Rattling noise
I have a rattling noise (more like a squeaky noise) only when driving over rough roads/bridges and it is constant. I took it to the dealer and they were "unable to duplicate at this time". Is this like the headliner rattle? Any insight/suggestions appreciated.

Can you give a better description of where in the vehicle this might be coming from? like a more specific area inside or around the vehicle.
I know of quite a few usual ones, but without knowing where it is really coming from I might be sending you off in the wrong area..
Also, unless you have a ton of miles on yours, it should be covered under warranty and I would continue to take it back until its fixed and you are satisfied. Make the shop foreman or one of the managers take a ride with you and let them hear what you hear.

sorry to hijack you thread, but I have a fairly loud "clunk" coming from above the left rear door area. Only happens when I drive over big bumps like a speed bump, and it does't happen everythime. The first time I heard it, I was driving over a large bump fairly quick (30ish). sounded like something major broke or cracked. any ideads? thanks

It may be a plastic crossmember in the headlighter check my post. I fixed a rattle like that by removing the crossmember.
