Road noise seems fine actually. It is comparable to my wife's 330i. If they don't fix the dashboard rattle that is a bigger issue.

 

Alvinklee,
I hope they can fix that mirror and rattle quickly.
check your windshield wipers. The one I test drove yesterday was not quiet.
On another note the acceleration was really good.

 

The shaking driver's side rear view mirror has been an issue with both some RAV4s and NXs through multiple generations. There is a fix for the problem, but it involves removing the interior door panel, taking apart various things inside the door to get access to the mirror area, and, then, replacing the bolts that mount the mirror to the door with larger bolts. For my RAV4 hybrid, I decided to learn to live with mirror. Mine only shakes periodically, and I was concerned about the possibility that, with having to take apart so much inside the door, new rattles might be introduced. I also was not interested in having to have larger holes drilled into the door sheet metal to accommodate the larger bolts.

When you are talking about the reflections in the rear view mirror, I assume you are talking about the electronic rear view mirror. If that is the case, it is, unfortunately, prone to having things on the inside of the car reflect onto the surface of the mirror. When that happens, it results in what I consider to be an unacceptable view of what is behind the car. You can, however, reduce the reflections if you adjust the mirror to be at a higher angle.

Congratulations on the new NX and good luck with it.

 

When I had a 2015 Lexus IS350, they took apart my door and fixed the rattles surprisingly they came back and forth working with me to trying to address the rattles near the window. So, I am not too concerned about introducing rattles to fix the mirror. However, the concern is how would they address the dashboard near the driver side. Wondering what could cause that slight rattle at times.
The rear view mirror is good now, It was user error lol.

The next problem that came up now is the system and not saving my seat position or recalling my seat position. Need to redo it every time. Also, is the annoying alarm type sound when you are driving under 25 mph normal? It doesn't sound like the usual hybrid sound of a usual honda or something. its so slight.

 

I think what you may be hearing is the new noise generator Lexus is putting on new generations of vehicles. This was cause for considerable discussion when the current Gen ES came out. It draws stares from pedestrians and sounds like a strangled cat when backing out of the garage. It’s part of the pedestrian warning system mandated for vehicles when running on electric as they are virtually silent. Blind people have difficulty hearing them so somebody thought giving it an obnoxious noise, actually louder than a gas engine, would be a good idea. I believe it only engages at speeds below 25 while operating on battery power. I only hear it inside the car when the windows are down.

Some members in the ES forum wrapped the noisemaker (right behind the grill) with duct tape. This made it only barely audible while avoiding the triggering of alarms that simply unplugging it would have caused. Tacky solution and I decided to just learn to ignore it myself - but I was tempted…

 

I picked up my 450H+ F Sport on Jan 7. The salesman let me know there is an issue with the alarm going off when the car is locked, but I garage park and was willing to deal with it. I love the car and am just waiting for the alarm issue to be fixed. I was back at the dealer a few days later, and there was another NX with its horn and lights going off continuously every 20 minutes. The other little bugs like the qi charging not working with my mag safe case I’m sure will get resolved eventually.

I knowingly knew I would probably see issues on a first year model at the start of the year, but I’m willing to deal with this for an otherwise amazing car.

 

Do you happen to know if the alarm issue is on all NX models or just the 450H+?

 

I posted a bit further up on this thread, I have a 350h Premium I picked up Jan 1 and had the same problem immediately. My NX has the illuminated sill plate addon for the car and cargo area. In summary, the alarm constantly went off while locked, it would indicate the rear liftgate was open intermittently (both on dashboard and in the Lexus app), and then the battery would die requiring a jump start. The dealer told me they had 3 other NXs on the lot with the same alarm issue. As it happens I just picked up my car from the dealer service today after they had it for more than a week. They've diagnosed the problem as the following:

FOUND REAR CARGO AREA LED SILL PLATE HAS INTERNAL FAILURE CAUSING VEHICLES ALARM TO ACTIVATE AND DISCHARGE BATTERY - PER LEXUS DISCONNECTED SILL PLATE AND WILL ADVISE CUSTOMER WHEN UPDATED PART HAS ARRIVED

So far so good, no alarm issues while locked since bringing it home. Hope this may help, my service department is at Lexus of Jacksonville if that helps your dealer at all.

 

^^Are you referring to the optional illuminated trunk plates? We’re your port installed or installed at your dealership?

 

Correct, the "Illuminated-Door/Cargo Sills". I believe mine were port installed.

 

Laughing at my post on P1 after reading this thread's updates every day.

 

Is it normal for the HUD to get blurry when driving on more bumpy roads? Wondering if it is related to the creaking I am hearing.

 

Have any owners of the 350H hybrid had any issues filling the 14.5 gallon gas tank?
looks like toyota is getting a class action lawsuit for the rav4 gas tank for holding only 10 gallons of gas ?

 

Filled my 350H up today. It had just got to the point where it was reading "Refuel" for range and the fuel indicator had no bars left. It took 12.5 gallons at the pump. Was trying to figure out if there's a 2 gallon reserve once you hit empty.

 

page 613 of THE manual says low fuel level light comes on when you have approximately 2.3 gallons of gas left.

YMMV.
