Rattle in Steering Wheel

[PaulH]

I recently picked up a new 2010 4.6 with Tech Package. Overall I am very happy, but there is a subtantial rattle somewhere in the steering column when the car hits a bump or expansion joint on a bridge. It almost seems like the airbag in the steering wheel may be loose. Anyone else have this problem? I intend to take it into the dealer as soon as I get a chance, but I thought I would see if anyone else has experienced this problem.

I have heard a rattle at various times, more coming from the dash than the steering column. Similar behavior to your description. Anyway, I found that it is related to the CD changer. If I remove all disks from the CD player, then reload them, the rattle stops. So I've concluded it is something in the CD player that is rattling. Very pleased.

I have a 2011 with a premium nav pckg, i don't use the CD player and I still hear a rattiling noise of some sort like you from the dashboard. I have even thought that it may be coming from the glove box. I have sorted the glove box with no favorable result. It's really annoying to hear that noise.

Check the cabin air filter for correct installation. Its behind the glove box.
