    I hope I didn't already ruin the engine i red lined it like 5 times since I got it and I didn't realize that the manual says not to drive it at excessive speeds for the first 1000 miles. I hope I didn't f$@& it up already

    It's just to wear the cylinders evenly. If you don't do it anymore for the rest of the 1000, you'll be fine.

    I'm starting to hear a Rattling up on the drivers side dash near the Windshield, I'm gonna have Toyota tear apart the dash and find out whats Rattling, I didn't just buy a new car to hear a rattling sound.

    Do you guys think I will have a problem getting them to do that?

    Nope. They bill the 2009 as the quietest Corolla ever. It should live up to that.

    Just tell them when it's happening. What speed, if it happens when the car is still cold or after it warms up, if it happens only when it's been parked in the shade or in the sun(the interior panels may be expanding/contracting) and where you can best determine the noise is coming from.

    Keep an eye on it for a couple days and try and see if you've got a pattern or set of variables that coincide with the noise. You've got plenty of warranty left, lol, so a couple days won't hurt. When you go in, offer to ride along with a tech to help point out where the sound is.

    Thanks.


    Why did it take a while for you to "Break In" the car? :ninjastea:
    On a more serious note, they really have to live up to the new corolla being quiet, but of course, we shouldnt believe anything on tv now should we....
