Default Re: Rattling air vent

Man you TCH guys are picky !!!

I have owned 16 new or used cars in my lifetime, and NEVER has any of them been completely "rattle/buzz/squeak free".

Those cars include:

1976 Dodge (Mitsubishi-built) Colt
1992 Infiniti Q45
1991 Toyota Cressida
1987 Toyota Cressida
1998 Honda CR-V
1996 Toyota Camry LE
1997 Chevy Suburban LT
1993 Geo Prizm
1989 Nissan Maxima
1994 Nissan Maxima
2002 Chevy Avalanche
2004 Honda Civic Hybrid
2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid

Maybe TCH owners are "too expectant" of getting the "perfect car" or something.

Or maybe since the TCH is SO VERY QUIET, every little noise stands out more than in other cars.

I have heard little rattles and buzzes here and there, but I have not considered:

A. Wasting my and the dealer's time "fixing" them, or
B. Changing cars because of a little rattle here and there.

My recommendation is to take a chill pill on these issues and don't let them bother you.
