coming from the airbag area and it is unsafe to drive..... we'll see how it goes next time I take it in.

The cowl vent screen outside under the wipers will vibtate and cause the noise you describe. Several threads have addressed this very problem, try using the forum search feature, perhaps you will find something that will save you a lot of headache.....

That was not the issue with mine. Not even remotely close.

Check these threads... lots of 'fixes' here. I had two noises I would have sworn were the dash... it was the cowl vent, the loose fender, and the loose bolts on the windwhield brace, and the loose rollbar bolt on the A pillar.

Clutch slave cylinder hardline rubbing on the heat shielding. It drove me nuts. I tore my entire dash out before I figured out what it was. Search my posts. I posted a picture of where it rubs and how to check it.

This is something I've been trying to fix also. I've taken the dash apart a couple of times, tried several fixes listed and nothing, still squeaks.

Mine seems to be related to the air conditioning and warmer days. Specifically, on a cold day with the heat either on or off, it does not make the squeak. On warmer days, when the A/C is off, the squeak is there. As soon as I turn the A/C on, the squeak goes away. I'm dreading taking it to the dealer because I'm sure it is going to be a pain in the ass. I will get the "unable to duplicate" routine.

Get a can of spray belt dressing and spray the serpentine belt on both sides. Sometimes your drive belt can wear into a ''groove'' that will cause irritating noise that changes with temperature and accessory usage....
