How many of us have Rattling or random noise in their tC?
Lets really see what the % of tC's with rattle problems is. Whether it be sunroof or otherwise, vote n post up. I'm sure we'd all like to know for real how widespread this problem is.

I haven't seen a rattling topic in a while. Seen a lot of Nick posts about HIS rattling, though...maybe that makes it seems like a lot of topics...?

wow... looks like a significant number of our tc brothers are havin noise problems huh? Thats kind of dissappointing ot hear. Toyota is a company that in recent years has solidified its standing as a reliable, quality maker of automotive vehicles. With their new scion extension, i hope they don't drop the ball and release sub-par quality products.
Lets give this post another bump and let some other people vote onthe poll. So far it looks almost 50/50

Not many comments, which is fishy too - it could be one guy repeatedly deleting his voting cookie and re-voting. Maybe when you vote that you have a problem you should post what the problem is.

Mine rattle. My dash around the MP3 area makes an annoying "chirping" noise. Want to get it fixed by dealer but it cannot be consistently reproduced. Lately, my left door started to rattle as well. On some road conditions, there's some noise coming from behind. Hopefully, that's all the noises that I get. I am getting a "cheap" feeling of the car sometimes.

Because this is not a cheap car. Hehe, but seriously though, rattles can and should be fixed by dealers. The noise from behind *I bet* is from your hatch window. I noticed that If i bang on the window in the middle and on the bottom, I get the rattle. Maybe the seal is messed up or something? When i take my car in for oil change tomorrow this is one of the things i'll have them investigate it. Probably nothing they can do short of replacing the window, or removing the glass and resealing it.My aluminum (plastic that is) peices of the dash seems to *crack* a little, but only after it's been sitting in the sun. This is due to the heat it's been exposed to. When things get hot - they expand.
Before people go around calling things cheap, think about the actual physics of something. Some times things happen naturally as a result of heat

to those of you who have the cracking and creaking (any other noises) coming from the center console.. dealer i went to took the console off and installed a "noise kit" basically foam tape around all the points where it clips into the dash.. no more noise.. and no more of that heat expansion creaking!! may want to ask for that, or try a dealer who does use that foam tape..

Considering the streets I drive on in this city, I am very pleased to not have any rattles. Occasionally, when driving on very uneven surfaces (up steep driveways, etc.) I will here one quick creak from the roof. Nothing has bothered my enough to bring the car in.
