Have an '07 with 117k miles so well out of warranty. There is a very pronounced metallic rattle coming from the rear of the cabin when going over moderate sized bumps or listening to audio at moderate levels. Did some troubleshooting and have narrowed the noise down to somewhere above the rear center of the headliner. If I press slightly upwards on the headliner at this location, the noise stops.

Search of the forums indicate it may be the receiver for the TPMS system. Since I'm not in warranty, has anyone attempted to fix the problem themselves? If so, is it possible without removing the headliner? Thanks.

I had the same problem on my 08 a long time ago, the correction was done at the dealer and it was so easy, the source is the rear dome light, the headliner bangs on an electronic module. It can be reproduced by tapping the headliner on the rear. The solution, remove the headliner light dome and stick foam tape. The problem should be solved.

You can do it yourself after seeing the technician doing it, max time 5 mins.
