Rattle likes a loose spring coil - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

My 08 Camry SE just reaches 20000 miles. The passenger side starts to rattle like a loose spring coil when the car go over rough road. I am not sure the rattle is from the passenger door, or the grove box near the passenger side window. I empty everything in the grove box and the passenger door pocket, but no help. The loose spring coil just make me crazy. Anyone has the same problem?

i got the same noise but on my drivers side

Under warranty? Back to the dealer.

I have seen some coil springs break.

I think the sound comes from inside. Not from the coil spring or out side of the cabinet. It is still under warranty. But I am afraid that the service department will say it is normal because it is not a safety issue.

Gentlemen. They are called Camry's they rattle. On a good note for me on another thread here someone found a big rattle issue I have the cig lighter.

Good luck and search all the posts on rattles this issue is well documented.

An I bet it sounds almost like you put some stones in a box and shake it a little

The rattle is still there. Each time when the car go over a rough surface the spring rattle noice comes from inside the passenger seat. I search on the internet and this forum, there are not too many simular case like me. Should I just bring the car back to the dealer? My car is still under 3 year warranty.

Yea it's still under warranty bring it back. I don't have that rattle but my roof pops whenever I angled in at driveway.

I've explained the roof pop issue before, since I have it also.

But where is the rattle specifically coming from? like inside the car? under the hood? underbody?

i have the same issue and im about to rip my car apart to see if i can find the problem...im so so sick of it

I brought my car to the dealership yesterday to check it out. I don't even need to do a test drive with the technician. He just knot on the back of the passenger seat and we can hear the spring noise. They found the seat track is loose, and after they adjust the track, the noise is completely gone, at least for now.

deuce106 · 09-23-2010, 07:24 PM

i took my car to the dealer on tuesday and they fixed the clips that hold the sunroof rails, now all of the noises that i had from the roof and the back seat by the c pillar is gone...
