I dont know if anyone else has this problem, but everytime im driving there is this weird noise coming from behind the glove compartment or the dash, it sounds like if i had a pen in the glove compartment, and when i turn left or right it moves from one side to the other. Its not a vibrating kind of noise, its as if there is something loose moving from one side to ther other every time i make a turn, and it makes a noise everytime i go over a bump as well....Its driving me crazy....

Anyone else?

check your passenger seatbelt, it may be knocking against the door panel if the seat is in a certain position... Buckle the belt and drive.. see if it still happens..

No, thats not it, ive tried that already, besides as i mentioned, if i turn left for example, it will sound as if a marble slided from right to left....if i turn left again, theres no noise, but if i turn right, then it will sound as if the little thingie, slides all the way to the right...i dont know if im explaining my self here, but pretend you have a marble or a screw or something in your glove compartment and it moves around as you drive....thats how it sounds....

try driving with a passenger in the car to help you better distinguish the problem or perhaps stop it.

But since you bought it brand new, talk it to the dealer have them hop in it and show them, even though you paid good money for that car.

Best recommendation really. You don't want to be looking and listening trying to find something like this when your driving the car. Definitely have a buddy try to help you seek out the noise. Take it to a parking lot and do a circle counter-clockwise until you find it

Good Luck.

Maybe its a small screw or something that fell back there @ the factory...behind the dash? Or you may have just "lost your marbles" ahhhh that was cheezy
