Anyone else get a heat shield/exhaust rattling from under the car? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I keep getting this slight rattling or squeek sound from under the car and it sounds like the heat shield or somewhere along the lines of exhaust. It seems to squeek a little more when I put it into gear then when it's in N or P. My guess it does that because the idling is a little bit different so it would cause it to squeek more or less.

Same here, I think it's a cable or something rubbing.
There was a topic about this but I can't seem to find it.

I don't think it's so much the cable vibrating but has that squeek sound like when there is loose exhaust or heat shield. It might might very well be that cable but I'm leaning more towards the other .

Maybe your brakes?

someone posted a couple days ago that it was a TSB regarding the shifter cable, Toyota's fix was to put a zip tie around the cable or something to that effect, I'll see if I can find that post.

I have actually had my heat shield rattling on my exhaust...The sound is definitely not a squeak, it sounds almost like a small hole in the muffler. Just jack it up and look^-^
