My 2013 GS350 is garage kept. Last night before bed I went to garage to get something out of the freezer and heard a strange buzzing noise. I wasn't sure where it was coming from but it sounded like the trunk area. I checked the trunk and inside the vehicle and couldn't find any errors on the dash, etc., and it still seem to come from the rear. Decided to start car and bam it stopped. It must have been buzzing for hours and hours.

- Should I bring to dealership or just keep an eye on it? That is the first time it ever happened.

Thanks,

It's normal. Either brake lines being cleared or the fuel system being cleared.

Okay thanks, would it normally take hours to do that?

It doesn't start until the car has been off several hours.

This is normal. It's the evap system per my dealer and a few threads regarding this topic, here's one:

There's also a thread titled "...battery died for no reason...", or something like that.
