My 2005 was in the shop for 3 squeak/rattle TSBs... the clock finisher, the right front door panel rattle and the rear window ticking...

All 3 were taken care of. I've driven down rough roads and played loud, bass-heavy music and can't hear any of the rattles. I am very happy with those results for now. It was kind of strange, driving after it was fixed... I hadn't really noticed how much they irritated me... I had gotten used to them. Little tick here or little squeak there with the bumps in the road... but no more, the cabin is quiet.



Also, my loaner was a 2004 5AT... man I missed my 2005 interior. Granted, I'm not a fan of tan, but still... it looked "aged". And those stock Turanza ER42 tires absolutely blow. I have ER33 tires on my 2005... and they've been decent, to tell you the truth. Now that they are getting worn, they are starting to lose grip... but I don't think they're worth the price, or even half the price for a treadwear 140 tire. But not as bad as those ER42s... I couldn't believe it.

I also reported the clutch-pedal-halfway-sticking-and-not-returning-to-full-position problem. They checked hydraulics and such, but couldn't find an issue since it's intermittent. At least now it's on my service records that I reported the problem. Mainly in case the clutch prematurely fails/slips.

 

Good to hear! What rear window was ticking? On the door? I wonder if I have one on the clock finisher, thought it was my sunglasses in the holder, hmmmmm........I'm taking it in Friday, lets see.........

 

Both rear windows were ticking, although the passenger side seemed more prevalent.

 

Okay, sounds like the same on mine, except the driver side is okay, I think, I can hear mine opening the door sometimes as well.
