I have an '09 Honda Civic LX sedan and it has numerous rattles and buzzes that occur at various times. I took it in a few months ago to the Honda dealer and they addressed some of the issues but others couldn't be duplicated at that time so no fix. Good advice to wait until the 2nd or 3rd year of a model before buying.

Mine rattles like crazy - and I baby it. I even take a longer drive to work just to avoid potholes on certain rough streets. It is very upsetting, because otherwise I love my 09 Corolla. I play music loudy to drown out the rattles.

I bought a 2011 Corolla S in May 2011 and taken it to the shop more than 4 times. I even showed them what it is when the car was on the lift: there are 2 plastic deflectors on each side of the radiator. they are by design only attached on one side and you can move them sidewards about 5 inches,  this produces a rattling noise which is the same when you drive the car on the freeway with a crosswind.

Just got back from the Toyota dealer with my '09 Corolla which had the same problem (rattle coming from passenger side dash). Turns out there IS a TSB (technical service bulletin) and a fix available. They had to order parts to fix the problem, but they were very accomodating, although they didn't tell me what the TSB number was.

My 2010 Toyota Corolla S also rattles like crazy. There appears to be rattling from the dash and the sunroof. There is also this crazy squeaking sound that comes from the back of the car and you hear the squeak over every bump in the road. I've taken it twice to the dealership and they haven't been able to fix the noises yet. I can't believe Toyota would build cars like this.

my 09 has the same issue

Rattle and squeaks are not expected on a new model. Honda and Toyota were notorious to build rattles free cars. Not anymore. This is the result of cranking up the production too fast.

Rattles have nothing to do with rental or regular customers. Lately, Toyota has a lot of complaints about rattles, which was not the case 15 years ago. Interesting to see the very soft tone when customers talk about Toyota. This explains why Toyota does not get bad ratings in Consumer Reports.

I have a 08 Elantra and from time to time i can hear rattles on the dashboard,it's because in today's vehicles,specially in small,compacts and mid size,they install too many pieces of hard plastic everywhere,door panels,dashboard,lower dashboard,dahsboard structure inside,i noticed that also when i drove the 2008 Lancer and my first impression was a black plastic interior all over the car,and with toyota i am wondering if they have lower their quality in recent years......
