can i get feedback by anyone who has had any of these TSB's done on their Solara 4 cyl...

i would like to know what TSB you had done, what they actually did for the fix and any thoughts you had on whether this fixed the problem or not....

Thanks!!

I turned mine in for the left drift, they did an alignment, and though it helped, it still pulls.

i am specifically interested in these:

BO017R-03, MAR 04, Interior - Trim Panels Loose/Fit Poorly
AU002-04, FEB 04, Audio System - Poor Radio Reception
ST002R-04, MAR 04, Steering/Suspension - Vehicle Pulling to The Left

if anyone has had any of these done, what did the dealer do to fix it and did it actually help....

Thanks a lot!!

The left drift issue has been discussed extensively. See:

Here are links to the left drift TSB's:

as long as you dont expect for them all to apply to your cars then thats good----there are certain guidelines for which tsb's apply to which cars---even 2 seemingly identical cars might not have the same tsb's apply to them

Agreed. Mine does not at all have the left drift problem, nor any kind of noise or rattles. I guess mine came after those fixes were implemented in the production line.

Do you know you car's production date. My was in March 04 and I purchased the car in April. I haven't had any problems that are descired in the TSB's. A month ago I notice that my brake was loose, I had a lot of horizontal play. Took it to the dealership and said it was normal. Are u having this issue at all?

thx, june

I just noticed the leak today as I drove to work in pouring rain. The bad thing is that the leak is coming from under the pillar tweeters. Makes me wonder how long they'll last..
