How loud is the TRD vs. the stock system? I definitely want something approach the quiet levels of stock.

The previous owner of my 2007 SE V6, replaced the exhaust system from the cat back... had a Magnaflow muffler welded in, and the pipe section w/ the resonator removed. The dealer says to replace it w/ a stock system will run around $800. Ouch. I can't stand any longer the droning noise the...

Rhino yes - I have power seats and am experiencing this in my 2007 SE w/ 22000 miles

Here's a thread from another forum that links to pictures etc for a better description of the issue I'm talking about. http://www.yotatech.com/f2/4th-gen-noise-rattle-question-27759/

I have been putting up with the annoying tapping sounds that comes from the windshield --- over bumps and at high speeds on the highway. The ones that sound like raindrops or small pebbles hitting the windshield. I read that others have isolated this to the cowl under the wipers. One solution...

Thanks thanks coolpop. glad the new one is working out. and thanks for the offer for details of your case should I need it. My dealer has been good with the one other rattle issue I brought to his attention (replaced both sunvisors) so we'll see how it goes...

In the past month or so, my 2007 SE with around 20K miles has developed a click sound that comes from somewhere beneath my driver's seat whenever I make a left or right hand turn. I occasionally hear it if I stop or accelerate quickly. I have tried to rock the seat around by hand, and by...

One of my kids pulled my 2007 SE too far into the garage yesterday and bumped into a set of metal shelves. It left two smallish parallel creases in the front bumper - right at the "corner" about 1/4 of the way along the bumper in front. The creases are roughly 3/4 inch long, 1/4 in wide, and...

I agree. We live north of Seattle. Our house is at the bottom of a 0.6 mile long 16% grade curvy hill. My 2007 had no problems going up and down it the past two weeks - including one morning with 8 fresh inches of snow on it (I made first tracks). Hill is still so bad that mail has not been...

Thank You R32! Merry XMAS to you also. I'm going to give it a shot this weekend. Wish me luck...

My 2007 Sport Edition in the last week has developed a very nasty rattle that I think is coming from behind the headliner where it meets the windshield on the driver's side. It is loud and sounds like ice pellets hitting the windshield (best way I can describe it). It occurs on modestly rough...

I just put on Revo's - had stock Dunlops prior to that. We just had a significant snow storm here in Seattle area - now the roads are glare ice in many places. The Revo's are a dream in these conditions. Uphill is NEVER a problem. Down steep hills on the glare ice they have held very well...

Re: Re: TPMS light blinking Answers: I bought the replacement sensor myself from the local Toyota dealer and hand carried it to Firestone. Firestone registered (or at least attempted to) all 5 tires including the spare. All tires (including the spare) are at 40lbs. Confirmed them all last...

Hi Had a set of new Revo's put on 6 days ago. I had to have one of the TPMS sensors replaced as one was broken. Firestone dealer did all the work. All seemed to be fine for the past 200 miles. Just tonight the TPMS light starting blinking. Pressure is fine in all the tires. Manual says...

I have just started to get a rattling/buzzing sound ever time I go over a bump (i.e manhole cover) in my 2007 SE. It seems to be coming from the passenger sun visor. It buzzes whether its open or closed. I can open it and hold on to it while driving (squeezing it w/ modest pressure) and the...
