I was at a light this morning and randomly my car stuttered. It felt like it was having a heart attack and shortly after that I started to hear squeaking from my dashboard... Today is a sad day =(

 

uh ohhh....

 

bad gas?????

 

I dont know... Do you think it was bad gas? I put Sunoco Ultra 93 in last night...

 

Could be...symptoms of bad gas include sputtering. The timing certainly is suspicious...bad gas filled up last night....sputtering this morning. Might be time to find out if others at that station have had problems but it's not like the attendant is going to tell you "yes, others have had problems."

 

damn. I knew i shouldve went to hess or shell..... stupid sunoco. Im going to the dealer for my 15k service and ill have them check out the squeeking in the dash.

 

But also and usually, bad gas won't result in one bad event like you experienced. If it were a tank full, you'll should have troubles throughout that entire tank on more than one occasion while the bad tank of gas makes its way through your vehicle.

 

well hopefully it wont ever happen again.. but the squeeking has got to go asap.. so annoying.

 

welcome to the club

 

damn, i thought i lucked out by not getting it till now.

 

1989Lexus, If I remember right, you pick up your GS a little after me. It was starting to get warm when you pick it up last year. This morning was in the low 30s, it was cold enough to for the dash squeak to start.
As for the bad gas, throw some fuel conditioner or octane booster in your tank and see if that helps.

 

This wont go away untill they replace clips? or whats the deal with this rattle/squeek?

 

Its the dash board clips they use, they are cheaper than the last generation GS'.
To fix the squeak, they dont replace the clips, what they will do is take your dash board out and pad everything with felt tapes. Make sure you ask them to do the upper and lower windshield clip TSB while they are at it. Thats TSB takes care of any present or future ticking noise.
