Other noises & leaks problem

Powertrain cooling leaks

""There was a slight leakage of coolant, it was easily repaired.""

Anonymous, CO (2017 Toyota Camry LE 2.5-L 4 Cyl)

Squeaks or rattles

""When we bought this car, we noticed that when there was rotational torque applied to the car (turning from one grade onto another, we would hear cracking around where the sunroof was. It was very disconcerting, and then we would see a dent appear on the driver side by the sunroof. It was almost if the frame was twisting, and it was being shown in that spot. Toyota was not interested in this at all. When I had some hail damage, I told the body shop about it, and it's mostly gone away since they repaired the hail damage. I'm not sure what they did. I bet there was a weld issue somewhere.""
