I was going to see if anyone else is having these problems.  I LOVE MY TRUCK!!!  I am at about 3100 miles and every aspect of this truck is great, EXCEPT.  I have a rattle coming from my dash.  I thought it was the instruments, but it sounds as if it is coming from directly behind them.  I, also am experiencing a rattle coming from inside one of the back doors as well.  I have a king cab SE.  I haven't taken it in yet for my first oil change at 3700, so I will say some thing then.  I wanted to know if anybody else has had these problems and, if they had any comments, suggestions, or tips. 

Thanks,

gduke

My most annoying rattle comes from the passenger side door. It's where the door panel touches the door frame. I can tap my passenger window down and it will stop. DRIVES ME NUTS! I also have another one from inside the dash, possibly the firewall, that I only hear when I accelerate.

I've had my Titan since February and have had several rattles.  The first was in the dash kind of in front of the passenger seat area, turns out there was a loose nut on the air conditioner...simple fix (was extremely annoying faint ticking noise).  The second was more of a creak/squeak, passenger seat was making the noise...dealership ordered a new seat and will replace it when I get a chance to take it in.  Lastly some rattling noise was coming from the rear seat, turns out that the rear seat was not completely latched in place. 

I've had the stereo receiver replaced to correct the stereo/mono issue that many people have had.

I really love the truck and don't mind so much all the minor issues, it's a first year new model for Nissan, tis bound to have some glitches

Well, I took my truck in for the first check up/ oil change today.  I told them about the dash and the door rattles.  I also am having the seat belt done as well.  He did say something about there being more recalls out?????  I will keep you guys updated on the situation and let you know if it gets better or worse.

We had a very bad rattle from the dash and a slight rattle from the back door panels.  In our case the dash rattle was the VIN Plate.  One side was not securely riveted and sounded just as if an ink pen was caught between the windscreen and dash.  That required the windscreen to be pulled to rivet the plate back in place.  The rattle in the back has yet to be completely fixed.  The dealer has pulled the panels and reinstalled with no success.  After further investigating, I believe it to be a plastic on plastic tack type sound.  In other words, I think the door panel is sticking to the plastic sheet used to seal the door.  I was able to alter its intensity by pulling off the cup holder (pulls straight up to remove), pulling the panel out and stuffing a piece of thin foam rubber between the panel and the seal.  I’m still working on my rear doors but it’s a lot better now.  A good friend just purchased a new Frontier King Cab and has the exact same noise.  I hope this helps, sounds like we all have similar annoying noises in our new trucks.  We had our Titan now for about 2 months with just over 800 miles.
