Picked up my 2017 Lariat a few weeks ago, and overall have been very happy with the truck, but there is a slight rattle / creaking in the dash between the center console and the trim below the instrument panel.

Does anyone else have this issue? The road is a little bumpy when it happens, but nothing crazy. It is almost like the sound when your keys are jingling a bit in the ignition, but of course no keys there with the push button start.

Is it just the plastic settling in the cold weather / hot heat, or are the trim clips that cheap?

 

Yes and it is driving me up the freaking wall. It is in the little 1" tall piece just above the center console. If I put my finger on the left end the rattle completely goes away.

 

It definitely seems like the interface between the center console and the rest of the dash. This is bull**** for a $50k+ vehicle. Has anyone cured this? Seems I am going to have to rip the whole freaking dash apart and add foam strips to everything. Thanks Ford.
