I have not experienced the whistling noise you refer to. I guess it could be the run flat tires. I am not a big fan of them, either. When I replace them, it will not be with run flats. Maybe that will help with some of the creaks and rattles, too. That's my Christmas wish.

Run flat tires are a good idea for the future but are not yet ready for prime time; based on my experience with two run flat tire equipped cars.

Got my passenger's side mirror assembly replaced yesterday.
The mirror didn't go up or down.
Next the inner rear mirror. There is a TSB for it.
Need to confirm if the mirror vibrates when the moon roof
opens at high speed.

The side mirrors are interesting. My D/S wouldn't go up and down so took it to dealer. They said nothing wrong with em and the mirror worked when I picked up the car... A few days later it went out again and I took it back to dealer .. same thing. So they ordered a new mirror but by the time the mirror was shipped to the dealer my mirror miraculously started working on its own. Hmmm..

My service rep told me the problem would fix itself and goes
back again. Indeed, it did. I had to disable the mirror up/down
feature in back-up mode. I didn't want the mirror stopped at
the lowest position which I couldn't see anything,
It took more than a month for the assembly to arrive.
My service dealer did a great job of replacing it, puting back
Simonize & 3M.
 
On the mirror issue, if your car has a VIN number less than 8xxx,
 the inner rear mirror could vibrate when you have the moonroof opened at high speed. I can see why it happens. Unlike other cars I have, my 07GS350AWD rear mirror is a bit shaky. A strong
 wind could vibrate the mirror. There is a TSB for this issue.
Will confirm this vibration problem on a warm sunny day before calling dealer.

08GS350 Brake Squealing by sjab

Last winter I had no problems with my brakes however, this winter my brakes squeal horribly in the cold weather . I had it in a few weeks ago and they said Lexus is aware of the problem but they offered no solution. Has anyone else had this issue? Were they able to solve it? It's embarassing to drive such a beautiful, expensive car and pull up to the stoplight and have people stare beacuse of the squealing.

There is a solution! I had the same problem last winter and my dealer supplied me with a quit brake pad. Call around if you need to but the solution is out there. If I hear your still having problems I forward you the specs.

Same here with my 07GS350AWD.
Didn't happen 1st winter. Last winter started happenning.
This year it already happened when the cold weather arrived.
 
Talked to service dealer today. Fix is on the way, probably in
Jan 09. Hopefully it will fix the brake dust issue too. Hang in
there.
 
Squealing brakes don't bother me much as the windshield ticking
noise. But it will be taken care next month when I bring
the car in.

2008 GS 350 rattles, break sound & mud flaps by carjunkie4
Nov 26, 2008 (6:03 pm)

I own a 2008 GS AWD and noticed as the weather has gotten colder that my front doors and front window rattle and squeek. This sounds tends to become more pronounced as the drive the car longer periods of time.
 
I also notice that my brakes are beginning to make noise after only 8500 miles. Is there a fix for this and the great amount of brake dust?
 
Lastly has anyone been able to come across mud flaps for the vehicle?
 
Thank you
