Driver door rattle

[MAYukoner]

I’ve tried searching all over and besides taking the door apart there aren’t too many answers. I guess next oil change I have them deal with it even tho I doubt their ability to fix either

2021 Yukon couple months old and the constant rattle and noise from the driver door is beginning to drive me crazy. I cannot pin point the location of it but it’s loud and constant. One would think an 84k truck could go more than a month without that. More venting than anything I guess but if anyone has experienced this and has any thoughts it would be appreciated.

I get a rattle from the driver side door column where the seat belt is. It's minor and I plan to have it looked at under warranty.

Possibly this?

It's pretty amazing how many rattles start to pop up around the 3k mile range. I was super impressed at first but am now annoyed on road trips. I've got one in the dash, either the HUD or center speaker. Haven't found it yet. Also under the glove compartment somewhere. At home on my normal routes it's great but on road trips through rough areas I lose my mind. Best of luck! My door panels are still good at 6k miles.

Yep, unfortunately I am now experiencing many rattles with my SECOND 2021 Yukon. I have 2300 miles now on my AT4 and have rattles in dash and both rear doors or floor areas. I know heat is a factor (cheap plastic expands and then rubs) with the dash noise and not sure where the rattles come from around doors or even captain chairs. They come and go, but are loud. They don't seem related to the window motor rattle TSB.

I ordered some "anti-rattle" tape from Amazon that had good reviews and I plan to start taking care of things over the next few weeks. I'm going to start with the lower console and climate control panel. All that stuff is plastic and it's creaking constantly over every little bump in the road. I'm thinking that small area will be a good test for this stuff. I've used similar products before and had decent results just isolating the panels from each other with this felt tape. I'll post an update and my thoughts. Wish I could just trade it in and get a new one every 2500 miles, I miss that beautiful quiet cabin!

It's a 2021, have dealer figure it out

Busy man. No time for dealer nonsense

So trying to figure it out on your own is a more efficient way to spend your time?

Dropping it off somewhere for a day and let them figure it out while you go do your busy work seems like a better way to me

My suburban had that. Turned out to be a loose bolt holding the electric window motor. There are about 5 bolts. Check them all

I finally solved my passenger door panel rattle. It was a simple fix. On a road trip this weekend my son pressed on the door panel in front of the speaker grill and it instantly stopped. I found out the front edge of the door panel (where the weather stripping from the dash puts pressure on it) taps against the metal frame of the door. I just pulled the front edge of the door panel away and stuck this anti rattle tape I got from amazon to the back of the door panel to cushion it from making contact with the metal. I put about 4 one inch pieces of tape along that edge at spots that were tapping. Rattle gone and confirmed.

It really depends on the dealer choices that you have locally. I worked for a really reputable Toyota dealer for 25 years on their sales team. Rattles can be very frustrating for technicians and customers. Techs typically get paid flat rate and these sorts of repairs don't pay very well for the amount of time that they take. If you have a dealer that cares they will take the time to fix it correctly. If they don't care they will just say they couldn't replicate the condition or something like that and try to charge you a diagnostic fee. I typically deal with my own rattles as best I can and ask the dealer if they've seen any common repairs that will work.

Wouldn't the manufacture pay the dealership for the time and cost, like as with warranty claims?

Man, I remember when you'd buy a new vehicle and after a couple months keeping note of any rattles, squeaks, missing or broken interior pieces/covers and taking it into the dealer and leaving it for them to fix and them giving you a loaner vehicle while they had yours.

This was on $15k-$25k vehicles, not $60k-$85k ones. Boy how times and customer service has changed!

So sorry for the slow response, I should actually check the site more often. Yes, the manufacturer does pay the dealer but not for the amount of time these annoying rattles take to find. They estimate repairs in tenths of an hour. Rattle diagnostics might pay just a few tenths so some techs may just rush it and say the can't duplicate so they don't get stuck getting paid 15 mins flat rate on a 2 hour job. I really believe most dealers would try do do a good job. I use a local Caddy store that does an amazing job on my GMC. Caddy stores can do GMC warranty work but not the other way around. Lucky us!
