Noise Problems - 2003 Corolla CE

[Sharon]

I have owned my 2003 Corolla CE since August, 2002. I am plainly disgusted due to noises cropping up everywhere. I've had it back to dealership dozens of times; seems one spot gets fixed and another crops up. Biggest problem right now is a terrible "clicking/snapping" noise somewhere in the front on the driver's side, sounds like under the hood. Seems to be temperature related - no sound til somewhere between -5C and lower. The lower the temperature, the more frequent and louder the sound; noise on every ripple/bump in the road. When milder temperatures, sound is gone. I am so annoyed - dealership cannot seem to help me; they do not know how to cure this. Can anyone out there help me? Does anyone know of a similar problem with these cars or did I get the only dud? Please help. This is very hard on my nerves. I thought I was buying a quality vehicle - not so sure now.

The fit and finnish that I have observed on both the 8th and 9th(yours) Generation Corollas is excellent.

Quality control is below previous levels lots of loose parts and cheap plastic clips.
