2011 Prius - Shake, rattle and roll - well mainly rattle.

[Arragonis]

Anyone else with a 2011 Prius with a rattly interior ? Mrs A's 4K old model seems like a lot of the inside is coming loose, especially inside the dash. Any tips on where these could be coming from ?

I don't usually like to link to other forums but there is a long thread on Priuschat (Geniii main forum) with a few different fixes depending on where your rattle is coming from. I think the most common location is the glove box. Most fixes include adding a layer of felt between panels.

I don't have a geniii or else I'd better describe the fix for you. At least I know it can be done.

If it's rattling take it to the dealer for service! Don't try to Do it yourself. until you've addressed it through the dealer. If other owners are having issues then it's most likely addressed in the dealer.

I have been telling Mrs A that every time she moans about it, but she wants me to see what I can do as we have no spare days to take it in at the moment

Also not impressed with Toyota dealers generally so far.

Hold out for the Dealer- they'll muller your warrenty if any signs of the dash being disassembled!

as for hating toyota dealers..bad luck-you've got two!

Nothing would surprise me with the dealers - the two near us are actually the same group.

Anyway its a lease car, so they can argue with the fleet company over any warranty issues.

Thanks to the linked posting above, I added some thin rubber feet to the tailgate buffers, the centre console "bridge" and to the exsting rubber buffers behind the upper and lower glovebox doors - much quieter now. The one remaining rattle is from inside the dash behind the steering wheel - I suspect something which should be clipped or insulated inside is loose and not covered.
