Anyone experience rattling sound from the dash, driver side. Care to share the root cause

Not sure if its the same sound with mine... mine has a rattling sound at low speed , and a fluttering sound at about 80 to 90 km/h... i would suspect its something in the dash board, but I do not have the time to leave the car at the SC for almost the whole week for them to rectify this... So if anyone else has this problem and had it solved, please do share... wink.gif

The taktaktak sound from inside the dashboard?

They found out Patco actuator motor malfunction, hence the mechanical sound. So they replace the part. I believe Patco is aircond brand

Edit: some of the things replaced

Taktaktak sound from dashboard - Replace Front Actuator Motor (Patco)

Ngek ngek squeak sound if drive at uneven or rough road - Replace Insulator cowl top (front strut)

Cam blur and rear view mirror is loose - Replace rear view mirror and reverse cam. The cam very clear now, less noise

Firewall insulator tore at upper part - Replace firewall insulation

Front room lamp bulb always burn - Can't find the source - changed bulb and will complaint on next service if it occur again

brotan, the fuel smell happens occasionally in my exora, whether full tank or not... may raise this issue in the next service...btw my SC is in Glenmarie too

Really cannot believe you guys do not have problems with the brake squealls and belt squeakings when air cond turn on....My Exora CFE is stock.... #frustrating#irritated... Worst part is I have to plan my time to go and leave the car at SC....

the whistling sound at the dash board is also present in mine, but since my last posting here, I haven't got the time to go to the SC....but the service period for 21k km is arriving soon... so hopefully will update you all with all the rectifications the SC can do on my complains....


besides that, I also faced the brake pedal issue... hard like a rock and couldnt brake once during the last weekend, couldnt repeat it though... but will brig this issue up to SC too since, my brake squeaking sound is still there....
