Has anyone experience a noise, right when the car is cool and is shifting the first time. They told me at the Dealer that is the computer reseting. But I want to double check here.

I do hear the same noise when starting it cold is like a "chirping noise" not I haven't ask the dealer yet but I was about to call.... I find it hard to believe it would be a computer reset... I'll let you know what they tell me once I've asked the question and hopefully they'll tell me the same thing.

Hey Guys,

I've not had any of these 'ills" from day 1 (August 10th 2009). Could the chirping be the automatic hill/grade feature alert when in reverse and on a grade?
Good luck!

I dont have that noise your are describing but I do have the noise of like knocking in the engine when I first start the Venza from a cold start. Does anyone else have that issue?

If it's not any more than a click it's most likely just your injectors. Now if it's a loud knock or thud, then I'd be concerned.

I do seem to recall there being a ticking noise TSB for some early build 09's with the 2GR-FE but that is VIN dependant.

it might be the VSC/ABS system self diagnosis noise. the system activates the pump to check that al systems are running at ever startup.

You know what, I take what I said back. I've noticed this noise too. It's on the 1-2 shift from a stop, and only when the vehicle has been sitting overnight and very cold. Only happens once and not any other time.

It could be a driveline vibration, or it could be a self-check of some sort, but I doubt it because it's an audible clunk. I really don't know, but I'd like it to be fixed because it's quite disconcerting.
