Hi guys. Relatively new to Lexus and CL. Bought a '14 350 F sport about a month ago and have put maybe 2000 miles on it for a total of 23000. Anyway in low speeds i hear what can be best described as a clunking over bumps or uneven surfaces. I'm still another 2k miles away from my first service and the dealer isn't exactly convenient to get to. Anyone with experience, is this normal with the GS? Or is it something i should have checked out sooner rather than later? Thanks!
Oh, also, I had a 2003 GS 450 that did the same thing!

Ok, so since I never use my sunroof in socal (go figure), I opened it and then closed it and vois la...no more clunking. It's been 10 days since I did it and I still have no clunk anymore. I would always have the weird clunking noise when hitting speed bumps or bumps where the wheels hit unevenly causing the chassis twist and clunk in the sunroof. We'll see how long this lasts.
LatinGSF, any did they fix your noise? Was it due to the sunroof?

I have a 2013 F Sport that does the same thing. Took it to the dealer and couldn't get it to duplicate. Now it's so bad that it will be easy to duplicate. It sounds like a jalopy. I use it for business and occasionally have to drive people around. Very, very embarrassing. When I take it in I'll be letting them know that until it's fixed don't bother trying to give it back to me. Over $50K for a clunker!!

I have the same issue (coming from the back). I thought it was my struts as well but they are all fine. It must be the sunroof as you all said too! I love Club Lexus for this! Great write up! Too bad i'm turning in my lease today tho. 
I would have liked to keep it, but these little gremlins here and there just made me move on. I got into a Jeep SRT lease for an unbelievable deal. I still have my 2000 SC300 with the GTE/6speed swap, so i'll continue to be on CL, but glad to read the knowledge-sharing posts like this.
