Well, I'm 29yrs I just got an ES, so not the typical ES300h driver (still have to find a guy of my age behind the wheel). But I had a 2 yrs old Mercedes before and it was full of rattles already. The reason I switched is not for the look, but really to be in peace, road noise and rattles really drive me crazy.

But so far I had 3 rattles on my new ES:
- one was above the center air vent, (just below the GPS screen)
- one in the passenger door (was the DEL light for the trim that was loose)
- one in the arm rest (it's the locking mechanism)
I had an other one who turned to be the shelve in the glove box (now gone!)

The dealer have fixed them all, nice service and they told me they will continue to do it as long as I am on the warranty. I'm just wondering is it me who is over the top or others have experienced rattles and did you got them fixed?

I had two loaner so far, and both of them had rattles as well (One was an IS 250, there was a dash rattle passenger side, and the other one was a ES 300h like mine with the arm rest rattle)

I guess the next logical step will be to get an LS in few years, but for now I'm happy, they are able to fix them, not like Mercedes who don't want to do anything after the 1yr 20,000km adjustment period is over.

I have es350.
There are crazy rattles coming from driver side b-pillar. Theres a dedicated thread on it. And a rattles coming from rear automatic sunshade.

I'm waiting for a while to see if they are going to issue TSB. All my previous experience with dealers trying to fix the rattle has not been positive. I would rather wait before I go in for a service.

No rattles on my 300h but I keep the radio kinda loud. lol

Ok, I don't have the rear sunshade rattle, but so far I'm very pleased with the work they have done to fix my rattle.

I think I may have an other one coming from passenger side, I still don't know where it's from. If we could build a list of all the possible place of a rattle it would be nice.

Do you know where we can see all the TSB for our car?

I don't have any rattles in my 300h either. But I do hate rattles and squeaks and if I had the ones you mention I would be annoyed too.

Great to learn that very few of you have rattles in their car. I choose Lexus over any other brand just because I did not want any rattles.

But so far I'm happy, it's have been 2 days now since my dash was repair and it still good, the rattle seems to be gone for good. So I'm an happy camper now with my grandpa car.

And your grandpa thinks he wants to drive that young'in sweet but hot car .

Amphibulus

Haha, it's still my car and I love it, it just that most people don't understand why I traded a Mercedes for that, to them it looks like a downgrade and that I have "strange taste".

Arty101

Also strange for being so obsessive about noise and rattles. That's why you traded your Mercedes for a Lexus .
