I know there have been issues with vibrations and have gone through some previous posts and can't find that is similar to my problem. I just picked up my 2005 xB on Friday. I notice that when I hit about 3000rpm there is a vibration coming from the guage cluster, or at least that's where it sounds like it is coming from. I am going to take it back to the dealer tomorrow to have them look at it, but was wondering if anyone else was having this problem.

Thanks.

I had a vibration comming from my dash area- I thought to myself:'My brand new car with 388 miles better not start rattling on me"- come to find out it was my sunglasses i put on my lower shelf of my dash!!

I wish it were my sunglassses, but no such luck. The vibration was there the moment I pulled out of the dealership. I thought I would put a few miles on it, to see if it would go away, but it did not.

it happens to me at high rpms too... i think its coming from the needles or whatever drives the needles in the guage.. make like a weird fast clicking than a vibrating...

I can't stand it!!! I will take it in to my dealer tomorrow and see what he say. If they can fix it I will let everyone know.

i just picked mine up the other day to and i know exaclty what youre talking about, keep us updated..

I had the EXACT SAME THING happen...and it still happens three months later! Yes, and there is a tsb on this. If the dealership tells you they can't find the problem bring them a brintout of the following tsb:

there are a few other rattles, buzzes etc. you may encounter as well. It is an economy car. :wink:

Cool thanks.

My xb is doing the same thing. I tried pressing on the clear plexi that covers the gauge cluster and the buzzing disappeared. Ask the technician to place some felt in between the plexi and the plastic that surrounds the gauges.

I will do that. I am taking it in tomorrow.

Thanks

I took the xB in today and when I picked it up after work the vibration was gone!!! They used a 1/4 double side sticky foam around the entire gauge cluster, between the plexi and the gauge surface. I refered them to the service bulletin and they said that was specific to the 2004 xB's. They told me that with any 2004 bulletin, they try to take care of the problem at the factory with the 2005's (i.e. the AC problem - it has been corrected in all 2005's). If enough people have the problem then a bulletin for the 2005's will be issued.

cool im glad it all worked out!
