Just talked to my local service manager, and he said two days ago the official repair bulletin hit all dealers. It involves two spot welds, and the vehicle will have to be sent to a body shop for the repair. At least my dealer is offering a loaner for the time the vehicle is in the shop.

 

niiice, i gotta call my friend at the dealer. I might wait a while until i get enough for springs and install money and do it all at once

 

what a- pillar creak

 

theres a thread about it

 

So is this a TSB? More details on welds?

 

Just called my dealer and have no record of any bulletin for the new xB. She checked through all the scion reports and nothing came up, it's not out yet (if this is true).

This is the largest toyota/scion dealer in Cleveland... Id expect they would have it if everybody was supposed to get it days ago...

 

Yeah I'm calling BS on this one too. This Psycho character has one post and no evidence of an actual issue let alone a TSB.
x2

Is that you CheapChic????

 

The TSB has several pictures with arrows indicating where the welds are to be placed. According to my service manager the TSB was received two days ago. I post this information in an effort to be helpful, as there are many members with this creaking problem (myself included). If you wish to ignore this information just because I didn't bother to register until I had something useful to post then enjoy your creaky box.

 

How dare you talk about my wife in that manner.

 

Grabs popcorn... lol

 

What Creak

 

 

Some owners have a creak from the driver's A-pillar which seem most noticeable upon accelerating.

 

my creak is on the pass side. but who cares. Get a louder stereo :O

My buddy in the service department hasn't seen it either.

I call bogus.

 

every car makes noises i think i can handle this one, not that i have heard it yet

 

Don't all dealerships have their own in-house body shops?

 

Probably but not all the body shops are on site. My dealerships Body shop is cross town from Dealership. WHAT THIS THING CREAKS!!!!!!!! I have 10k and have heard nothin but winds and stereo good Luck and have not asked my dealer about any memos yet. Have a great day

 

I have a small creak, but it doesn't bother me in the least bit. It's on the drivers side and seems to be the plastic dash rubbing, that's all.

If you drive constantly with no radio or any other noise it may bother you,but even if my radio is on to low levels (>5) there is no way I can hear it.

 

Sends Mr. speed an appropriate beverage to accompany his popcorn.

 

That, my friend, is a cheesy response.









btw, I have tickets for the Sunday night game.
