Question Driver Door Control Panel BUZZING!!?!?!?!?

G'day chaps,

Ive amassed almost 3700miles in my 14 gs350f thus far and really enjoy the car. One problem i've had for the past 1000miles or so is the drivers door control cluster for the window switches etc, not the black part but the actual panel the buttons are hooked into buzzes and wiggles and up down maby 2mm. I swear, it buzzes like a beehive thats on FIRE when the radio is on. I've been resting my hand on it for a while but enough is enough, how do I get that panel out so I can stick some really thin foam in there to stop it?

Thanks guys!

Take it back to the dealer, don't mess with it yourself since it's still under warranty.

I took my vehicle into the dealer to have the driver's side window switches fixed for rattling with bass from the stereo. I am not entirely sure from your post that you're having the same issue but the dealer insulated the controls as to where they no longer have the ability to vibrate. Problem solved for me.

Not that it matters, but is this a GS or IS? I think you'd be better off waiting to get to a dealer. Unless you truly know what you are doing, you'll be better off having the dealer dig in and see what is going on. No need to make matters worse.

If you are that far away from a dealership, you can fall back on what would be the worse case scenario, take it to a Toyota dealer.

If it is a warranty issue, Toyota dealers can't touch it.

Even though the dealership is far away, you should make the trip, you will have a piece of mind trust me. Otherwise, see if you can live with it until 5k service, and have them fix this issue then.

I think mine is having this problem. I scheduled an appointment with my dealership and to have them resolve it. Has the problem reoccurred since then?

Thanks,

Alvin

Exclamation Buzzing noise

I also got some buzzing effect when I listening music. (8k miles on the car)
I don't know where the sound coming from (probably drivers door control cluster) but I cant listen music anymore cuz that buzzing noise.

Also that back shelf where is speakers attached are also making vibration noise. After that experience some people asking me how I like the sound system.....I don't know what to say....

Should I make the appointment at dealership also ?



Regards
Avi
