Re: 06' Avalon interior "rattles" and "pops"- anyone have them?
I have a rattle coming from above the front passenger's head, ahead of the sunroof. Perhaps it is the headliner slapping against the roof as another user posted his was doing that in the rear. It is the most annoying, occurring every time I hit a minor bump in the road. Also, there is a 'foily' crinkling sound that comes from my dash pad just ahead of the steering wheel...if I grab that piece and squeeze it or move it up and down, it is easy to replicate... this one I hear over every decent size bump in the road.
If I take it to the dealer and demonstrate these, will they have to fix them under warranty (I have about 6k miles left).
Ditto ditto ditto on how much the Nav joystick (and overall interface) are. I like the moving map for location awareness, but using the system to navigate is a pain. I usually just end up using VZ Navigator on my phone which is worlds better (minus only the large the moving map) for entry, searching, flexibility, freedom (not restricted while moving), and for spoken directions including pronounced street names. For $10 per month, it would take me 200 months to equal the cost of the factory Nav which just happened to be in the '06 Limited I purchased.
