Dash rattle TSB needed !

[cdavidhess]

I just had my dash rattle fixed today per the above mentioned TSB. My rattle occurred in warm temperatures particularly when I first start out in 1st gear.

The funny thing is that the dealer originally told me that it would take 1 or 2 days to fix the rattle and that I would have to leave the car for that period. It turns out that the repair took 1 hour. The rattle is gone.

that's not really unreasonable. until the TSB was released, they would have to search the car for the source of the issue. once Toyota says "hey, the rattle problem is this and here is how to fix it," they no longer have to go through the problem of diagnosis and can perform the predetermined repair.
