Squeaks, rattles and noises. - Toyota Yaris Forums

Schmingie · 02-09-2006, 11:19 AM

I have found my Yaris to have lots of rattles and noises from the interior.

The glove box was rattling - sounding like it was coming from the a-pillar. I still have rattling from the back somewhere, in the dash somewhere and both front doors.

Anyone else experiencing this?

You would figure working at a dealer this would be looked after, but as an employee my car always comes in last and its tough to get it in to be looked at.

strange, my Yaris goes softly as a cloud, unless of courze, if I am goin' over 3500rpm.... I would suggest you bring it back for a check up.

why? · 02-09-2006, 01:14 PM

Are the rattles happening all of the time, or only certain times? Like maybe at certain speeds?

My instrument cluster rattles like crazy when the car is moving!! Only has 3000km!! It is driving me crazy...

Should'nt rattle at all Schminqie, give em sh--! Tell em to treat you better or you'll go to the garage across the street LOL.

Schmingie · 02-09-2006, 05:44 PM

If there's a rattle in the back, check the sub-floor in the hatch, my RS wheel lock socket was bouncing around in the tray...

If you have stuff in the bins/gloveboxes, then they will bounce around...

Eeek! My 2002 Cooper is a rattle-king... and the local MINI dealerships do not really care about rattles unfortunately.

I am thinking about a switch to the Yaris, but rattles are driving me crazy... especially on a brand new car! :(

As a positive note, the demo car was super quiet during my test drive (at least compared to my current car)!

I think you should have them look at it!

My RS is not completely free from squeaks and rattles but fortunately they happen only on rough road surfaces and are at an acceptable level.

GabL · 02-13-2006, 10:29 AM

I found rattling from my dash as well, and when I was starting up, heard some resonance noise (metal noise) from the back as well, everything was tied up, and I check the spare tire area, nothing should be moving. Probably is something outside the car. Brought it back to the dealership, and the technician said it's a Yaris, don't expect the quietness in Camry or higher class cars... ...

swng · 02-13-2006, 06:35 PM

This morning I discovered that when I engaged the reverse gear, there was a low level rattle of some kind, sounding like some metallic part was vibrating because of lack of proper harnessing/cushioning. It did not appear to be important. I will mention it to the dealership when the car is due for service.

echo_hrs · 02-13-2006, 08:15 PM

Another contributor to rattles is if you have upgraded to larger (16-17") aftermarket alloys with low profile tires...

thats

, man... have no problems with noise on ours and we've had ours for 3 months now. to illustrate the problem to the technician, have him ride both your dealer's demo car and yours. I doubt the dealer demo car will also have those rattles.

a car is the 2nd most expensive thing (next to a house) that a person will buy in his lifetime.

even if its not a camry, you have the right to get 100% satisfaction from your purchase.

I have the same rattle with mine, it seems to come from under the car, strange. I assume that's from the heat shield around the muffler or stuff making the noise.

Well, I did have a 10 mins drive with the technician, and that's what he said to me. He said what he heard is normal... blah blah blah...

Ziv · 02-14-2006, 09:42 AM

Yo, which dealer did you went to in Toronto?

as400g33k · 02-15-2006, 12:21 AM

time to lay the smackdown on that dealership. get a 2nd opinion on a different service center. if they confirm that it is a default, bring it up with your service station manager, then to your dealer manager then to toyota canada customer service.

never give up!
