Dash hum/vibration

[swimmerdude1127]

Well, it's been awhile since I've been over here! Been swamped with work, trips, etc.

Long story short, got a vibration/humming sound that "appears" to be coming from my lower left dash by my left foot (who knows where it's really coming from though). It starts at about 30 or 35 mph and remains the same consistency and frequency at any speed above that.

Anyone had any tips? If I turn up the music above 25 I usually can't hear it. It's not too noticeable unless I have no music on whatsoever and no one else in the car talking... but y'all know the deal, over time it can drive ya crazy!

Check the cabin air filter.

I have the same thing but comes from my dash a little higher. I had dealer check on it under warranty and no fix

I have had a similar issue to this... i'm not sure if it's the same, but they're driving me crazy b/c I have two noises...

One sounds like it's coming from around the radio area. It sounds like plastic rattling around in the back of the radio and occurs at around 65 mph and higher. only on freeways it seems.

The other sound is coming from the passenger side and is a light sounding buzzing noise coming from the glove box. i'm guessing it's the cabin filter? I haven't taken it in yet.

Ah, well at least I'm not the only one

I might take the dash apart when I have time and see if one of the bodies from my switch brackets is rubbing the knee airbag support... likely cause.

I also noticed a random, louder shudder just to the right of the steering wheel, at the approximate location of the radio volume knob, when braking somewhat firmly between 40 down to 20 mph. Who knows?

I guess if you add a ton of mods, I should come to expect it won't drive like it did when I bought it.
