#74 of 122 Re: Door rattles [scottgb] by chattguy Mar 19, 2007 (1:22 pm)
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.
#76 of 122 U guys are not alone! FEH owner same problems by davidlazerr9 Mar 31, 2007 (6:17 pm)
Unbelievable! Have owner new 08 Escape Hybrid for less than 300 miles and have rattle from center console and some type of louder rattle coming from somewhere around glove box or dash/door on passenger side. Yes, its not a Toyota but rattles drive me nuts just the same. Actually debating asking the dealership to buy it back from me.........only has 290 miles. We don't have a Ford message board on 08 FEH so I was checking in on your board.......I did test drive a TCH and was shocked that there was a loud rattle coming from the front dash on a brand new car.......guess i'm living proof that this is more common in new cars than people think Replies to this message: lzc (Mar 31, 2007 7:17 pm) gagrice (Apr 01, 2007 2:24 pm)

Replying to: davidlazerr9 (Mar 31, 2007 6:17 pm) I think the sad truth is a rattle does not qualify for any of the lemon laws. From my understanding of these things. So you are probably stuck with it. I would keep taking it back and maybe they will find the problem.
#79 of 122 Does the TCH have "thud" noises like the non-hybrid Camry? by cfbon Apr 04, 2007 (6:25 pm)
I've noticed on these boards that owners of the nonhybrid camry have reported a sudden thudding noise that sounds like something heavy falling over in the trunk, that may be related to design flaws with the gas tank. I actually heard such a noise twice while test driving the XLE V6, so decided against that model. The sound was unnerving -- it really elicited a startle response in me.   Have any of you noticed such a noise in the camry hybrid? Replies to this message: jbollt (Apr 04, 2007 6:28 pm)

Replying to: jjfcincy (Aug 14, 2006 7:06 pm) This is exactly what problems I'm having. When you first turn the air conditioner on it rattles until the car gets cooled off. But I'm having a rattle problem which sounds like its in the radio area. Not all the time, just can't determine if its the gas motor kicking in or what. We took the car on a trip to the Myrtle Beach and on I-95 which is level and same cruise speed and you could hear the rattle. Bugs me like crazy. Did you learn what the problem is???
#82 of 122 Hmm by yury May 12, 2007 (2:09 pm)
I drive a 05 Malibu, it also squeaks big time. I kinda attributed that to the fact it's a GM, but reading your forum I am suprised to see that a toyotas do that as well.   And you know what else bothers me? that a lot of you guys say that your dealers give you the "it's normal routine". Perhaps i am overgeneralizing, but that was my impression. My GM dealer fixes the design screwups (or at least attempts to) without a word. They were ptetty good insulating the squeaky seat and are very willing to look into the other issues.   Is that something with the toyota people or do i just have a good service advisor? Or maybe GM is more forthcoming when approving warrany work?
#83 of 122 Hybrid car making noise by pasala May 17, 2007 (7:38 pm)
Hi every one- I bought a camry Hybrid car 3 weeks back... When I stop the car at the signal point and if I acclerate the Gas pedal then I hear engine noise ( like a sports car). Is that common?   Secondly, I am feeling my steering wheel to be hard while driving. What could be the reason? Replies to this message: agnosto (May 18, 2007 2:09 pm)
