Not sure if this has been posted before. If so, please point me in the right direction :)

I've had this rattle since the day I bought my car and it seems to be getting worse!
It sounds like it's coming from under the dash on the passenger side but then other times it can sound like it's coming from right in the centre of the dash.

If anyone has experienced this before and has found a solution, I would be keen to find out how to fix as I am slowly losing my sanity with this noise :angry:

Thanks!

    Hello Mate,

    I am having the exact same issue in my Fiesta EcoBoost Mk7.5 - I am unsure where it is coming from but sounds like the passenger side the same as yourself.

    It was annoying me so I went to Ford to see if this was a common occurrence and they said "Yes we have seen this in a lot of our Fiesta Models". Then they went on to saying they did not know the Root Cause and they will have to keep my car in but I am unable to sacrifice my car for a couple of days without having a courtesy car.

    It's an absolute nightmare mate, like I said i'm slowly losing my sanity with it, as i'm sure you are too!

    I'm reluctant to take all the dash apart as, knowing my luck, it would make the sound even worse. Much rather get a definitive answer as to how to fix it.

    If you get any updates from Ford, please let me know :)

    Cheers.
