When going over center dividers with reflectors or ruff road
my car makes loud rattle sounds coming from underneath
Took it to the dealership twice and had the parking brake tightened which they think its the issue but still rattles
Here is possible 2nd lemon lexus in our family....

If looking squarely at the front bumper, there are two plastic flaps attached with screws (in the case of non F Sport IS) under it..
I find the flaps sometimes could hit something in the pavement joint when exiting/entering a mall if the pavement joint has some imperfection. You may check if the flaps got screwed up/loosened.

Just got a brand new is250 f sport to replace the one I got 2 months ago, why? I had rattles coming from center console after 2 weeks of driving it, took it in to service, fixed the issue. A week later, 2 other rattle/buzzing sounds started coming from the glove compartment and AC vent on driver side. Was gonna wait until my 5000 miles service to fix the new rattles, but the rattle from center console came back and I couldn't wait anymore. Brought the car to service again and while test driving my car after fixing the rattles, they discovered a 4th rattle coming from the stereo system area. Asked to speak to the head of customer service and asked me what do I wanted to do, mentioned the lemon law and how I didn't want my car back. GM of dealership called next day and asked when I want to come in and get a different is250. I had a 2009 is250 and never heard any of the sounds I heard on the 2015. Good luck!
