Default rattle in the front

anyone here experience a rattle from the front of the car while in motion at low or high speeds? I notice when i'm on rougher road and when i go over bumps i hear it. Just took it to dodge and they said come back in the morning ... it doesn't sound really bad and i've never noticed it because i alaways have music on but my g/f noticed it and it was only constant when going down side streets and gravel but I do want to know what this is ? It sounds like plastic rattling.

I seem to have an intermittent slight rattle that I haven"t been able to quite pin down. Sounds like it might be a dash thing but happens seldom enough I haven"t been able to figure it out. Hasn"t happened for the last several days but I keep listening just in case...

Anyone else with a similar thing going on??

I don't know if it's the same or not but I have a tinny sound rattle that sounds like it's coming from the left front of the car. I only hear it when I'm going over a bump, railroad tracks, etc... but it drives me crazy. Really haven't had a chance to look into it too much. It just kinda sounds like a piece of thin metal rattling or bumping something.
