2016 mustang dash rattle?
- Thread starter jdcobra
- Start date
I bought a 2015 that was built later in the year (June 1st) and I don't have any dash rattle. I'm willing to bet it's only the earlier-built 2015's that have that problem, so the 2016's are probably fine.
I wonder what they did to fix it though? I've had my whole dash replaced and supposedly there is no fix
I'm not sure. Maybe I'm just lucky. I DO, however, have the issue where the hood shakes when at freeway speeds, which is pretty annoying.
I have a 2016 and have never had any issues with hood or dash rattling/shaking.
I know one person with a GT350 that has some rattles.
Yeah I wish they put more foam in, too much plastic on plastic action. I drive on some pretty bad roads and my dash rattles quite a bit. The drone from my exhaust also rattles my dash within a 600~ rpm range.
Aftermarket exhaust can certainly exacerbate the situation.
I have a 16' now and don't have any dash rattle, but do have the hood shake issue mentioned above.
I have a 16 PPGT and havent noticed any rattle or hood shake as of yet
Yeah it does not help at all haha. The roads I take to work are REALLY bad though so I can't really complain when it rattles as it is not the car's fault On a nicer road though no rattles at all though even from the exhaust.
Still wish foam was added in on all dashes, too much plastic touching which causes these issues. I wonder how much it costs the dealers and such every time someone brings a new car in under warranty for dash rattles and such. I know these car makers find this stuff in testing and let it go through anyways. Couldn't be too much money to add a bit of foam to the problem areas. Better than a sound tube.......
Also where exactly are the rattles coming from? The rings around the vents rattle, along with the gauge cluster (my 14 also shook at the gauge cluster as well). The front trim piece seems to shake a bit as well.
My glove box rattled a bit this morning. Think I'll pick up some felt tape from the hobby shop and do a little work next week.
Mid dash plastic piece, plastic piece by the window, somewhere above the glovebox, and around the passenger side seat belt area. Oh, and sometimes from where the rearview mirror is connected to the windshield.
oh my lol, time to wrap the car in foam 
oh my lol, time to wrap the car in foam
Keep in mind, this is even AFTER ford replaced the entire dash
The mid piece by the center air vents (air vents and vaccum/oil pressure gage on perf. pack) sometimes creakes. Annoys the f*** out of me but oh well. Luckily no other rattles.
Lucky
that's the easiest one to fix. I contacted Ford again to see if they wanted to try to do anything again before I went in and added some foam strips from the local hardware store.Users who are viewing this thread
