Not all of them. Our new one (built in July 2007) came from Japan.

I have a constant clicking noise that comes from the front left top dash area. The clicking is most noticeable when the outside temps are over 80. Has someone else experienced this and is there a solution.

I'm really glad I found this site, I printed your "fix"  I bought a new 07 Camry 3 months ago, and I've had a rattle for the last month. I brought my car into the local dealership and of course they didn't hear it. I returned the next day and picked up one of the techs and drove him, and he heard it - at first they said they had fixed it.. (wires) then the day day came around and again the same noise.. well long story short, I have been back and forth 5 times.. and now they said they are not sure how to fix.. they did figure out it has something to do with the sunroof. When you press up against the glass the rattle stops. Well I'm now on hold until a Toyota Rep is able to come to the local dealership and listen.. sigh.. I try to ignore the noise, but I tend to hear it now even when the radio up ha .. Replacing your sunroof has worked so far?

Yep replacing the sun roof cured the problem. However the shop that did the headliner scratched the center console and the dealer replaced it with no problem.

Has anyone had a problem with the dash squeaking. If I put pressure on the dash (passenger side) near the speaker, it will stop.

Yep. Live in Fla. and took trip out west last month. Noticed squeak in cold temps. sounded like a squeak and clunk but "clunk" went away as cabin warmed up, squeak stayed there. Noticed same squeak from drivers side near speaker and also from clear plastic cover over speedo. Taking in next week to see what dealer can do

Now with the colder weather I have squeaks and creaks and "clunks" coming from all over my dashboard. It's enough to ruin the experience with this otherwise great car. Of course, been to the dealer twice and they can never reproduce it.

I have the same problem with my 08 TCH. If the temp drops in the 40's or below, it seems like the dash (I think it's the dash) creaks like crazy. The other day when it was in the 60's - no noise. Very frustrating, especially because I can't tell exactly where it's coming from. This is my first Toyota after many Chevy's and I'm pretty bummed about the noises. One of the main reasons I bought the Toyota was for the "fit and finish" but so far it is no better than GM.

I have had my TCH since July, 2007. I love the car, but have also had rattles in the dash that have been driving me crazy. But, there is now a fix!! After the third visit to try and fix the rattles that seemed to be coming from the center of the dash, about mid point at the top, I received a call from my dealer's service department. Toyota finally acknowledged that there is, indeed, a rattle issue, and has issued a service bulletin. The bulletin number is: NV008-07. It is specific to certain VIN numbers, and mine was included. (My car was built in Japan, but it may include US built cars as well.) The issue is that in assembling the dash, Toyota used plastic clips that snapped together. The fit wasn't tight enough, so it could rattle, especially in cold weather. The repair requires "Noise Kit #08231-00801", and "Wind Noise Kit #08231-00810". Toyota allowed the dealer 4.5 hours for the repair (under warranty), and it took almost six hours of their time to accomplish. It requires virtually the complete disassembly of the dash. The car is now back together, and there isn't a squeak or rattle anywhere in the car, even over the really bumpy rutted roads we get here in northern Wisconsin in the winter time. There is also no wind noise, but I never had that problem in the first place. I did have a squeak in the shift console about a year ago, which they fixed it as a known issue. I did get rid of my Bridgestone Turanza EL400 OEM tires, which wore out at 29K, with incredible road noise, and replaced them with Yokohama Avid TRZ tires. Now, my TCH has 32K miles, rides like a dream, is as quiet as a church, and after keeping meticulous records for all those miles, have averaged 37.102 MPG. Hope this helps anyone with noise issues in what is otherwise a marvelous vehicle. Good luck!
