Replying to: grako (Aug 17, 2006 10:33 am) I had a ' rattle in console ' problem. Like a penny rattling on a biscuit frying pan. My dealer had it fixed but it took numerous visits to the service center. They finally solved the problem inserting foam between two plastic(?)plates near the shifter. I did not actually see the repair but it is the best description I can give here. It solved the problem.

OK, I have to share this. I take the TCH to the restruarant last night with the wife. She gets out of the car first and walks towards the restruarant. I try to lock the door by pushing the black button. NOTHING happens. Oh no, I'm going to have my first problem. I even reach in my pocket and push the fob. Nothing.   Solution: I pull the fob out and found that it was for my other car. I had to have my wife walk back close to the car so that i could lock it:)   17,500 trouble free, squeek and rattle free miles so far.

Replying to: grako (Aug 17, 2006 10:33 am) I've owned my Camry Hybrid for 6 months and, in general think it's great. My annoying rattle in the console is my CDs touching each other and rattling around over not-so-smooth roads (which is just about all of them). In a pretty quiet car, this "chatter" is very disturbing. Not sure how to fix it except by only putting one CD in at a time (kind of defeats the purpose of a 6 CD changer). Toyota Service guys shrug their shoulders. Cheers. Replies to this message: wvgasguy (Jan 26, 2007 12:32 pm)

Replying to: hash (Jan 25, 2007 7:12 am) Wow, if you have them in Mp3 format that's like, what maybe 5000 songs?   I have the Nav system and have burned my cd's in mp3 format onto 4 discs. Utilizing folders you can put just about every song you'll want to hear for a year and they are all in the system and not sitting in the console.

I also have this issue. It started at about 5000 miles. Pleased to know I am not alone but disappointed by such a simple issue in a quality product. Will probably try the self fix ideas.
#71 of 122 Additonal Squeaks, Rattles and Banging by tchsilver Mar 15, 2007 (11:36 am)
Has anyone heard squeaks, rattles and banging coming from the glove compartment, the driver side window and the passenger side area where the seat belt resides when it is not in use? The local toyota dealer has not been of much help. Replies to this message: downwind (Mar 15, 2007 1:16 pm) downwind (Mar 15, 2007 1:21 pm)

Replying to: tchsilver (Mar 15, 2007 11:36 am) Since I stated this thread, I have not experienced any of the subsequent problems, but a new one came up recently - when the steering wheel is turned a bit more than normal, usually at slow speeds, there is a creaking noise from the column. The dealer says it is normal and coming from some sensors in the column. Any body else experience this? There was an annoying rattle in the driver's side column just above your head, and they replaced some broken clips correcting that.

Replying to: tchsilver (Mar 15, 2007 11:36 am) Here's something interesting that just occured. I had a nail in one of the Michelin tires, and my paperwork showed a full warranty INCLUDING road hazard. But the paperwork was for "self supporting zero pressure tires", which were not what was on my TCH - therefore no special warranty. Fortunately the local Discount Tire chain fixed it for free, or I would have had to buy a new tire for $182 (it was almost in the sidewall area which they don't repair)! Just wanted the forum to be aware of this.

Replying to: scottgb (Sep 07, 2006 1:40 pm) I have the same drivers window issue. It started the 2nd day of ownership.I now have 1700 miles. I am also experiancing a jerking feeling in the electric steering like the car is trying to center the steering wheel or has loose play as I turn the wheel ever so slightly to the right sort of jerks back to center. Anyone else having same issue ?
#75 of 122 steering problem by chattguy Mar 19, 2007 (1:27 pm)
My 07TCH is having some odd issues with the electric steering system. If i turm wheel to right ever so slightly i feel a jerking reaction to the opposite direction(left) like car is trying to center its self. Steering has no rhyme or reason to effort needed to turn al low or high speed. I read 1 article where the reviewer said toyota changed out the rack to correct a problem in a pre production car. Anyone else having a similar issue. It scared me when it started occuring on the freeway at nite on the way back from a trip.
