| Description of the problem | Bought this used toyota camry se 2013 yesterday with only 30,000 miles on it. Right away, i heard creaking noise coming from the center of the dashboard and by the front passenger side. It's not very loud but can be heard and very annoying. It's audible when car is in motion especially when stepping on the gas, brakes and when turning. Not normal for a 3 year old to have this intermittent and annoying creaking sound. I immediately researched on it and to my shock, there's a lot of blogs and posted videos on this same exact issue of creaking sound by the dashboard and front passenger seat for most vehicles of toyota regardless of model and dominant on those manufactured since 2013. Toyota should have a fix on this since this is a three year old issue. |
