annoying rattle from front right side dash.
Hi Guys,
I'm getting this annoying squeaking from dash just above the glove box, not sure why but it's squeaking like crazy when I go over bumps in the road and it's driving me CRAZY...
I've given it a few choice thumps with my hand, it's like something is loose just under the rubber dash and rubbing or something...
Anyone else have this problem?

i had similar problem on the left side and it was fixed by the dealer by adding more insulation. Today I noticed that the rear view mirror is loose and I will get that fixed too in next few days.

So how does the water in it keep from evaporating from the reservoir (which is vented to atmosphere) over time? That would be a pretty neat trick if you could actually do it. Every Toyota I've owned with factory coolant is usually low after a few years. Add some distilled and life is all good again.

Make sure you empty out the Glove Box, Sunglass holder, Ash Tray, Center console and both Door pockets...
Sometimes loose change, items or goods can create rattle sounds...

This only happens when the dash warms up after being driven for 1 HR +

^^ Eric, have the dealership check it out if your still under warranty.... They usually have to PULL the whole dash to replace the felt lined clips with better ones..
Also, did you try what I mentioned in Post# 9??
If you do bring it in, have them check the wheels after those nasty potholes you were hitting

Hah, the pot holes weren't as bad as they sounded.... I took it to the stealership and the put some more foam in... The car had the 100000k extended warranty however, when I bought it off the owner the warranty doesn't transfer so it's out of warranty now .
Anyways, the dealership I took it to hooked it up large, they had the tech come right away and he just installed some extra foam and the whole squeak is gone... sooooo happy....
Kinda worried about this car since it's out of warranty now, wondering if I should have just bought CERT pre-owned... I have the shaky rear mirror problem and now my heat only works when I step on the gas (either themostat but I think it must just be low on coolant because it wouldn't make sense to heat up so quickly when i step on it)
Joe Z, do you have any cruising videos with your exhaust, was thinking of purchasing one, but I don't want to deal with drone since this is my DD. I'm not trying to make a race car just a fast car
