Rear Seat light fell down
The new GS has been great, tight, and everything I'd expect from a Lexus, except... The Rear Dome (LED) light fell from the headliner hanging by the cord. 
I was driving very hard through some rough twisty back roads and I had the suspension setting in Sport Mode. I expect to get this taken care of right away as well as the headlights, they do have a small amount of condensation.
I've since push the light back up and it hasn't fallen down again (yet) but I'd rather service take a look at it, and we are closing in on 1k.

Minor problems are a risk we take when purchasing in the first model year. My '99 GS had tons of rattle from day one. I remember for the first couple years of the 2nd gen GS, there were a number of reliability issues which were eventually rectified.
Fortunately my new GS is rattle free and seems to be built extremely well. However, I'll keep my eye open for a dangling rear dome light though

This is a known problem with the new GS. This happened to my 430. A design flaw with the dome light that keeps the light from sealing flush. My temporary fix was to take some sticky tape to force a tight seal. My dealer ordered a new light from Japan and now all is well.
