Yes I just got my car last week and already have a rattle in the passenger door. I emailed my salesman today. I'm going to take the car in and have them check it out. No reason a $50k+ car should be rattling within one week.

check out the horrible plastics surrounding the seat controls. it's worth a look.

I've got a rattle that goes away when someone sits on the passenger seat, still can't figure that one out.

Ah ha...I may have an answer for all y'all. I had that same ratttle coming from the passenger side door. It turned out to be the metal seatbelt buckle tapping against my wood trim on the passenger door. Fix? Instead of hanging freely between the seat and door pillar, I hook it around the seat bolster nearest the door. No more rattle

^^ That could be it. I only notice the rattle sometimes, and come to think of it, it's usually when there's no passenger in the car.
