Thanks MH6 for tip #3. Been having the same problem for over a year. I put a pice of foam between the speaker and windshield that fixed it somewhat. Never thought it was a lose screw! Tightened it and took foam out and the problem was fixed!!!!

MH6

Awesome ..... glad I could help

I feel with you... I am experiencing very similar issues. It is good to hear I am not the only crazy one hearing these sounds from universe

As I read the tips here about foam I want to fill all my GS's interior by foam

Or stop listening music using Mark Levinson and start wearing earphones reducing background noise

I thought I was the only unlucky one with those rattles. The rattles will be a lot louder when the outside weather is colder. Something I'd never expect on a 60k car . . . I've owned a 2005 G35 coupe right before my F-Sport but I will have to say, that car rattled a lot less than my current GS right now which is pretty sad.

Many people don't really care about small rattles but it drives me NUTS so I always listen to my music louder than I did in my previous cars because I don't want to hear the rattles. It was to the point where I got so mad and I wanted to get rid of this car.

I got rattles coming from the door trim where the lock / and window buttons are from both passenger and driver side. There was an DIY to cover with foam to kill the sound but its crazy how I will have to do such mod on a brand new 60k car vs on my G35 ( a 8 year old car) made such a quieter ride.

Very disappointed on the 4GS with the rattles. . . GS350 Rattle-Sport.

I've been told to watch out with foam fillers since they can expand and crack your trim pieces from the inside.

I don't have any rattles thus far at 10K miles, but frankly I would just go pester the Lexus dealer to no end until they were fixed. Now my Chrysler T&C is another story and I am seriously considering between drastic measures to cut down the sound or just flipping it for a Mercedes GL...

The dealer has a fix for it, all you have to do is drive over there and show them. I had it done, rattles from the door controls on both sides are gone.

You can be happy you spent just 60k USD. If I can convert the price for 450h F-Sport in EU it will be 90k USD

Just take it back to dealer and have them fix these rattles guys. No reason to ride around miserable about it.

Lol really. Are you surprised you have a rattling T&C? Those things are junk.

Thankfully my GS doesn't rattle yet but only at 3k mi. I live down a bumpy dirt road and cross two cattle guards going one way. So time will tell, I'm sure there will be several rattles eventually.

I made a point today of driving with the radio off just so I could hear whether or not there were any rattles. No rattles at all. Mine is a '13 with 18k miles that I've had for almost 3 years. I guess I'd better hang onto it.

SW17LS

Apparently you'd better get your hearing checked LOL

i guess the rattles issues seem to be hit or miss, sadly i got the rattles. hopefully better luck w if i get a 2nd gs350 f sport.

@dseag2, do you have wind noise from the passenger side?

DMPesso

this is very horrible for Lexus, hopefully by 2016 all the rattles will be gone. I guess thats why they say never buy a car on a new redesign because something is bound to be defective in the first few years until they fix it

dseag2

No, none. The only noise I hear is road noise from the tires on concrete roads.

So much depends on the dealerships when it comes to, what they perceive as minor, as to fixing the problem or not. Took my old ES in for service and mentioned the body molding under the door was loose and every time I got out of the car my leg bumped the molding and it rattled (seemed loose). They simply dismissed it....said nope.....that's normal. Many of these dealerships don't want to be bothered unless it's broke. I'm sorry I have only one choice in my town. A few years ago I drove 100 miles to Atlanta to purchase a car. Service department was great.....at that time. I have heard all the staff has changed, new management, and service has declined. Even if you go to Lexus Customer Care they will refer you to the dealership and from then on you are labeled as a problem and the service gets worse.
