I have recently bought a 2 year old 1.5 diesel Tekna Juke.
The windscreen was replaced 3 days after purchase due to a crack after a bit of back and forthing with the Nissan dealer. Although I have only had it a week, and to be fair I usually have the radio on, I've noticed the last 2 days there is a rattling/ vibration noise since the windscreen was replaced. I've emptied the glove box, pockets etc to no avail . Sometimes it sounds like it's coming from the glove box other times from the whole centre console or the front air bag area . It sounds like something is reverberating and creating this loud rattle. I hear it when going over uneven ground, going down hills or when the engine revs are high at higher speeds.
Bizarrely despite being a constant sound all day today, when I got my husband to drive it tonight it was barely there! I drove it around myself with him as a passenger convinced he was mistaken and going to show him he was wrong, but he was right enough and it came and went but was hardly noticible. Could it be a change in the temp and the windscreen expanding or contracting against the dash?
I've looked on a few forums for advice but nothing is jumping out at me as the same as my issue, and I have emailed the garage to let them know there is a problem.
I would really really rather not hand it back to the garage as the sale became a bit messy and I had to put in a complaint about the after care- if I can avoid handing it in and trying to explain its an intermittent thing ( and I'm pretty noise sensitive anyway) it would be preferable!
Any advice or suggestions would be great- I'm not too 'up' on my mechanics so dummy/ layman's terms would be great thanks! 😀
