Our center console has started popping when a moderate weight is placed on it, like you would do when repositioning your ass in the seat. Sounds like a lid to jar of pickles. Anyone else's doing this?
Popping Center Console

Yes mine too. it pops against my elbow. Kind of gives me a cheap canister feeling 
Mine too.
Same here too…doesn’t do it a lot, but every time it pops, I think I broke something.
I don’t have the coolbox…just the regular compartment.

Mine also does this if I brace my elbow on it. Do you also have the coolbox by chance?
Regular compartment for me…
Yep!
Same here with a cool box. Elbow on console = cracking noise.
YES! So glad to hear others are experiencing the same issue (not in a good way.) This has been happening on my FE since DAY 1! I have recreated / physically shown the Service Advisor and Tech at the Toyota dealership I bought it from - they heard it, acknowledged it and the Tech tried to tell me 'That's just how Toyota manufactured it' - Toyota DOES NOT manufacture 'in' cracked internal plastic, squeaks and rattles, quite the opposite actually. I have taken / sent ~5 videos of this issue and heavily documented it with the dealer. They are fighting me on the replacement / repair and said they need to get a Toyota engineer to review the issue in person and wait until there are more complaints before they will fix it - BS. It happens EVERY time I bump it from the side and / or lightly lean on it with my elbow or press on it with my finger. I still have not heard back from the dealer on a fix - has anyone else?
I will definitely mention it when I go in next!
Same with my 1958. It's lacking padding inside. It doesn't bother me any more.
This is such a solid vehicle in every other way, it's a non issue for me really.
Yea, I think we're all talking about the same thing. I'm fairly certain it's from cracking a piece of plastic on the inside of the lid and I recall specifically when it started happening on mine:

Center Console Squeak / Crack
I have a 2024 First Edition. Since new, my center console lid squeaks when you bump it or when push down with your finger in the back center portion of the lid (toward the rear passengers.) I believe there is an internal crack in the lid as it sounds like two pieces of plastic rubbing together...

Coolbox Lid Crack
I think I cracked a piece of plastic inside of the coolbox lid when I leaned on it a certain way (sharp elbows). Now it makes a cracking sound when I put weight on it for the first time in the morning. I can't see anything visually, so it must be on the inside of the lid covered by the leather...
