    I have a rattle coming from the back hatch area. I sat in the back seat while someone else drove and it sounds like it's coming from under the drivers side plastic side molding in the back hatch. Has anyone noticed this?

    One of the nuts holding the plastic "hatch garnish" (which contains the license plate bulbs) had come loose with my 2004. I used a magnetic wand to pull the nut out of the hatch, and a long 10 mm socket to reinstall the nut.
