    I have a 2016 Tacoma Sport. I just noticed a weird chirp noise when driving up steep hills and though curves. Any ideas on what this could be? The dealership is being less than helpful and I am truly about ready to sell this.... First Toyota and last Toyota

    Why would this make it your last Toyota? If one dealer isn't helpful try another. Your warranty is good at any Toyota dealer.
    By the way, nice first post.

    I didn't pay 40k for a truck that sounds like a 1974 beetle.

    Maybe a Ridgeline is more up to your expectations?

    Your description of the problem doesn't allow for much internet help. You know, it's kind of like these guys. The ones technicians really love.

    But I have to ask. Any chance you are driving around in 4H? On dry pavement that can be kinda chirpy.

    Mine makes a funny chirp/vibration noise when I go down my driveway too fast and diagonally, so I just started to go slower and go straight down. Cheapest. Fix. Ever.

    You're really paying for a 24k truck that's been loaded up with options to 40k.

    Yup. A pretty vague complaint. I think the only thing chirping in the vehicle is his wife.

    Where's the OP now... now that's he's done with the blow up doll.... get rid of the chirp... just like wheeling in sand, it's all about the air pressure!
