2004 Toyota Corolla XEI from Chile - Comments

Crackling noise in the roof lining.

Rattles and noises in the dash.

Rattle in the driver side door.

Rattling in the back of the car.

Very loud engine at 3.600 RPM (120 km/h in fifth gear). Dissapears if you go under or over 3.600 RPM. Normal for all new Corollas (according to Toyota service).

Bought a new car and from the first day had rattles, noises coming from the roof, doors, dash etc.

Went to service several times, each time they fix one rattle appears a new one.

The engine is so loud at 3.600 RPM it is impossible to drive the car at 120km/h (72mph). The moment you pass the 3.600 RPM (4.000 RPM for example) the loud engine sound dissapears.

Toyota service confirmed that it's normal for all corollas.

Corolla really feels comfortable, easy to maneuver, with enough space for a driver (I'm 1.91m high) and passengers.

My previous car was Toyota Echo. It managed 150km/h with less engine noise than Corolla at 120km/h.

I think you got some problems with your car, because I just bought a corolla (malaysia) 1.5 months ago, and till now, not even a problem that ou mentioned match my car. the car was so silent, the dashboard is very stable, no noise, the whole car was so silent as the noise insulation is so good. OK, the engine is a bit loud at higher rpm, but it is still acceptable, becoz our malaysian proton is even much much much more louder as if the engine was about to fall apart from the car. but doing a 120 is not a problem, the engines will stay soft n silent if you rev it patiently, dun step the gas so hard to raise the rpm. believe it o not?... I try my altis, corolla to 180km/j (112.5mph). no problem and it tell me, she want moreee...

I like the interior furnishing, with wood grain and double tone,.. so luxury.. but, my dad's driving a 2004 e-class benz, so he feel nothing when I praise my car infront of him...

I have had similar rattle issues with my Toyota though mine is a Camry. The car is great except for this. Toyota needs to look into this.
