    I just had the dash done. The had to take apart the whole dashboard and replace some clips and put in some foam insulation. Finally, after a year, no dash rattles!

    Unfortunately, now I can hear rattles from the B pillars and the center console squeak!

    While I am happy with the car as a whole, I too am disappointed with Toyota's quality control. I hope Toyota watches their backs because they're going to be passed by Hyundai!!!!

    Update to my previous post, I had to have the dash taken out and new insulation put in. Dealer was hesittant to do it, but after two days when other fixes didn't work they finally did the repair. No noise - Finally!! Quality fit and finish on interior of my 07 camry is worst I have seen in five Toyotas I have owned. Toyota had better get a handle on this.

    Is there a way to get the Vin#s that were included in the service bulletin?
  • eric64eric64 Member Posts: 1
    My THC has 35k miles with no problems, but yesterday while driving a steady 60mph I heard two loud thumps seemingly from the roof. There were no cars or trucks anywhere near me, so I stopped and looked at the roof and trunk; no dents. No change in driving. I continued on and an hour later as I sat in downtown traffic, not moving, it happened again; two loud thumps very close together seemingly from the roof area. I had nothing in the trunk or back seat. Now that it has happened twice, I am nervous; once driving, once sitting still. Could it be a battery problem? Still no change in driving ability or mileage.

    Thankyou so much! I have a July 2007 Hybrid (Japan built) and love the car. The only problem is the dash squeaks and rattles that are so annoying. Today I decided to search my favour site, Edmonds and came up with this post. I called my dealer (I'm in Canada) and they first denied any knowledge of this service bulletin. I wasn't rude but they must have got the message that I wasn't happy b/c a short time later I received a phone call from the service manager. They now acknowledge this service bulletin and my car qualifies. I hope to have the work done within the next month. I purchased out of town due to the wait list. Thanks again, I would not have had any idea without your help! Cheers, Tom - Victoria

    Great to hear! My dealer in the U.S. didn't want to do the service bulletin work at first because it involved taking out the dash, replacing the clamps and re-insulating. But what a difference after they did the work!! My 07 SE-V6 is now as quiet and smooth as a Toyota should be. Cheers,

    We purchased a 2008 Camry Hybrid in October which just recently turned 7000 miles. A few days ago, we began to hear a high-pitched chirping noises when hitting small and large bumps in the road. Though the noises were apparently coming from the interior battery air vent, the fact they were made as we drove over bumps made me suspect they were related to the suspension or shocks. We didn't begin to hear them until we had driven about 60 miles, and the next day didn't hear them in the morning but they returned in the afternoon. Has anyone else experienced anything similar? I'm taking it into the dealer tomorrow but assume they won't hear anything.

    Hello orbiter,

    Thank you for this detailed info. I have been having the squeaks and was wondering what to do about these..

    More importantly, the OEM tires on my car wore out at 19,000 miles, and I am completely baffled. I had replaced OEM tires on my last camry (2000) at 44,000 miles, and I own a 2005 Sienna with 33,000 miles, and still another 10,000 miles to go on the tires before they need replacement.

    Additionally I was getting my maintenence work done at "the largest toyota dealer in Wisconsin" and a few weeks earlier, I went for a tire rotation, and noticed they did not rotate the tires as thay claimed they did, and charged me (one of the tires have crub rash-part of winter driving). I also noticed all the tires are more worn on the outside, than the inside, and the dealer (who has been rotating these tires) never mentioned anything ever.

    At this point, my question is is there any oint in going back to the dealer and complaining, or I should just suck it up? Also I would like the thoughts of other members of this forum as to what they think aobut writing to Toyota about the poor quality of these tires..

    Anyoned else had similar experiences?

    Thanks SJ
  • lzclzc Member Posts: 483
    Yeah, I'd go back to the dealer and point out the work they didn't do. It could have been a mistake. At least get back the money you paid. If the tires were worn rotating them may have been pointless anyway.

    Sure, write Toyota about the OEM tires. They didn't get to be #1 by ignoring their customers.
  • plknjplknj Member Posts: 121
    Guess I was fortunate that my dealer put Michelin's on my car as they lasted over 44,000 miles before I changed them for another set of Michelin's. My dealer was having a 4 for 3 tire promotion. With installation it came out $60 more than if I purchased 4 from tirerack.com and had them installed.

    Called them back and said if you can drop the price $60 I would have them install it... they agreed.
  • pacamry1pacamry1 Member Posts: 6
    I've had the same experience - the dealer will match tire rack price to get your business. Take the tire rack quote to the service manager and he/she will work with you.

    I have 22K on my '07 Camry SE, Michelins in great shape and still have many miles to go on them. I rotate every 5K miles.

    Love my new TCH, have it for 9 months now, you get what you expect from Toyota! Started to use my aux/mp3 player recently and the sound is incredible. However, the rear window vent rattles with the base even at normal levels. Did anyone else have this issue and if so, what was the fix?
  • marvapmarvap Member Posts: 1
    I live in North Texas. Bought my 07 Camry Hybrid in April of 2007. Ever since I have had the car, there are squeeks,rattles, clunks.They did replace the side door panel on the passenger side(I did not even hear that one). Replaced rubber molding on my driver side and replaced the groove that has the sunroof. Every time I take it to a dealer, they NEVER hear the noises. One dealer refused to even attempt unless he could hear a rattle(that dearler was 45 miles away). Just took it back, they showed me the paperwork that had been done on it. Everything that came out in the press releases had been done. However, he is ordering all new replacement molding for the dash and clips. Should be here next week. At least they are trying. If this does not work, I am selling the car. I have had enough as my husband has too. I do love the car, but something is terribly wrong with it. I did have a 97 Avalon XLS and it never had these problems. I guess I am going with GM after this.

    I'm not looking for a diagnosis per say (though suggestions would be helpful), but how would everyone recommend to address this with Toyota.

    I have a ~7k mile Camry Hyrbid purchased in 5/08. It's been doing well until two days ago when I stopped abruptly (ABS engaged) but no accident and all of a sudden the car makes a new noise.

    The noise is a higher pitched whine ONLY when the gas and electric motor are both engaged at higher RPMS (I'm guessing around 3000-4000 as there is no tachometer).

    I've run it by the service tech who says it is a "normal" sound. I've been driving my car for 7k miles and I can tell you 100% for sure this is not a normal sound. I"m at an impasse with the dealer and would like to escalate it to the next level as I'm extremely frustrated.

    Does anyone have a good resource for contacting Toyota on a more corporate or regional level other than the "Customer Experience Center" at 1-800-331-4331? I'm in Philadelphia, PA.

    Thanks!

    I'm guessing since you haven't gone above the dealer level yet, that the first thing that's going to happen is that you'll be sent back to the dealer no matter who you call.

    And while I understand your concern that it's not a normal sound, you have to consider the possibility that it is and that you're simply now aware of it. I have the same sensitivity to changes sounds in my vehicles and it drives me crazy at times. Get the car checked out and it gets a clean bill of heath, so I eventually come to grips with the need to not focus on it. (Although I still worry a bit)

    From your description of "running it by" the service tech, it sounds like that was on the order of taking a ride in it and him saying it's normal. Since you said the event involved the ABS, that would be my starting point.
  • lzclzc Member Posts: 483
    Did the tech just listen and conclude the sound was normal or did he do a computer scan to verify normal operation? If not, I'd first try to get them to do that. A polite conversation with the service manager should get him to accommodate you. If still not resolved, get the phone number for the zone office and start there. I think, but don't have handy, it's listed in your warranty book, which also includes some "dispute resolution" advice. Good luck.
  • acdiiacdii Member Posts: 753
    I have an '09, and there indeed is a whine from the electric motor, but not while accelerating under moderate to heavy as you describe.

    What you need to do is schedule a road trip with the CERTIFIED hybrid technician, not the service manager! You do the driving and point out exactly what you hear, when you hear it and tell him or her that you did not hear that sound until the day you had to do a panic stop. Then if he says it is normal, find out if they have another hybrid on the lot and prove it one way or another with a road test in it. This is the only way you will get any service done if you believe there is something wrong. Just keep in mind, warranty work does not pay the bills at the dealership, and most are reluctant to spend the time needed for a repair of this nature.

    Now for My car, 2009 TCH, I get wind noise on the drivers side, does anyone else have this? I also have a sticky sun roof.
  • fun4shoppingfun4shopping Member Posts: 5
    My 2009 TCH has the same problem. Sticky sunroof. Bring it back to the dealer and they will fix it. It was an alignment issue. Wind noise on the driver side. It is come and go for me. I just notice that the noise is gone if I turn off the air vent at the left hand side close to the window. I am thinking it is the fresh air vent from the outside that make the noise? I may be wrong. :)
  • trichtrich Member Posts: 1
    have a 08 THC about same mileage, same problem. Had to demand tech ride with me and he admitted to hearing it. Right front wheel bearing was bad and had to be replaced.
  • pdxsk8pdxsk8 Member Posts: 8
    A couple days ago my wife started up our 2007 Hybrid Camry with ~30,000 miles which we keep in the garage and after the usual delay the gas engine started up but it was accompanied by a loud fluttering or flapping sound and the vehicle was shaking. For safety and to limit any damage, she shut the car off after a few seconds of this.

    I looked under the hood and couldn't find any obvious problems (belts, oil level) however I also didn't really know what to look for.

    Later that day I tried turning the car on and this time we recorded it. The same thing happened. We were pretty concerned and had it towed to the dealer. Of course once it got to the dealer service, the problem had disappeared! They couldn't find anything wrong...no error codes and no mechanical problems after 2 days and apparently 3 technicians checking it out. They said come pick up the car, but we are worried if this poses any sort of safety problem.

    So here is the video...and you'll want to focus on the audio...any idea what is wrong that the service center wouldn't be able to find?

    Thanks!
  • acco20acco20 Member Posts: 211
    The service dept. has access to the internet....have you had them listen to the youtube video???
  • acdiiacdii Member Posts: 753
    Well I was going to say a cat got in there, but I didn't hear a screech. Did you open the hood and watch the engine when it did this to see where the noise was centralized? That would be the most helpful on this kind of problem.
  • PF_FlyerPF_Flyer Member Posts: 9,372
    Has it repeated since the service department couldn't hear it? If it hasn't, maybe there was something under the hood that got thrown off of where ever it was stuck. It sure sounded like something flapping around on a belt
  • pdxsk8pdxsk8 Member Posts: 8
    Thanks for the responses.

    Yes the service department watched the video and they were pretty surprised by the sound, enough so that they forwarded the link to various folks in their department and apparently to Toyota.

    Looking back, I wish I had opened the hood and then turned the car on (instead of looking with the car off). Our thought process at the time was we didn't want to create more of a problem having it running.

    The car is still at the dealer waiting for a response from Toyota. If they don't have any other ideas, I'll pick it up and know to pop open the hood while running if it happens again.
  • mcastmcast Member Posts: 1
    I was wondering if there has been any sort of resolution on this issue. My wife just complained about this just this morning. It happened once about 3 months ago and when I called the dealer to find out if they were aware with such a problem they basically told me that all engines vibrate. Right then I knew what I was going to dealing with. It hadn't done it since, except for today. As I searched through the internet, I ran onto your post, so if you find something out please post.
    Thanks for documenting your issue...
  • rover13rover13 Member Posts: 2
    Thanks for the video. About two months ago, my 2007 Hybrid Camry made exactly the same sounds and was shaking. It did that when the gas engine started in the morning. I turned off the car, considered my options, and started the car again. It worked fine and has been fine since then. But that metal-on-metal chattering was not a sound easy to forget. And the shaking suggested the car was suffering a calamity.

    I love the car. It is smooth and quiet. I think it is a brilliant invention. But the fact that you could make a video of exactly what happened with my car makes me think there is a problem that I hope Toyota will help us fix.
  • pdxsk8pdxsk8 Member Posts: 8
    Interesting several others have experienced the same loud fluttering I did. The dealer service never found the problem. They forwarded my video to a Toyota Field Technical Specialist and he said something like "there is a flexible coupling between the trans axle and the engine, and when you stop the vehicle right when the engine comes on, the injectors are still spraying fuel in there and it can do what you are talking about." The FTS had the service dept do "a couple tests on it" but apparently nothing came back out of the ordinary so they had me pick it up.

    I have been driving it for just about 2 weeks now and the issue has not returned, but my wife doesn't want to drive it and I keep wondering if and when it will resurface.

    I have considered trying another service center (there are a few different Toyota dealers around here), but wonder if it is worth the hassle. Is there anyone at Toyota we should contact?
  • pat85pat85 Member Posts: 92
    The TCH is supposed to use zero weight oil. Is it possible that a heavier weight oil is the source of the unusual sound ?
  • acdiiacdii Member Posts: 753
    I highly doubt that, the noise and vibration is external to the engine itself. I have blown a few engines in my time, they don't make that kind of noise once, and then run quiet. :)

    How do you know it's external to the engine ?
  • acdiiacdii Member Posts: 753
    How do you know it's external to the engine ?

    That's easy, the noise it made, if it were internal, there would be parts sticking out of the block by now. Any engine that makes that kind of noise, will never run quiet again if it was internal. Like I said, I blew a few motors in my time, and worked on them for a living for quite a few years, you get attuned to certain sounds. Besides, the second part, the vibration that accompanied the noise, engines that make noise on start up, don't vibrate, they clatter, or blow apart, but never do they make noise and vibrate, then start up and run smooth afterwards, it is just not possible. My guess is an issue between the ICE and the electric motor used to spin up the ICE, if one is out of phase with the other, it can do exactly what was described.
  • pat85pat85 Member Posts: 92
    Lets suppose the noise was due to a heavier weight oil. As the engine heats up, the oil becomes more viscous and the engine now runs fine. Where do, you get your oil changed ?
  • pdxsk8pdxsk8 Member Posts: 8
    We've gotten the oil changed at the dealer every time. We've taken it in for all recommended service in the manual.

    Someone else told me they thought it could be "the starter" (although not knowing exactly how the engine starts in the hybrid) and the explanation that pat85 has of "an issue between the ICE and the electric motor used to spin up the ICE" sounds the most plausible to me right now.

    I was just wondering if you've ever had a resolution on this. I just had this happen to me on Sunday. I have a 2008 Camry Hybrid. I just had the 5,000 mile service done last week and have always done everything on time, at the dealer. Car has 42,000 miles on it. I took it to the dealer yesterday morning and played your video for them to show them what it sounded like. The mechanic got it on the lift and saw that the water pump was leaking coolant. Since they couldn't replicate the sound (it's been fine since making the noise) they said that the faulty water pump could have caused the noise. They replaced it under the powertrain warranty at no charge. I'm not convinced that it was caused by a water pump. I'm of the opinion that the water pump was damaged by the engine shaking violently.

    I know it's been a while since you posted this, but if you get this and have had this happen since or ever found out what was wrong, please let me know. I drive a lot for work and now I'm afraid that I'll end up stranded somewhere in a car that is supposed to be one of the most reliable out there. Let me know, thanks.
  • rover13rover13 Member Posts: 2
    I saw that video and responded that I had exactly the same experience with my 2007 Camry Hybrid. I am happy to tell you that the problem has not yet occurred again. I would be even happier if Toyota would tell us what causes the problem.
  • pdxsk8pdxsk8 Member Posts: 8
    tkethumper, I have not had this happen again. The dealer service never found anything wrong. Just prior to this happening to me in March, I had twice turned the car on, moved it a short distance before the gas engine turned on and turned the car off. As I hit the power button to turn it off both times, the gas engine started to kick in for a fraction of a second. (I was backing the car out of the garage in the morning and back in garage in the afternoon.) I told the dealer this and they thought the car should be designed to handle this. But the Field Technical Specialist did mention "when you stop the vehicle right when the engine comes on, the injectors are still spraying fuel in there and it can do what you are talking about."

    So I am wondering did you (or anyone else that experienced this issue) previously shut the car off just as the engine was turning on?
  • tkethumpertkethumper Member Posts: 10
    Yes. I was visiting my dad for the weekend. I parked the car Friday night, then got up Saturday and had to move it to the end of the driveway so he could get his car out. I didn't touch it again until Sunday morning when I started it up to drive 3 hours home. When I moved it down the driveway (about 15-20ft) the gas enginer either didn't come on or just came on when I shut it off. However, I've done this before and never had an issue like this. Maybe it was just that exact timing like you mentioned. It hasn't happened since and has been running smooth. I've been careful since to only shut it off when the gas engine has been running or I'm in full electric mode.

    I appreciate the response. I'm relieved to hear that it hasn't happened again. I've been going back and forth all week about whether or not to trade this in and get a new car before it becomes a major issue. I love the car and have had no problems other than this and the dealer putting a gash in my leather seat during a service visit(which they replaced free of charge). Hopefully we've discovered what causes it and can avoid it now. A scary lesson, but nevertheless, a lesson learned.
  • pdxsk8pdxsk8 Member Posts: 8
    Very interesting that you also just had the car on for a short time with the gas engine perhaps just starting up when you turned it off. That sounds like the common item. Like you I am careful not to shut it off until the engine has turned on and been running at least 5 seconds. This seems like a corner case that Toyota didn't test fully; I wish they could reproduce it so others wouldn't have the same problem.
  • ikaikamuteikaikamute Member Posts: 1
    Very happy (not really though) to see that I am not the only one with this issue; and like some of you have experienced, Toyota service techs still are unable to provide a reason or solution as of this writing. I currently have my vehicle at the dealership and will get them to watch the video. However, it is really unnerving to see after these many years they have not found a definitive cause given its clear chain of events. Push the break in, push the power button, wait for the ICE to kick in and then bang there is your noise. It seems like such a small area to inquire into? However, I guess I would like to say that in my case the video was essentially identical to the noise and steps taken in video; however, I did let the car run a little longer and the thunking sound bogged down to where the car almost sputtered off, but then quickly started to rev back up which the thunking also did as well until the point where the engine started running like normal and the noise stopped. I then smelled kind of a gasoline/smoke scent in the cabin and saw a little white smoke go out my tailpipe, much like you would see if you overchoked a lawnmower/tractor. So there may be some validity to the gas injector theory mentioned earlier. However, with such a violent thunk/shake of the vehicle it has to be causing harm to something which will most likely lead to costly repair or leaving a loved one stranded somewhere someday. I'd like to get a list or number of folks that have experienced this same issue (I believe I saw approximately 570 people have viewed the You Tube video) and take this issue up the food chain a little further as I feel this really is not an acceptable operation quirk. Thank you for your posts and would appreciate any further insight or possible remedy.
  • pdxsk8pdxsk8 Member Posts: 8
    @ikaikamute, I originally reported this issue here back almost exactly a year ago and posted the video on YouTube. Since then my wife said it briefly happened once (where it started shaking after the ICE kicked in). Based on what the service department recommended, she planned to let it run instead of shutting it off, however it went away after a couple seconds and then the car seemed fine.

    @ikaikamute, It sounds like you let it run and got more symptoms. Had you previously started the car only to shut it off just before or just after the ICE kicked in? This seems to be a common item between my case and at least one other reported in this forum. Besides you and I, I counted three others that reported the issue: user "mcast" had it happen a couple times, "rover13" reported it once, and "tkethumper" reported it once and also had previously shut off car quickly. Also possibly a fourth on YouTube, user "diggitydo41" said they had the same issue.

    Thanks for the post and for the video pdxsk8!! I am going through this exact thing right now and could not believe there was a video on it. After reading the thread I wanted to post that last night i moved my car from the driveway into the garage and then this afternoon the noise exactly like the video. That seems to be a link possibly?
    I have not tried starting it again since reading this and letting it run. I am going to wait until my husband gets home so i can video this with the hood open like pdxsk8 had wanted to do.
    Thanks to all who took the time to post about this issue. Even if it does start to run smooth, I think this will be something I will be nervous about until they know exactly what it is.
  • no_more_bsno_more_bs Member Posts: 5
    What a coincidence. I had to have my waterpump replaced yesterday on my 2007 TKH. It just so happens I have had 5 occasions on which the same violent shaking has occurred with my vehicle. The toyota people swear this is the first time they ever heard of such a problem and no one can explain what the cause is. Thanks very much to all who captured the video of this obvious defect. Now I have some better tools to demonstrate to the dealer what is happening.
  • no_more_bsno_more_bs Member Posts: 5
    As added followup to your post (kingstril and ikaikamute) the violent shaking demonstrated on my 2007 camry hybrid was first observed upon turning off the engine after running the vehicle. The subsequent occurances were all upon starting or with a start and rapid shut down.

    One question for both of you. Have either observed numerous occurances of engine not being ready (shift to park first message) if you go through sequence too fast. My unit seems to require a very deliberate slow sequence of brake on, push start button, wait 1-2 seconds, shift out of park. Any deviance/simultaneous action/ or failure to wait causes warning message.

    Note, I found another video on youtube with the same issue. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRY7eHgOJT­c . It seems there IS a pattern here. So how do we get Toyota to address the issue? For now just don't shut the car off until after the ICE has been on for at least 30 seconds.
  • mjmeansmjmeans Member Posts: 1
    Hi,
    Just wanted to know if you ever got this issue resolved. I am having the same problem. Service dept. says they have not seen it before, the panel is rivet in so should not be a problem. At the time I went in, parts from overseas were in short supply and not soon coming because of the earthquake and tsunami.
    I've considered using strips of felt to cushion the filter, but thought I'd ask first.
    Thanks for your input.

    My 2009 TCH also began to knock and rattle on occasion. It occurred for the first time this past winter. The car sat idle for a day or so. When I started the car, the engine rattled and knocked as though it wasn't getting any oil. It happened again also a cold start after it had been idle for three days and the temperatures were more spring like. I discussed it with my mechanic and he really had know ideas but like me wondered if the engine was getting oil. I might try using a thinner viscosity oil. I currently use 5W-20 which is approved for THC. I may change to 0W-20. I currently have 53000 miles on my TCH.

  • PF_FlyerPF_Flyer Member Posts: 9,372

    I've had vehicles that were prone to be a bit noisy at first after sitting without running for a period of time. Not sure that thinner oil is the solution. What's happening is gravity doing it's thing and oil working it's way down to the oil pan. As long as your oil level is OK and the oil pump is functioning properly, it's sort of normal for the sound of the engine to be a little different until the oil pump gets things moving around again. It's usually a couple of seconds for me, maybe longer, depending on the temperature. If the noise doesn't stop for an extended period of time, double check your oil levels before moving on to try and diagnose an oil pump issue.

    I am so glad I found this thread. I have an 07 TCH and I just started having this issue. It just started recently getting cold here in FL but I also just did my first oil change on the car since I have had it. I only have 105,000 miles and the whole racking noise is really bad when I first start up. I thought it had something to do with the oil but I put in 0w20 like the manual says. Has anyone found a solution to this issue? My car also like bucks really bad in reverse as well I suppose if you try and back up before it is warmed up. It does it almost every time we start it and seems like one of these times it might not start. Looking for any advice or suggestions!
  • jojo181jojo181 Member Posts: 2
    Has anyone found a solution to this problem yet? My vehicle initially  intermittently does this. Now it does it the whole time at startup. The engine will momentarily start up then shut off! It will not stay running! 

    I would take it back to the dealer but the local dealer has done me wrong so I refuse to go to them.

    My vehicle has 243,000 and was running really strong until this problem resurfaced and stayed! 
  • jojo181jojo181 Member Posts: 2
    I fix my problem!!! The symptoms were exactly like on the video. The car would shake/shudder violently.

    My stand alone OBD2 code reader could not read the code but my BAFX Product Bluetooth (See Pic...Highly Recommended) using The PRO TORQUE APP ($5) easily pinpointed the location of the issue.

    My code was P0352... P0352 2007 TOYOTA CAMRY - Ignition Coil 2 Primary/Secondary Circuit

    Read more: https://www.autocodes.com/p0352_2007_toyota_camry.html

    I had switched the COP to another location but the issue still remain on Coil 2. I then changed the spark plug and still the issue persisted.

    It took me awhile but I finally noticed that one of the wire on the COP connector was NOT FULLY seated. I pushed the wire back and the car started right up WITHOUT the shake/shudder!

    Hope this helps someone!
