I have the same year and model as you. I was driving to work this morning and I found a new squeak/rattle coming from the driver panel where you could put change. If I press on the part it squeaks as well. Hope this doesn't happen to your car.

Mine does the same thing; only happens when car is in motion - gets really annoying. It doesn't happen all the time, I would say only 4 out of 10 times when I drive. I'm afraid when I take it to dealership and if we go out for a test drive and it doesn't happen, they would say there's no rattle and refuse to give me a fix ..
And sorry for the newbie question, what is TSIB?

Personally guys/gals i think its the transmission....first year with 350AWD , come on no one gets it perfect on their first try...am sure its not my coils...car shouldnt be shaking/vibrating in D at a stop light cause of coils..might be a recall for the problem...lexus blamed my coils without looking at the car and voided my warrenty so am fighting with the main office now...if they dont fix it sad to say im selling the car...dont know for what though :'(

You need to tell your dealer to F*** off if they said you voided your entire warranty.

^ Show them that.
Aftermarket parts CANNOT void your warranty unless they prove that aftermarket part caused failure. And they definitely cannot void your entire warranty over a set of coils.
Also i don't think its the transmission, as i'm sure all the 2IS's share the same transmission except for the IS-F

I have a lexus is 350 2006. In 2010, when i bought the car, i noticed rattling on warm start up. I changed oils to 0w30 after months of head scratching. The problem went away after 1000km since the oil change and hasn't returned. I still have the car. I'm thinking of putting high mileage oil or additives in my next oil change, but i have read it might bring the rattling on warm start up back. What do you guys think?
