2008 Camry SE V6 with sunroof ticking / creaking / moonroof structure noise. Car has 50K miles on it. Has been in 1 slight driver side scrape accident but no crunching. Dealer says it's about 6.5 hrs labor to fix since my car is way passed the 3 year 36,000 mile warranty. TSB doesn't extend it at all.
TSB is T-SB-0088-12
My 2008 has about 49k miles on her and my Moonroof started acting up the other day. The tilt function works perfectly. It even slides out to max open, however when I attempt to close it, it closes about 2/3 of the way then it acts as if it senses something in the way and opens all the way back up. I didn't take anything apart, but didn't notice anything in the rails. I also didn't hear any sort of grinding or stalling on the motor. If the motor is going bad?

View 4 RepliesHaving problems with sunroof cover making noise when going over bumps? It just sounds like the plastic is making all the noise.
View 8 RepliesNoticed an intermittent creaking noise when the vehicle is in motion (low to moderate speed). The noise is not very loud but audible if you turn down the radio volume. It sounds like 2 hard objects rubbing against each other. I am positive it comes from the panoramic moonroof because it only happens if the moonroof is close. The noise goes away instantly if I open the moonroof ever so slightly. It has been intermittent and seems to happen at any temperature.
View 93 RepliesI have an 08 camry v6 with 31K. I noticed when I got off the highway after driving for about a 1/2 hour the engine had a loud vibrating/ticking noise when I stepped on the gas. This morning when the car was cold and I drove it locally it was fine, i also checked the oil and it's clean and full. Not sure what's going on. Also this only happened after I had the whole car painted not sure if it's related since I dont know if they take parts off to paint a whole car.
View 2 RepliesI bought a 2008 Camry SE V6 in June. So far, nice car. I even made a point to find an SE with a sunroof. However, the sunroof rattles when it's open. Of course it does. Full open or halfway open does not change the rattle much.
I've been researching this problem online since June, and I am not finding any definitive answers on how to stop the rattle.
Having issues with a creaking panoramic sunroof while its open? Its whenever i go over any bumps. I had the slight issue while it was closed but i applied some silicone to the wind visor and that prevents it from creaking while closed. Now the open issue.
View 2 Repliesi went to open my moonroof the other day and i noticed it slammed down shaking the whole headliner then rolling backwards like normal. only thing i've done to it recently was put a thin layer of grease on the rubber seal so it would stop making so much noise from the body flex; it tilts with no problem and my radar detector is very loud.

I recently purchased a 2008 Camry 4cyl with 50k miles on it, the car runs great however on colder mornings (near or below freezing) there seems to be a ticking sound coming from the engine bay. The noise matches engine rpm, it will disappear once the car has reached operating temps.
Ive poked around the forum a bit for "camry ticking or clicking when cold" and have found a few threads saying their toyota dealership told them it was normal and that even new camrys do the same noise when cold.
When I turn or go over speed bumps/drive way entries or anything that seems to move my suspension around I hear a creaking noise from what seems to be the roof of my car. It's like metal rubbing on metal and it's pretty apparent. Is this something I should be concerned about? Or something other people have had? I've had this Camry for almost a month, it has 53k miles and was a corporate fleet vehicle before I purchased it.
View 14 RepliesSo I use my sunroof pretty regularly and a week ago I opened it to an alarming creaking sound. It opened fine but when I closed it it sits. I called the dealer and even though I only have 20k miles the warranty expired 2 weeks ago. How screwed am I here?
View 3 RepliesLately, been hearing a lot of creaking noises coming from the sunroof in the closed position. I have open and closed it a few times just to make sure it was aligned improperly. Maybe it was a one-time thing from having it open on a nice day but it has been pretty consistent now. Seems to be fine otherwise, opens and closes, no wind noise when closed, etc.

View 1 RepliesI have 2008 azera and the dash is creaking noise, I tried felt tape across the length of the dash still the noise, sounds like the windshield is flexing or the dash is flexing when I take off and driving any solutions don't tell me to turn up the volume on the radio.
View 3 RepliesAfter I hit about 1k miles on my XLE I developed a creaking noise on the right side of the dash. It can be heard on all but the smoothest roads at any speed over 20-25 MPH. The rougher the road the worse it gets. At first I thought it was something in the glove box because after repositioning stuff the noise went away temporarily. When it came back I removed everything from the glove box. Having the box door open has no affect and the creaking is still present. I would describe the noise as if two pieces of plastic were rubbing on each other. I have tried applying pressure in all directions to all visible surfaces. It seems I can change the noise or temporarily stop it my pushing on the dash about one inch to the right of the NAV system one inch above the wood trim panel. This usually changes or stops the noise but not always.
Now I have been an auto tech for 30+ years and know finding and fixing rattles, wind noise etc. I figure I will attempt to fix it my self. My first thought was to remove the glove box and take a look around. Do to the 10 million air bags this does not look like an easy task. I have Michell 1 at work so I took a look at the procedure to remove the passenger side dash airbags as I could find nothing about removing the glove box. I only spent about 30 minutes today looking in Michell and partially removing some of what looks to be stopping me.
I was hoping it would be easy. If I have to pull too many pieces off I may loose the ability to find the creak. If I need to remove the air bags I will need to disable the system and drive without the system to find the noise. I suppose I could take in to the dealer to have them not fix it and f up who knows what in the process.
I bought a used 2006 Toyota Camry Sportivo from a local Toyota dealership not too long ago. Unfortunately, when I bought the car I also bought a flexing/tapping noise coming from the sunroof with it. I believe the problem here lies in the fact that the back right hand corner of the sunroof appears to have a little more play as opposed to the other side which causes a flexing/tapping noise when driving the vehicle. Toyota had the car for nearly to weeks to fix the problem, however, when I picked up vehicle it appeared that they had only lubricated all the moving parts, but not fixed the problem. The sunroof is factory fitted, so I do not think it should be making that kind of noise.
View 5 RepliesI just had a rental for the new corolla, and noticed that the moonroof rolls out immediately after you press the button.
On my 2012 camry, i would have to hold the button for it to roll out, otherwise more often than so, i hold the button and it takes a while to act on that i press the button. (or doesn't even roll)
This would be covered under warranty right?
2012 Sonata Limited... I purchased my car in November of 2011. It had allegedly been driven for 5500 miles by a salesperson at the dealership.
Within a week, both my husband and I noticed that the cruise control would simply not go on every once in a while. The dealer claims to have taken apart the cruise control, looking for problems, but says there are no problems; that I should come back in after docummenting problems more specifically.
I also continue to hear the creaking noise in the sun-roof area. Allegedly, the Body Shop adjusted the headliner clips, but I still hear creaking.
I am most concerned with the cruise control, but annoyed at the dealer for keeping my car for over two weeks and having achieved nothing. I like the car, but this kind of a start with it makes me want to sell it and go get either another Honda or a used Volvo.
Ok so I had this creaking noise at first when I press n depress the gas pedal (how normal driving should be) and I sprayed some WD40 and now the noise is gone, but it becomes kind of sticky when pressing and depressing.
It's like when u rub ur finger on a glass window back and forth, there is time when it catches ur finger (sticks) before u can move it the opposite way, it's not smooth as it used to be (my other camrys are smooth).
When pressing a little, then a little more, it has that sticky feel, same thing when depressing the pedal. That's the best I can explain it and it is really noticeable when I'm stuck in traffic.
Do u think I have a bad pedal or some white lithium grease will take care of this?
My 2007 Camry has developed a loud popping noise when sliding the sunroof open. It's as though the sunroof is getting caught under the vehicle roof before it moves to slide open. The motor labors pushing the sunroof past vehicle roof. I see no obvious obstruction. The sunroof makes no noise when going to the tilt position. I have tried the initialize process, but the problem persists.
