I thought I was the only one who had that noise

I can only hear mine when I'm turning into my driveway where there is that dip part.

have ya'll ever driven a BMW with 60-70k miles on it? Talk about rattle and squeakbox... Actually, any luxury car with a few more miles on it... Problem is, Lexus may in the end have more squeaks because the cars are just downright driven more... Lots of people with BMW's are scared as hell to drive their cars past the 50k warranty mark... On top of that, people have so many problems with their mercedes and bmw's that they rarely make it to 100k, whereas Lexus' commonly have 200-300k before removed from service... Think of just one more thing... How many Lexus' are on the road in comparison to BMW / Mercedes...

I've always wonder that, a lot of my friends have trade in there benz/mercedes and ventrued to japanese.

since this thread is 5 years old when lexus seemed to be having a few more issues than prior to that, and more recently, i'm going to close this thread.
