Tried searching, didn't find anything, thought I'd post.
Our 2005 L had a 'ticking' (metal on metal, very distinct, almost like a geiger counter) from the moment I drove it off the lot. Almost turned around, but we wanted the car, and it was an hour drive home. Figured we would just bring it back and have it checked. Did so, they said they needed some "new clips," ordered those, went back AGAIN today (2nd trip), problem remains, now they want it for a whole day, which will be next week.
The noise dissapears around curves (body flex) and does not modulate with car speed. It's very annoying, but now I am concerned about the dealership dissassembling major parts of the car, or worse - doing some 'jerry-rig' fix to stop the noise without solving the problem.
Thoughts?
We love this car, but this rattle is enough to "rattle" our perception of Toyota's legendary build quality.
