I just noticed a rattle coming from the front passenger door. Hear it as I accelerate/break on a smooth road. Basically anytime there is tension/torque on the frame.
Anyone else notice this?

I have a service appt next week. I'll ask them to take a look.I have this too! Exact same as you describe, only happens when you brake or accelerate, it's more obvious at slower speeds with less road nose.
I gave the inner panel a few hammer punches which helps but it comes back.
Where is this on the car?I'm dealing with this issue too, it's real bad on less smooth roads (ratteling) then creaks under hard acceleration. I have had 4 or 5 appointments and do far they have found 3 or 4 broken clips a harness that needed the clip pins expanded to stay in place and possibly something missing to hold another harness connector that was loose, that the mobile tech taped in place.

Still rattles way more than the 18 year old h Highlander we are trying to sell...
Im starting to think the only way to solve the issue is to sell the car and but another one...
That is the passengers side front door panel.Where is this on the car?
when I went to pop it back into place it looks like the service department marred it up... Makes me hesitant to keep taking the car back. While the damage is minimal and in a not very noticeable area it's still annoying
I'll bring up the damaged trim when I take it in for the rattles. My fear is that they might mess something else up fixing this piece. I will remind them that they probably accessed that panel when my backup camera was showing a blank. Otherwise I have no idea why they would go in there?I always have the service center fix these issues even if it is as minimal as this one... I've had them replace a lot of trim that has had tool marks... I may expect that stuff if you went to a 3rd party mechanic that is not used to working on the car, but the manufacturer's service centers should use proper tools and procedures every time and fix mistakes that occur IMO.
