Angry LS430 Interior Noises

Folks,

Anyone having problems with interior creeks and rattles on their LS430s??? I have several noises as follows:

1) Pop from the rear of the vehicle when body flexes (ex: pulling out of a driveway on an angle so each tire hits the road at a different time)

2) Buzzing from center console area over highway/street reflectors

3) High frequency "tapping" noise coming from the lower rear (behind passenger seat)


Has anyone else experienced these problems or anything similar??? The dealers are having a hard time correcting these issues and it's getting frustrating in a car of this caliber and pricepoint...

None of these noises in my LS430 UL. Maybe this is the catch of owning the quietest interior automobile. Make the service tech. take a test ride with you and point out all sounds.

the only "problem" I have is that when going over certain bumps/harsh surfaces, the air filter for the rear a/c seems to rattle or something. Well, the rattle is coming from the right rear vent so i am guessing it has to do with the filter. will have to get it looked at.
