I'll check at my dealership tomorrow if the TSB is out. I asked this on the other thread, if you guys having the noise problem (and girls too) please list the last four numbers of your VIN. My son's is 1250.

There is no TSB yet. It may still be a little while before there is.

If it affects lots of cars then it will be out shortly. Toyota doesn't sit on their laurels when it comes to safety or technical bulletins.

My noise problem is allegedly the hatch stays (shocks). The car has been in three times now and they are waiting for a TSB. The noise is a sort of rattle, plastic sounding, and can be continuous. It is worse with more light and heat. The first time it was in they took the roof apart and said they fixed it. They couldn't have test driven it because it was the same. The next two times they just drove it to see what it was. They have another tC with a roof noise problem. I called Scion after the second visit because I was concerned my problem wasn't the same as most of the other noises described. It started two weeks after I bought it. I now have a "case" opened. Vin #2455.

Yes!...Isn't it great that the vehicles are already priced low. God I hate having to haggle. It was soo painless. Screw the honda civics! The one I priced(21.400) was way over what I paid for the Tc(17,600). Opted to get the extended warrenty since it is the first model year. Not a single complaint. Smoked my first honda SI last night. You cant find a better bang for the buck! I had to drive 2 hours to St. Louis and managed to get the last one! What a bad ass car!

the last digits (probably last 6 actually) are the sequential number assigned to each car. Most of the vin is the same for all of us, signifying model year, model, where made, etc. The last set is unique to each car, so you have the 3,5XX one made.

A while ago someone mentioned that there was a fix for the roof rattle--I have a couple of questions about that. I have not yet taken delivery, and expect to in about 3 weeks. I'm wondering whether a) whatever was causing it will likely have been addressed in production yet, and b) assuming it isn't, what can I request the dealer do before I pick it up so whatever the bolt problem was is already taken care of. I'd like to be able to request something specific--my dealer is not conveniently located, so I'd prefer not to have to take it back to fix something if they know how to prevent it already.
Also, would people who've had the sub/spare tire issue recommend getting an aftermarket sub instead? I know it's not a huge deal, but still. . .
