Also, you may notice the slight rumble when the ICE shuts down as you let off the gas pedal. The first time I drove a TCH it didn’t seem to have much power, which scared the crap out of me since I had already bought it! Well, it turns out my foot was low on the gas pedal and I wasn’t getting any leverage on it. The position of the gas pedal was different than that of my Expedition, so for the first few weeks I had make sure my foot was squarely on the gas pedal with the ball of my size 13 foot near the top of the pedal. |

Anyone experiencing a rattle in the air conditioning when it is first turned on. Also sounds like another rattle coming from somewhere else in center console but can't pinpoint where is is coming from. Didn't notice the rattles until had about 2200 miles. Now have 3300.

I am also having an annoying rattle in the console area, usually on rougher roads, between 30-40 mph. It seems to be in the area of the gear shift/drink holder area. I have just 1000 miles on the car and it has only recently started to get more frequent. Looking forward to anyone who has had this serviced. |

| My wife's TCH has the rattle in the center A/C vents. It is the part of the vent that turns from side to side. Apparently some of the slats are slightly loose causing a rattling noise when the A/C fan is at its highest setting. The service department has ordered a new vent and I'll let you know if this fixes it. | |

Love my car, had it for 1k so far. I've got a small rattle that I hear from the AC at max output which I will probably ask them about at the 5k oil change. But it seems like others have posted that its typical and may actually go away as the car warms up from a cold start. But hear is my main point on this post. I'm not sure if I expect to much but I think the wind noise is higher than I'd like and I'm not sure if I have a real problem. At 60 or so on the highway, I definitely hear outside wind noise. I have crained my neck all over to try and see if its any actual leak or whistle and it does not seem to be anything specific coming from a window or door on the driver side - I haven't had an opportunity to check passenger side but it doesn't seem to be a problem. It just seems that the car is relatively quiet but with no ac and radio off, you definitely hear the wind. Seems like most people feel the car if very quiet. Can anyone comment on whether they mean that the engine and operation is quiet, which I agree, or whether they mean the ride is silent at highway speed. I know its an unfair comparison but a high end car like a lexus is definitely silent even at highway speed. I guess I shouldn't expect that - but if others think its comparable and silent, then maybe just my car has a problem that I need to get looked into. |
