    I am getting the rattling noise checked out today. It is coming from the passenger side engine near the glove box. It occurs on the highway. It smells like something is burning coming out of the heater. My radio is making staticky noises. The dealer had replaced it last Summer. They will check that. My curtain air bag needs service. The part is in.

    I have rattle in my 2010. Sounds like about the same area. I have not had any smells and mine sounds like it is inside. Either way I am interested to here what they discover.

    They tightened the system near the glove box area and it made the rattling noise go down
