Noises problem
2004 Toyota Sienna 6 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

Hi There,

MY 2004 Toyota Sienna Minivan GLE makes a squealing/rattling noise. It does this while idling and driving. The noise seems to go away when I drive really fast though.

ANy ideas on what the problem could be?

(it has only about 35,000km mileage)

Hi Denise2003,

You need to locate the source of the noise to understand what could be causing the noise.

Squealing are usually due to improperly adjusted drive belts tension. Knock noise could be present in some cases so it is best to get the drive belts checked.
