1. Engine grind at start
2. Dustless brake pads
3. Dash rattles

Reason I put dash rattles last as I am now convinced that these will not go away even after the TSB. Also doing the TSB, you put your car at risk that something gets marred on your dash. Doing simple mods has been more effective for me...that is, shoving foam down the front near windshield after spraying 3M silicone lubricant spray down the dash.

not sure I've heard the engine grind at start. is this something they would have fixed throughout the model year? I didn't get my 2008 until mid September. What is involved with that TSB?

Thanks MelYW. Yeh, I get the engine knock at cold start every once in a while.

jtrue28, check out the thread "GS350 Clatter noise upon engine start". they give you the TSIB #'s to get this fixed. I think it is a must. The noise sounds horrible, like something is definetly not right.
