A brand new 2013 RX350: Problems
#16
The pursuit of F
I don't own any Lexus RX, but soon (if tomorrow's deal goes well.)
I owned 2 American built Honda/Acura. 98 Accord and 02 TL. Both squeaked/rattled when brand new, from the door panel or from the dash, etc etc. For some reason, both cars had no squeaking/rattling after like 30-40K miles.. I guess dust/dirt buildup helped to insulate them?
My just-sold 08 Japanese built TSX has very minor rattle on driver side door and steering column throughout my 5 yrs of ownership. I didn't bother to get dealer to correct them as I don't want them to take interior panels apart.
Ya I do agree getting squeak/rattle fixed is pain in the ***.
Hopefully I will have better luck on my next car.. I have never owned Toyota/Lexus before. Wish me luck.

I was in a 12 Camry as a loaner and the center stack was a squeak nightmare. Touching the controls or the trim produced the creaking so easily. Worst late model vehicle I also had for a few days was a 13 Escape. The center stack rattled and creaked on normal road conditions. Very cheap plastic. MB, BMW, etc all have a tonne of posts on squeaks and rattles. It's the reality of the new automobile but at least Lexus is among the best and if you experience it, they will gladly fix it so long as you can reproduce it.

I think a Lexus tech told me it's "rather involved" inside the headliners tight-wound wires running in there or something like that.
