everytime after I park my park and turn off the engine and get out from it, I always hear this noise coming from the front portion of the car. it sounds to me like some kind of metal squeaking noise.
I do know that the moment when I step out from the car, the car is moved back and forth a bit, however, this noise still appears even if I pull the hand brake and the car is not moving back and forth.
does anyone experience the same noise issue as I do and is this something I should be concerned about? thanks for your help.
It could be your rad cooling fan, rubbing on the shroud or road debris. Open the hood and attempt to narrow the exact location of the noise. If the car is shut off, I can't think of anything else that is still operating, aside from the cooling fan. MVB in Barrie, Canada
I assumed it was either the brake or suspension, it happened to mine too when i parked unlevel pavement area. or when it carry more ppl. If u could bring back to the dealer and seek for info. thks. i want to know too
My 05 Corolla XRS ( not sure if it is the same for the 04 S, but my previous 04 S had nothing like this so I am not positive) came with a tag hanging from the stick shifter, which said that once you turn the car off, the car runs diagnostics and engine check so don't be alarmed if the engine has some sounds generating while it is turned off. It could be that, but I would suggest double checking with Toyota.

Woah. That's interesting, never heard of that kind of thing before.
If the XRS is drive-by-wire, it could be something to do with that, but I don't think it is.
Is it kind of a ticking noise.?? If its from the exhaust manifold area, it probably just the metal making noise from the heat. I had a car that would tick like that after I shut it off. It's no biggie...

Corolla XRS is still mechanically driven because of the high performance aspirations.
Nevertheless, the diagnostic check tag that was hang from my stick shifter must be in the other trim levels as well. It also said that the computer runs engine diagnostics at different intervals. It could be running even 3 or 4 hours after the car was parked.
