| The dvd system is making a rattling noise. the roof makes occasional loud rattling noise, especially when driving on a little bumpy road. it sounds like two metallic surfaces are banging into each other. i have taken the vehicle to the dealership multiple times for repair but the problem is still there. *jb | |||
