Hi Well after 6 months of quiet motoring my dash has developed the dreaded rattle I phoned the dealer and was told there are two rattle fixes one is on a recall , I think. They said they will road test and if it is one type, its dash out and two day jopb else its a small job ( an hour at most)anyone had similar experience

Being an ex' cop car Ive got a heaps of rattles from the dash and center consile...i rang my local dealer and they recon its unfixable unless i wanted to take it in an get the hole dash taken out. They also said this costs a fair bit so i opted to live with it for a wile <_<

Why did you get an ex cop car...? :o

Anyway besides the console, check the engines coz i've seen a red aurion was revving it good trying to chase down a speeding driver over at Sunnybank hills... ;)

Well its an 07 done 40k and i got it for 23000 so thats reasonably good. i wouldnt have spent anymore than that seeing im only 18 :D so i was pretty happy stepping into an aurion for that!!! :D

had the car road tested Toyota have issued a recall on all cars with a certain type of rattle ( mine has it) It is due to the clips that hold the dash to firewall expanding and then the dash is free to dance about So its a two day dash out for job mine

Does it sound like its the very front of the dash?

Mainly on rougher roads?

kinda sounds like the dash is hitting the windscreen?
