Thats strange nobody else with the update model has ever complained about the rattles and sqeaks thats seem to inflict a good percentage of the "series one" cars. and first i've heard abouts sqeaks coming from the auto tilting mirror??
My upgrade ZR6 has many rattles and squeeks, something I'm quickly tiring of
The most dis-satisfying aspect of the entire car is the interior trim, plastic bits in particular, really cheapens the car unfortunately.
Although my rear vision mirror doesn't make any noise, it's as loose, so on a heavily textured surface, it's almost impossible to see anything behind you through the vibration.
My main noises seem to be:
- Plastic trim around the gear selector, squeeks like a MF !
- The lid of the centre console vibrates, need to drive with one arm constantly on it to shut it the hell up.
- The silver plastic trip (woodgrain in the Prodigy) just above the glovebox, squeeks on and off.
- Drivers grab handle next to my head, rattles on and off.
- Something in the passanger rear door rattles, not sure about the source of this one.
Going top mention something next service, but would prefer the noises as opposed to someone ripping the contents of the car apart.
I think Toyota had a bulletin out regarding squeaking from the gear lever, I would take it to the dealer to get fixed. As for the centre console lid, I had the same problem. Ended up taking both latches off and found the tension springs were rattling. Just forced some carboard underneath each spring. Seems to have fixed the problem.
I have had many problems with my 2008 zr6. Had the dash clips replaced, intermediate shaft replaced, both drive shafts replaced. The car has been to toyota about 5 times regarding dodgey transmission. Now have a problem with tranny slipping when cold which dealer is trying to identify.
