I took my 2014 FRS to the dealer earlier today (5/23/14 at 0730), as I was scheduled. I took it last week and said the issue with the chirping noise was a high pressure fuel pump.

They called me at lunch time; said the mechanic was about to change the fuel pump when he reviewed the TSB and re-checked the VIN of my car. My car's VIN, he said, do not fall within those VIN numbers reported on the TSB with this issue. He called-up Toyota and Toyota advised him NOT to replace the fuel pump. Toyota said this is normal sound.

The mechanic then had a new stock 2014 (? he claims -since I didn't see it) FRS and open the hood and compared it side-by-side with my car. He reported it HAD the SAME noise.

For my fellow Scion FRS and Subaru BRZ owners/drivers - WHAT DO YOU THINK???
