Default 5k service - recommendations?

Hi all,
I am about to go in for the first scheduled maintenance on my 2016 RX 350. I plan to bring up the following:
humming underneath car while sitting in the garage, powered off
- confirm it's just the fuel evaporation leak check doing its job?
technical service bulletin - AC gurgling noise
- L-SB-0101-16
technical service bulletin - sluggish acceleration/gear selection
- L-SB-0109-17

rear pass door speaker/tweeter grill very loose, rattles when music plays with even mild bass
- I could shim it, but will they replace it?

Wondering if there is anything else I should bring up while I'm there that others have benefitted from?

Thanks!

Looks like a good list to me! I also did a few other Personalized Lexus settings and changed the color of the car in the panoramic view monitor. So, I'd add that to the list.

Do a wheel alignment. It's free and when I did mine they said it was off and I didn't hit anything.

+1 to curryolla and changing the pano view monitor car color.

Also, any other settings you wish to change. Lane blinks from 3-4, mirrors auto folding with door lock vs ignition off, touch free rear trunk sensitivity, etc. I used the carista app but dealer does these changes for free for the first time.

For sure change from 3 to 5 blinks . . . that was all I needed. Waited for 40 minutes and they delivered my vehicle, washed and ready to go. Lexus will NOT do an alignment unless it show that the alignment is out.

Check you tire pressure as mine was crazy off with one tire being at 42psi when I know for sure all was at 33psi. I called the service manager to give him a heads up the next day.

Here's all the personalized settings you can have the dealer do for you. This can be done for free up to the 5K mile service interval...

I did a few things as mentioned above, plus the roll down windows feature using the key fob

Yeah! I like the key fob/window control feature, have enjoyed that on past vehicles, too bad it's disabled by default on this car. I'll give that list a good look, thanks!

BTW I just stumbled across at least one other similar thread. Apologies for the duplicate. I DID search around prior to posting but didn't see anything at the time :/

One other thought, I remember seeing another thread about the sunroof seal being weak (NON pano). I have experienced a lot of noise coming from the sunroof when it's closed, but the shade is open. Also when going thru car wash with high pressure sprayers, I have had water come thru into the cabin.

I will mention that for sure, but anyone aware of an official fix for that?

well, overall I would say my experience was not good.

The two TSB's I requested to be applied to my RX were not applied because I didn't have time to go for a test drive with the tech, and apparently they aren't able to assess for themselves whether or not the related symptoms are present.

Also, they missed one of the personalized settings I asked for. And one is on there that can't even be set according to them (#45 sensitivity of power back door touchless sensor).

Disappointing process and quality control. I followed up with the service advisor and service manager expressing my disappointment. Will be interesting to see how the respond.

Does the car let you know about the 5K service? My maintenance minder seems to be set to 10k miles.

I don't think the 5k is a reminder. It's just a quick look to see if the wheels are going to fall off and change a few settings for personal use if desired.
