Said they couldn't duplicate the sound . Figures . Just think how much time it would take to fix all YARII from '06 > '11 . It's about a 8 hour repair . That would be lots of money from TOYOTAs pocket due to labor , parts , and sales that could tarnish their reputation more .

I took mine in 2 or 3 weeks ago for the creaking (thunk) noise. Gave them the TSB I printed out from the forum. It's just 2 bolts they have to order and replace, not an 8 hour repair. Went back a couple days later and I was there 90 minutes.
