Service Notes For Tacoma
Anyone know where the service notes or any recall information is on the Tacoma"s.. I noticed a small rattle in my front dashboard too! After quietly reviewing a few threads this looks to be acceptable to a few owners. I disagree.
After paying 20 plus thoousand for a new pickup it shouldn't start rattling after two years..And I baby it!!! No offroading yet!

rattled
I know what you mean about the rattle but for the dealer to fix it they told me the entire dash has to be taken apart. I think you will end up with more rattles and squeeks after that is done. They might fix one and you end up with 10 more. Just my 2 cents. The problem is, is that it should not be there in the first place.
To fix mine I took a piece of pipe insulation and cut it down to about 1/2" wide and as long as the dash. Then stuffed it between the dash and the wind shield. The insulation is a dark grey color and you can not even tell that it is there. The rattle is gone and did not have to take the dash apart.
What ever you decide to do keep us posted.

My 2003 started squeaking a couple weeks after I had it, and I've only had it about a month!! Doesn't squeak all the time, but it's annoying when it does! Just crank up the tunes when it starts :-)
Later.
Later.

I have a slight rattle in the back of the pasenger compartment. I havenot checked it out yet. I think that I am going to find that it is something stored behind my back seat. I do have the rattle in the dash like some of you mentioned. I don't really want someone taking my whole dash appart.

I too have had some rattles in the dash that have not tracked down. Also, I sometimes hear a loud pop, but that turned out to be my keychain remote hitting the dash.:pig:
