Doors not fully closing!!!
I don't know if it's just me or the car but does anyone have a problem with their doors fully closing?? It seems like I have to slam the door (driver and passenger side) in order for the doors to fully close. In my last Lexus, I usually just the tap on my way out and the door would just close. I took it to lexus and they said it's a common thing and just use more muscle. I know for a fact that my friend's 07 GS isn't like this. Anyone else have this problem? Please help!

they said it's a common thing and just use more muscle......I don't think so....My doors close fine.....slight push on door handle(hate fingerprints all over)....closed. I don't know if I'd buy into the "little more muscle" idea...not for a Lexus. Hope you get it resolved...maybe take it to a different dealership.

I do the same thing when closing my doors too!
And NO....my doors dont take a little more muscle to close. they close perfectly! They need to look at it and find out why?? Like BKE420 said...... Take it somewhere else man!

beleive it or not it is a combo of a very tight interior seal and possibly a slight door latch mechanism issue...just for kicks, try this
open your rear window or sunroof a tiny bit and try closing and report back....

It is definitely the good solid door and window seals that make our doors harder to close. Sometimes quality has its down-side, but I'd rather have a quiet interior cabin than easy closing door any day.
