My model 3 has a rattling noise coming from behind the steering wheel. It can be heard at lower speeds when driving on a slightly bumpy surface. Every morning I hear it driving out on the smaller streets and pulling into a parking lot. The rattling is drown out by wind noise when going at above 30 mph. I've been to the service center and mentioned this issue 4 times.
First time, they said they couldn't reproduce it. Second time, I had the rep drive the car with me and he confirmed the noise. Said that it's a suspension problem and they retrofitted the suspension (that was also done to help with the harsh ride). The rattle noise wasn't fixed.
Third time, they confirmed it again, and said they reenforced the components behind the steering wheel with felt tape. Didn't do any good. This was all at the SC in Santa Monica CA.
The fourth time, I took the car to the SC on Centinela. Service rep had a engineer drive the car with me to verify the noise. He claimed something sounded loose and later concluded that it was the steering wheel shaft. They told me that there's been a revision to this part that they have to order and it won't come for a few weeks. Not a safety concern but the rattling was more of an annoyance. I'm also waiting for them to replace the rear camera due to vertical green stripes running through the image.
Just letting people know in cause they too suffer from the same rattling noise or vertical stripes on the camera.
