You're not in the wrong forum anymore.  I've pulled the squeaks and rattles issues out into a separate discussion here.
Some might not have these problems, and that's great. But some clearly do, so now we have a place to explore them.
And let's politely ask those who are NOT having these issues to be glad they aren't. And let's also ask them to please not bother to tell the people who are having the problems that they really are not.
Thanks muchly!!

I experienced the same squeaks noise coming from the dash. I just got mine over the weekend! I am taking it in to have them check it when my license plate gets here.

I had a loud squeal in my brakes one day (I've owned my IS for almost 7 months). It happened as I was turning into a parking space (sounded like metal on metal). I quickly took it to Lexus and they couldn't really find anything but they tightened the caliper bolts and strut bolts that were a bit "loose" and torqued down the brakes and suspension nuts and bolts (I'm just reading what my receipt shows as the solution) and I've never heard the sound since. And that was about 6 months ago. Maybe this will help you sowku.

I often drive with the windows down so I don't know when this started but at approx. 6,000 miles I noticed 2 squeaks in my 350. The first one is under the dash, left of the steering column and happens mostly when going over speed bumps. It sounds as if something is flexing. The sound happens when the front wheels start climbing the speed bump (suspension compression) and when, on the other side of the bump, the wheels connect again with the pavement (suspension compression again). All this happens at slow speed.
The other squeak is in the moon roof, with the roof closed. When the screen is pulled back it is very loud and annoying. The squeaks come from all around the glass roof and happen on uneven pavement and during cornering. It feels like the chassis is not rigid enough and is flexing, which my interpretation is the moonroof frame twisting.
I haven't been to the dealership yet and wanted to see if anybody has had similar experience.

There was a TSS on squeaking: NV001-06 FRONT SEAT SQUEAK NOISE. Maybe their will be one on this as well. Lexus seems to be pretty good about resolving issues.

First, I purchased my IS250 November of 05. I have been experiencing the squeaking noise from the dash too. Not so much in the Summer but it was driving me crazy in the winter (I live in Chicago). I had my Lexus in the shop approximately 5 times between Nov and March. The problem has never been resolved. I anticipate having the same problems as the cold weather approaches. Regarding the brakes. I too had squeakey brakes around 6000 miles. Lexus replaced the front pads and rotors. This is something that will never be recalled but if you complain about it, they should replace the front brakes. Just don't wait until you have 15000 miles. Has anyone out there had the squeaking from the dash fixed? If so, how was it resolved? It drives me nuts! And regarding people who say that we did not purchase a Maybach, that is complete nonsense! We all still paid a lot of money for this car, my 98 Honda Accord with 120000 miles does not make any noises at all. I think it is a joke that Lexus has not figured a way to fix my particular problem after being in there 5 times.

totally. and they dared to say that it's normal. i called them 3 times, went there, and they looked at it, and said it's normal. WTF!!! they better fix my brake. I'm pissed off. my brake still has the squeaking sound when i brake. i guess my upgrade to a GS in the future is not gonna come true. Lexus sucks. quality goes down, the cost of the car goes up.... hurrrrraaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy!!! yaaeee to the stupid consumer... they believe us... it's normal and they give us the money... that's what going through lexus CEO & managers... they don't care... they got the big pay checks...

Very sorry to hear that, guys! I picked up my IS 350 on March 4th and haven't experienced any of these problems. Have you brought your cars to different dealerships?

Yes I have, I have been to two different dealerships. I have taken it to the dealership that I purchased my Lexus at twice and another Lexus dealership in Chicago three times. Both have not resolved the squeaking noise.
