ecount00, have you try to address this with your dealer? If so, which one did you go to?

But who want to take the car back to the dealer when it gets cold every year? Def NOT me. What happen after the warranty run out? Since this problem has been going on for over 2 years, so I don't think Lexus takes it seriously or maybe our voices not loud enough then. Lexus deserves the spot behind Acura and Honda from CR.

Have you had this problem and got it fixed?

Agree, but it still though... BTW, yes I already scheduled for third appointment. Has anybody experienced the vibration from the car sometimes?

PERMANENTLY??? Hummmhhhhh???? What make you said that? When did you get it fixed? Let's see how long until you take it back again to the dealer. But good luck and hope it won't happen again. I got mine fixed first time for little over a year then it came back on again, so I took it back to the dealer last friday and now I already schedule for 3rd time... so figured....

When you get your car in 15 degrees below zero and it is silent you will know that it is fixed!

I totally don't agree with you because I have over 15,000 miles on my car as of today, they tried to fix it second time last week and the problem still there.

is it so hard to print out the TSIB available all over this site and bring it to your dealer and say "LOOK, it's ALL stated here and teaches you how to fix it"
many of the 08 owners don't have this problem, it is obviously something they already know how to fix. *forgot the OP has a 08, I am knocking on wood that this won't happen to me, however, I don't care how many free loaners i get or times i go back to the dealer. if it's not fixed, call up corporate, then you'll talk to some of the nicest people ever.
why settle for problems

My apologies for making you to think that I'm trying to fight with you or trying to prove you wrong on this subject, that's NOT what I intend to do at all and thanks for trying to help me with this issue, and I will search for your posts to find that list of dealerships.

Here I'll help you out - Here is the thread. It lists some people at dealerships that were able to fix the problem. I gave this to the shop foreman that rode in my car and he was glad I brought it along. Worked for Me!

Just made 3rd appointment for this problem after pass 15000 miles and got a phone call from local dealer's customer service saying that because this is the third time so they are required to schedule with someone from the Lexus Corp to take my car out for test drive with me so I can address the problem directly with him. I've been using my digital recorder to capture the rattles as my backup when I have a talk with this guy. This is annoying and I believe no one want to take the car back to the dealer every time it comes up again and again, very disappointed so far with Lexus 
. This makes me think twice with my future new car.

i'm wondering if the felt stuffed in the cracks will make the parts looser over time.
there's nothing we can do but wait it out for 4 years until warranty is over to see how well the felt tape holds up.
