    I have 1000 miles on my 2012 and I already have 2 rattles... One faint higher pitched rattle from the drivers side and one louder on coming from somewhere on the passenger side.

    Anyone else experience this so early?

    There have been a ton of threads on this already. But yes, you will get rattles like you would in most cars that aren't luxury vehicles. Cheaper, green materials will rattle. No way around it.

    I've heard other noises, but my 2010 has been for the most part rattle free. The dashboard on my 2005 rattled like crazy near the little windows in front of the side mirrors, especially in hot weather. I just ignored it.

    On my 2012, I have some rattles, but they come and go, none of them have stayed
