I've always subscribed to the 'never buy this first model' line of thinking, but the 1.0 is so sexy and I want to believe Toyota has accepted and taken care of these issues for at least the 2014s. Anyone around here have trouble-free 2014s?

thanks!

If you didn't read the forums- you'd never know there were problems... no trouble with mine. Get one- drive it. That is all.

Ok so idk how to make my own tread on here im pretty knowledgeable about cars but my frs is making a mostly random rattle sound from the front driver side sound can be just one click kinda or could be a few it sounds like a broken cv joint but their is none in the front ... It some times makes the noise when i take off and when im going around a bend but when im making a turn no noise iv tried i think everything to provoke the noise n it never works hope someone on here is smarter than me n can lead me in the right direction or just tell me wt it is thank you

I have this too.. mine is a manual trans. I bought it new with about 60 miles on it and it's done this ever since. I figured it would work itself out during the break in period, but it's still happening with almost 2k miles. It only happens when the car has just been started. The first turn from a stop that i take after a cold start has a definite grinding/vibration that seems to be coming from the rear diff. It happens at low rev starts and medium rev starts. anyone else?

So just as a update for my post if anyone reads it i figured out the issue its the driver side front fender that will make a metal clanking noise so times its random some times constant i took it to a shop n they where stumped for 2 days before they got it it will seem / sound almost like u have a tranny problem but no its just the fender moving no known fix yet but if anyone els is hearing a sound that is not constant be known it could b one of the fenders..

My AC is not blowing cold air. Should I take it to the dealer with my headers and cat back on there or should I put it back to stock?

Depend on your dealer and their thoughts on mods.
I doubt that those parts would have an impact on the A/C but if the dealer is antimod and they can find a link they will.

Eurasianman · 10-28-2014, 02:45 PM

If you can, and to be safe, I would put it back to stock. Just my opinion though.

About the only reason I would have my next schedule w'tee service done at the dealer rather than a trusted mechanic is if there is an update for the ECU.

How can I check my current version and is there an "insider" who can keep us up to date.
(I would love it if an update to rid us of the torque dip came out )

Do not take your header and cat back off for an A/C issue!!!! This is completely unrelated to your A/C not blowing cold air. Even if the dealership is antimod they have ZERO grounds to give you a hard time. If they do, Call SoA immediately and also don't tell them about the mods because it doesn't matter.

I've searched a bit and looked through the TSB list but I can't even.

Passenger door speaker is cracking / popping .. whatever you want to call it. Is there an easy fix or should I take it to the dealer for warranty work? I am no expert in sound systems, it's all stock btw.

I know it's kinda late but the passenger door speaker cracking/ popping sounds like the window switch rattle that happens when the bass hits...another common issue. You can test it by putting your finger on the window switch with loud music to see if it still makes the noise.

Thanks, it magically went away. I am about to either sell or trade it in anyway.
