34700 miles here and mines as good as it was when it was brand new. 
I would imagine the rough idle and the smoking are the same issue. You've got to take it to the dealer.

Update!!! Haven't been to the dealer yet to have the above issues addressed but that's ok because I'm here to list a few more new issues.
1.) Since my sunroof has been repaired at my last dealer visit, the roof in the rear of my car has started creaking/pooping when taking off from a complete stop. At first I thought it was the child seats in the back but it's became severe and very clear.
2.) When coming to a stop, almost stopped, the car vibrates roughly. Annoying. A few passengers have commented "it feels like the car is going to die, isn't this a new car?!"
3.) As of late, I have noticed in the morning when I start the car, it's smoking blue smoke and smells rich. Chevron 91octane or shell 91. Doesn't get any better than that here so I'm assuming it's not the gas.
4.) Yay my brakes scream at me now! That's fantastic!! And embarrassing. One passenger noted "what the **** are your brakes worn out already?!" Hmm they're not, at 6,500 miles but it sure sounds like metal on metal. Sweet!
5.) Some of my tint bubbled. Not my cars fault but still chapped my *** when I saw it. Easy fix.
So as you all can imagine, I drive a very expensive car. Anyone who rides in it, they drive a huge expensive truck. They believe cars should be cheap. The fact that I bought (leased, but that doesn't really matter) such an expensive car, is beyond them especially since it's such a piece of ****. My car is becoming an embarrassment anytime someone rides with me. My dealer is about 3 1/2 hours away. I went with Lexus not expecting to have this many issues at 6,500 miles. Oh well, it happens unfortunately. I'm just ranting

(1) I've never heard of a sunroof pooping before. Is the smell bad?
(2 & 3) Sounds like it could be a leaky head gasket between two cylinders - with the antifreeze giving the sweet smell, and just enough water/moisture in one or two cylinders to cause a rough idle at low RPMs. However, blue smoke is usually an indicator of oil being burned.
(4) You may have lost the brake pad anti-squeal grease (lube/paste) packing behind one or more of the pads, which can cause squealing.
(5) It's highly unusual for high-quality window tint film to bubble once it has dried/cured.

I've had mine since July and already have a bunch of little nicks on the front bumper. Paint must be really cheap. My rear suspension squeaks when I get out of the car. I hear this loud metal clapping sound when I go from park to reverse (I think I read on here that that noise is the parking break).

The rear squeak ur hearing is actually the parking brake settling in, not the springs.

My cousin drives an Audi A8 and even he is impressed with my car. And every one i ever took for a ride in my GS has all given me positive complements. Heck my other cousin owns a 2013 Lexus GS fsport and its when I took a ride in his car that impressed me so much i decided to sell my Lexus LS and buy a 2014 New GS. Yes the GS is s good I went from Lexus flagship and into its mid level offering.

I'm definitely not bashing lexus as a brand, it happens. I mean I'm one car out of a ton, they can't all be perfect. I would still buy another lexus without hesitating. Just sucks because I do love my car and don't want to see it have any issues. I'm sure all the kinks will get worked out of it, I really can't complain until after I give the dealer a chance to fix it. I took my car to a new carwash (yeah it's a touch one) and it scratched the **** out of my car all down the side. So it will be going to my detail guy. The paint is soft for sure!!

Touchless car washes for me. It's either my paint get scratched or my wheel and tire get sliced by the rails.
