I have been working on it trying to stick pieces of felt in various places, some success. Rattle in passengers side of dashboard no idea where it is or how to fix it. Rattle on passengers side near seat but I haven't found anything loose yet, still looking. Dealers are no help with these kinds of problems at all. They usually have someone drive it around the block on nice smooth streets at 20 MPH and tell you they "tested" it and didn't find anything wrong. I have a 17 year old Chevy pickup that has fewer rattles than my new Prius. Very poor quality control by Toyota, and in a car built in Japan no less.

Friends: 0 | Re: Do you hear rattling noises? Not sure how to answer. I had one major rattle, from the center console/storage area, that I fixed by putting soft material where the little interior tray lands. So now I don't have a rattle. I do have some minor creaking from the rear hatch area but not bothersome. So do I answer yes because I had a rattle or no because I don't have one now? |

Friends: 0 | Re: Do you hear rattling noises? Mine creaks and rattles a lot and makes me hate my car. Very disappointing for me. When I was buying a Toyota(my first) I thought I was buying a superior fit and finish car. This car rattles so much it just seems like its a cheap plastic car. Reminds me of my friends Hyundai in the early 90s. My wife's civic is vastly superior in this regard...if it weren't for the rattles, I'd be pretty happy with this car, but all I wanted out of life was a quiet, efficient car (drove an old truck that rattled like crazy)...guess I should have gotten an Altima or something....maybe 20 years from now when I buy my next car they'll have this worked out... |

Friends: 0 | Re: Do you hear rattling noises? I have 2 rattles one where the passenger seat rubs against the center console, this one isn't bad as I can push on the seat foam and it will go away for 10 minutes. The other one is nasty, seems to come from the passenger side engine/front dash when the engine runs at a certain RPM somewhat intermittent but getting worse. Coming from a Hyundai I was expecting much better, the prius is most rattly car I think I've ever owned.... |
