No spaces between jeep and garage.
There are pages of this very problem!

Apparently we are not alone!
My truck goes to the shop next week. I'll keep you posted!
 
Same issue here. The link kenmac posted is spot on. It occurs at low speeds while my foot is on the gas. It instantly goes away if I take my foot off the gas, or if I'm coasting down a hill. If I punch it, I don't notice the sound. It also seems to fade at highway speeds, but I'm guessing this is more to do with the noise being swallowed up by normal engine/wind/road noise. It is definitely from outside the vehicle near or under the engine. It is not coming from inside the cabin.

The only lead from reading the other thread is that one poster said it was a PCV oil hose contacting the firewall shield. There was the transmission enhancements TSB that just came out, so I'm going to take it in to get that done and make sure they check the oil hose while it's there. Will post here with results.
 
Turns out it was the exhaust. Specifically "mid muffler baffle internally broken" according to sheet I was given. Went in today, replaced exhaust, no more rattle. This started out as a minor annoyance that would fade in and out, but by 1,800 miles it had gotten noticeably worse. Don't know if your noise was the same as mine, but at least wanted to report back.
 
My rattle is driver side in dash area and only when I am on the highway. It does not sound like the video posted here. I have taken it in three times and they can't find a problem. I have a case open with Jeep Corp. You all need to call Jeep and register your complaint. Jeep tells me no one else is having this issue. If you will all call then they will take it as a common problem and maybe they can find the fix.
 
My 2011 has done this. Check the plastic mounted around the camera for the auto lamps, it comes a bit loose especially after a car wash / front window cleaning.
 
2014 Jeep GC Rattle

My rattle is on the driver side around the dashboard. Starts rattling around 50mph and is in consistent...never rattles with the dealer/mechanic. Been in the shop 3 times for this and dashboard crashing. Let me know what you think. It is going in again on Friday. I have an open case with Jeep.

 
My rattle comes from drivers side front and is wind related above 50 and if strong cross wind or very windy day rattles frequently
I have the same thing, Big Tom, in our new Summit. Also does it down to 30 mph when wind is whipping. I think it is some of the plastic either between hood and windshield or underhood between fender and inner fender. Was searching here to see if any of our JF geniuses had correctly diagnosed it yet.
