it happens all the time for me, worse in cold weather.. but a trick I learned is to turn on the heater, the rattling goes away when the interior is warm, and I'm also warm

Yes definitely.
I guess whatever specific material that is used is really affected by heat and cold. For example, the e-brake handle in the summer is like gumbi soft, but in the winter I can't even bend it in the morning.
I think pieces creak and rattle because there is no flex in them.

i'm having the same issue after the recall , it vibrates everytime i brake but it disappear after about 20min. of driving. I think this has something to do with the engine/transmission mount.

^ Same here. It's not really very noticeable when I am driving on smooth roads. When I have to drive over rough, bumpy, rutted parts of road it it pretty bad. Also sounds pretty bad going over speed bumps when I'm leaving and my car is totally cold. It does get less when the car is warmed up. Not really a big deal. Turn the radio up and you won't notice! LOL

Yeah, it's awful in the cold. I have yet to go to the dealer a second time to make them fix a motor mount issue, so my car is a giant vibrator with all the plastic being stiffer. Rattles all over the place. Funny though, only GUYS complain about my car vibrating and rattling...

I haven't really noticed a lot of rattling but I usually have my radio on. I have noticed that if I let it idle, every once and a while the rpms will drop slightly and the car will shake for a second... This happen to anyone else? Is this normal?

I've noticed tons of rattles appear. During the summer almost none. This is my first winter with this car.
Both doors now rattle, in the right front corner where the dash meets the windshield it rattles. Might have to go on a rattle hunt.
