| Description of the problem | I am experiencing a rattle in the passenger side b-pillar. My dealer is aware of my problem and said they haven't experienced it before. They are going to research any tsb that may be available regarding the rattle, before they start disassembling the interior looking for the cause of the rattle. In the mean time, i have found many on-line complaints about the same issue and one of the responses indicate communication with an owner and with volkswagen, by the nhtsa about this issue. I'll try to attach the link to that conversation. If, as stated in the communication, a fix has been identified, please let me know so i can forward it to my dealer before they start removing my vehicles interior looking for the problem. Thank you. Here is the link i referenced above. If the link doesn't take you directly to thread # 137, please go to page 6 and scroll down to thread # 137. Http://forums. Vwvortex. Com/showthread.
