Well after 6,000miles my 06 tC had a Buzz in the steering wheel, and a sqeek and rattle in the rear roof. So I finally brought it to the dealer and they fixed it in one day.

Apperently there were a couple bad pinch welds in the rear roof, so they rewelded them and that fixted the rattle and sqeek in the roof.

Then they said something was loose behind my airbag in the steering wheel so they padded it and the buzzing sound is gone.

They also found that the radio cover was sqeeking so the padded that as well.

So for the first time in 6,000miles my tC is not making any noises it shouldn't.

I just hope more welds dont' freakin' fail. Lets hope I don't find any more quality failures.

 

Wow, what dealership do you use? It just may be worth a ride to IL...My dealer laughs at me when I bring up those issues!

 

It was Peoria Toyota Scion. Heck and for the one day they had my car they gave me a brand new Camry to drive around which was a pretty nice car. They gave me no problems in fixing them. Sucks that I had the problems but they took care of them

 

Works for me!! count your blessing. There is an entire thread on here devoted to what the dealership has messed up (maybe you saw it). Sounds like you have a good one!

 

Glad to hear they got everything sorted out for you. I just dropped my car off at the dealer this past Monday for the same annoyances you had. Hopefully they will have the same success with mine as they did yours.

 

Glad to hear someone has had luck with these unending nosies. Congrats. I'm installing the ingalls rear strut this weekend and putting down some more raamaudio mat around the hatch before I bring it in again. (hopefully the combination of a tightened and dampend ride will do the trick) Right now the largest rattles seem to be between the two glass roofs and somewhere behind the HVAC.
