The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
Since I've bought my car, at every car start up there is a noise or a rattle that is briefly audible for about 1 second then stops. When the vehicle is started again, the noise is no longer there. This only happens at vehicle start up. It sounds something similar to a winding noise. The engine in my vehicle is the exact same engine in the 2011 Toyota Camry, 2ar-fe. A tsb has been filed for the Camry however a tsb has not been issued for the Scion Tc. My current mileage is 29800. I recommend a tsb be filed for the Scion Tc 2.5L 2ar-fe so I and others with this problem could repair our vehicles. Tsb for Camry: Tsb number: Tsb-0146-10 NHTSA number: 10034924 tsb date: June 9, 2010 date added to file: February 1, 2011.
