>>>Actually debating asking the dealership to buy it back from me.....<< Let us know how that conversation goes. I know of no car dealers with the return policies of Costco.

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.

Does the TCH have "thud" noises like the non-hybrid Camry? by cfbon

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?

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???

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?

Hybrid car making noise by pasala

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?

As long as you do not hear any clicking noise when the steering wheel turns, the stiffness of the steering wheel is possibly the redesign of the steering shaft assembly (TSB ST002-07 STEERING INTERMEDIATE SHAFT NOISE) where the new TCHs get.

rattle in sun roof by chip107

Anyone had a rattle in the sun roof. It appears to be located in the rear of the sunroof passenger side. If you push up on the rubber seal the noise goes away. This is not a good spot to work on very tight.
