    Hey guys I have developed a popping noise 16 TrD Sport when letting off the accelerator ie. going through a parking lot lightly accelerating and letting off the gas pedal. I can get to do it bouncing the brake pedal at slow speeds,and I can also re-create the same noise a jumping up-and-down on the rear bumper took it to Toyota today got the famous "no problem found "
    Any body else had this problem ? I just turned 7,000 miles
    it sounds suspension related to me or possiable in the drum on right rear

    I've developed the same issue with my vehicle. Same symptoms and I hear it coming from the right side of the vehicle when I'm slowing down to make left turns and also when I am backing into a parking spot. I can't tell if it's front or rear. I'm about to call to make an appointment to have it looked at. I'll make sure I have a tech ride with me so I can reproduce the sound for them.

    Also, I'm at the same mileage as you.

    Did you ever figure out what was going on with yours?

    UPDATE: Took it to the dealership today and had a tech drive around with me. Of course, the noise didn't happen as much with the tech in there, but he still heard it. It ended up being a loose radiator mount. The tech said they have had a few other 16's come in with the same problem so he knew right where to start.
