Default Vibrating Dashboard?

All,

At different speeds, it sounds like my dashboard is vibrating (or it could be the steering wheel) Is this a common problem. The vibrating/creaking noise can last a few seconds, then stop, then start up again a bit later on. Some days it doens't do it at all

any ideas? Should I be concerned

that could be anything from a wheel that needs balenced to a bad motor mount dose the steering wheel shimmy when you brake hard.

My dash vibrates too. If you grab the cluster trim and the dash pad and press together it goes away. Have not yet yanked it to find out why.

It seems to be worse when it is cold - Why is that?

I have a theory that it is a very thin plastic. That is why, it vibrates in the cold. (it does atleast in the cold for me)

I get a vibrating noise (more like a rattle) when I accelerate. STill can't figure out why.
