Hi Everyone,
I just dealt with the weird rattles / noise from the rear side of the vehicle for the last 45 days with Lexus. I am from Canada, specifically Alberta and dealt with Lexus South Pointe.
After 45 days of going back and forth and them telling me this was normal, the issue has finally been resolved.
The sway bar bushings needed to be lubricated as they dry out. The rattling noise has completely dissapeared and was due to this.
Please let me know if this fixes your problems for anyone dealing with this!

Driver's seat sits too far back from the door edge when the seat is all the way back. This has caused me to catch my pants on the weather stripping many times, causing the weather stripping to tear.
Weather - It never lists the city I'm in, rather a city 10 miles or more away.
Lack of Auto-volume - If "Don't Stop Believing" comes on the radio on my way home and I crank it up... the volume remains the same on startup, blowing my ears out.
Seat heaters - Terrible. They don't get warm enough.
Auto-lock - Sometimes I forget to push the handle on the outside of the car. My sister's Prius locks after 5 minutes of the key being away... why not the Lex.
Lack of auto-start with nav - How is this a thing. I live in Phoenix, where I would love to fire up my car's AC early. How is this only an issue with nav models?
Lack of a digital clock - Love the analog, but doesn't give you "glanceablity". The instrument panel is a video board, couldn't find room for the time?
Voice recognition - I've been pushed nearly to the point of violence from the on-board voice recog.

it only auto locks if you unlock the door and not open the door for a set amount of time. It doesn't auto lock if you open the door or when you are getting out of the vehicle.

Almost 2 years now. I've learned to live with most except:
1. Every winter I curse at being able to only store 1 set of TPMS sensors on an AWD model no less. My old commuter Honda Fit could store 2 sets! Yes, I went out and bought Quickset. It didn't have to end this way. It's a Lexus!
2. Cup holders. It still pisses me off every time I have to use it.
3. Navigation unit is completely useless. Entering address is like pulling teeth. Once you get your address in, roll the dice that it won't go blank on you while you're driving. I've pretty much given up *****ing to the dealer and is sticking to my iPhone for nav. Pretty sad for a Lexus.

No real issues, just minor complaints after 1 year + 2 months of ownership:
1) cupholder placement just like everyone else
2) total and complete lack of space to store anything in the front of the car besides my sunglasses and obnoxiously sized owners manual set
3) i have that rattle from the drivers side door buttons that everyone else has
