Default 2014 IS250 Problem

Yep, already have an issuer with the IS250. After less then 500 miles I called and made an appointment for my 2014 IS 250. The issue is there is a whistleing issue on the drivers side. After working with the mechanic that was assigned the issue it turns out that the mirror creates a whistle sound in the drivers side when you get over 50MPH.

The concern is that I am not the only customer that has brought this concern to this Lexus dealer. According to the service manager they test drove other IS 250 on the lot and the other make the same noise. They are not sure if there is a fix or not. I am very concerned after purchasing a really nice car that the company is not going to stand behind the issue. I expect better from "the pursuit of perfection"

What would you do next? I have plans to meet with the GM on Tuesday.

You might try posting this in the Third Gen IS forum. You'll get more IS owners viewing it.

Yes you get to listen to the whistle either way. Window down or window up. I dont usually drive 50+ with the window down but did to try and figure out the issue.
