I heard it... A freakin popping sound coming from the B pillar area on the drivers side. It sounds like a broken weld possibly. Sorta like the sound I get from the A pillar, BUT way worse.
This occurs when going over any off camber gutter or driveway between streets at slower speeds... Anyone else? If I ever get some time on my hands I'm taking it in to the stealership to see wut up?

 

I've just noticed a similar sound between the B and C pillars, just above the rear window on the driver's side of the vehicle. It seems more likely to happen when I'm going over bumps that are asymmetrical, causing one side to dip before the other.

Definitely going to bring it in - the noise is really annoying and loud. I can hear it even with the stereo on fairly loud.

 

I've been wondering what that popping noise is. I get it on the driver's side, it tends to pop right behind my ear. It has been driving me nuts -- is this something that the dealership is going to fix?

 

I've got the same thing going on with my car. It's not too annoying but I hope it doesn't get louder. It sounds like it could be easy to silence if you could just locate the source of the noise.

 

there is a tsb to take it in and get it fixed you got the right to say make it right yeah boy

 

Mine went away. I don't know why but I aint complaining.

 

I have this exact problem. any know the tsb number

 

I think there is some confusion in this post. there is a TSB for the A Pillar "creak", but I don't think there is one for the B pillar "click", which is what is being talked about here.

 

I've got it also. Sounds like plastic popping. I've checked all over the place but can't find it.

 

Yeah it's strange. It's like the sound only happens when you're driving relatively slowly (not highway speeds) and drive over a road or driveway that will cause some torsional flex in the car. It has to be torsional though, as I never hear the sound if I take a speedbump straight on, for example.

And to make it even more mysterious it doesn't happen all the time. It's not a big bother but it's there. It's pretty quiet and my passengers never say anyhting. I wouldn't even take my car in if there was a TSB for it unless it was a safety issue. I'd be afraid my car would come back with some new noise.

 

anyone know the scion tsb number or what they do to fix it

 

I have this problem too. It isn't a "creak", it's a "pop" or a "thunk", happens only on certain bumps and when going slowly, just like rockthebeef said. Annoying. I'm just hoping it works itself out.

I just noticed it as the weather started getting colder again. I didn't have any problems last winter though. Hmmm.

 

IDENTICAL AS MINE 100%. IF YOU GET A FIX, PLEASE LET US KNOW!!!

 

shinobi mine is also getting worse as the weather is getting cooler. Never gets cold here in california

 

what is it?

 

does anyone with the noise have the jdm side visors, i do and i don't thnk that is it. i think it is the rubber mouldings

but, why just the drivers side... weird

 

i don't have the visors and have the problem

 

today I think it a loose window in the door track.

it is driving me nuts.....I hope soneone finds it

 

FIX FOUND. I will post later tonight the fix for the B-Pillar click sound. I will do a seperate thread for this.

 

come on don't hold out i need to know
