Default The weakest link on my car

I just figured out what part I dislike on my car. It is the front bumper. I really do not like the way it is shaped, especially around the lower portion of it. Other than that, the car looks great. Btw, my 1 year anniversary is fast approaching (bought the car in mid Oct 2005) and I have not had a single warranty issue. Kudos to Lexus!

I think the weakest link (err, "links") is the car's excessive weight, and its soft-ish suspension.

You are lucky, I had so many rattle issues with my IS350 and I also bought my car around oct last year. Finally, they pulled the whole entire dash out and did something.

And I can solve your problem. Next time when you park, try to back in to your garage, so that you won't see your front bumper anymore.

I swear I must have bought a completely different Lexus than some of the ones discussed here. Dash rattles, Moon roof rattles, Gas tanks that break, funny noises here and there, suspension vibrations, etc. Man......hard to believe all those problems from a Lexus....

The only noise I hear in mine is my heart pumping for joy. The car is a solid as a bank vault. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
