    This rattle only happens on light bumpy roads, only enough to drive you crazy.
    I've looked under, over and in every crevice around the drivers side dash and around the steering wheel.
    A stethoscope would be handy for this examination for sure.
    Has anybody come across this problem ?

    Mine had a rattle on the drivers side and it ended up being the visor.

    Yup, one day I adjusted the visor and the rattle went away. Drove me nuts for awhile. I had looked at around the dash and steering column, pushed and pulled on dash panels, nothing helped. Worst thing was it wasn’t constant.

    It happens to me sometimes and drove me nuts as well since I don’t use the visor often. When I finally found it I was like really?? Try adjusting your visor a smidge OP to see what that does when it happens next.
