SStaged Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 Hello, Just wondering if any of you have dash/center console creaking noises. Happens when I accelerate or brake. It's highly annoying. Regards, SStaged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigjht Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 I have one that I first thought was in the dash but figured out it is in the rain sensor housing behind the mirror. It rattles sometimes and as soon as I put my hand on that cover it stops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SStaged Posted February 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 It's clearly coming from the dash/console area. It's annoying beyond belief, especially when you're stuck in traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flak Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 I also have a dash creek when accelerating from a stand still..... haven't noticed it when stopping, but there is so much other crap rattling already I may just be missing it.... 2011 as well, with 16k miles now. Around 15500 the headliner in back completely fell off (front was still attached so it was just hanging there). From my current experience with the car and 4 different dealers now, this will be my first and last Ford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larrylu Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Don't know if it will work but it's easy to try. Get a can of something like Armorall (I hate the stuff) and spray the joints between vinyl panels to lube them a bit. Let the stuff soak and give that a try. Another product that would also do the same thing is a silicone lubricant spray. A liquid wax product would probably serve as well. Any thing to break the friction between adjacent vinyl panels. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
19cobra99 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Unfortunately my car also has creaks and rattles. I took my car into the stealership the following day after taking delivery. Supposedly they found a bracket behind the radio loose. Still have a slight rattle over small road imperfections. During hard acceleration I too notice the sound as if the dash was not solid to the frame. Maybe they just have too few fasteners holding the huge dash.

SStaged Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Thank you for the responses. The fit and finish of the dash/console is really disappointing. This is my first Ford, btw. I also have this rattle under the front passenger side of the dash which makes noise when cruising, don't even have to go over bumpy roads, it's almost like the slightest vibration creates the sound. Had my better half push stretch out her feet to push the carpet right behind the plastic enclosure and it stops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetair Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Sorry about the rattles. I hate rattles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoslow Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Everyone keeps saying a rattle. It's not a rattle. It's a creaking and cracking noise under acceleration and braking. Mine even does it when turning hard. Mine is only a month old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boggus Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Mine does it also. The air vents screw into the radio bezel on the 13's. I believe that is causing the plastic creaky noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fa-SHO Posted March 31, 2013 Report Share Posted March 31, 2013 Only creaky/squeaky/rattley noise I have is from the sunglasses holder door and the forward cup holder door, need to get in there and figure out how to get them under control.

markssho Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I have the Nav screen on the '10, and that area of the dash has always 'creaked' when accelerating hard, or breaking hard. I can replicate this 'noise' by pressing on that area of the dash. I've never had the dealer check it as it wasn't bothersome. Otherwise, I have NO rattle or squeaks in the interior. I have recently noticed a rattle/rumble in the rear, which I think might be the exhaust hanger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighBarSHO Posted May 21, 2013 Report Share Posted May 21, 2013 I have a buzz sound coming right around steering wheel/driver dash area. Different road vibrations set it off along with pushing accelerator. Really weird.? Maybe I need to just turn the stereo on? Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
