    I had a squeak driving me nuts that came from the trim piece around the crawl control area. Tore off a small piece of a business card and stuck in there, squeak gone. Hope that helps. Oh, also 5500 miles.

    It's the passenger speaker cover for me. It actually has a wear spot on the A pillar trim from it rubbing. Also at 5k.

    My 2017 had the same issue. Sounded like it was coming from driver side, but ended up being the passenger side speaker cover. Probably just a coincidence, but it started after my first trip to the dealer for my oil change/inspection

    Does that trim just pop off? My '18 just started rattling from that area today.

    I have same rattle & vibration from passenger side dash. Dealer fixed it on my last service but started doing it again 2 weeks later. Goes away in afternoon when warms up and parts expand. Driving me nuts! Legendary Toyota quality huh?

    Mine had a similar rattle...

    Removed driver A-pillar trim and speaker grille and re-installed with a 10X10mm piece of 2mm neoprene between the two parts...not a peep since.
