Hey Guys,

I am also beginning hear some rattles in my RX as well. I mainly hear it when I go over bumpy roads. If you guys have any luck with the Lexus dealers in the SF area, please let me know.

Also, do any of you hear a high pitch whirling noise coming out from the steering wheel? My car starts making that noise after it is warmed up. It's actually pretty loud and I hear it when the steering wheel is in the neutral position. If I turn the wheel in either direction, the noise goes away. I have reported this noise to the Serramonte Dealership twice. The first time they said it was normal. The second time they said they couldn't reproduce the noise. I am certain that this noise I hear isn't normal. My family owns several other Toyotas that are 10X as old and cost half as much as this car and they do not rattle and make strange steering wheel noises. This is not what I expected the Lexus to be like.
