Friends: 0 | I have the car for a week and started to hear a rattling noise in the passenger side dashboard. I think it's where the smooth part near the windshield meets the textured part. I will check it out further. |

Friends: 24 | Mainly when the car is cold. Once heated they go away. Can't wait till it is below zero. |

Friends: 12 | +1 on the cool weather and in addition, mine did not start until I increased my tire pressure to 37/36 for increased MPG. I fully expected it to happen since your tires do a lot of work towards shock absorption. |

Friends: 0 | I've heard two different rattling sounds, one from the drivers side dashboard and one what seems to around the glove box. I told Toyota and my dealer. The dealer has been nice but says, understandably, they need to hear the sounds. I'm about to take it in for it's second oil change and will pray the sound occurs when I take the service guy for a ride. |

Friends: 0 | I have also noticed more noises when the car is cold and then it gets much quieter when it warms up. Definitely the main noise seems to be coming from the passenger side door. |

Friends: 3 | Seriously, my first car, a VW beetle, probably had less rattle noises than my Prius, or maybe the engine and wind noise was so loud on it that I wouldn’t notice. Anyway, if you have not noticed rattle noises in your 2010 yet, that’s because you drive in very good roads. The rattling is absolutely outrageous and it keeps getting worse, maybe because of colder temperatures as some has pointed out. I brought this up during my 5K service and the technician interrupted me to say that they have got lots of complaints about it and there is not much they can do to help. |
