Replying to: neophite (Jan 10, 2009 9:24 am) the creaking noise. I inserted a soft foam as a cushion between the windshield & dashboard on both driver side & passenger side. The creaking noise is very much gone every time the car runs over a bump now. The insertion is between the vent hole & a small speaker on the dashboard, on each side. The TSB for rearview mirror fixed the vibration. The dealer has to replace a mirror. The mirror costs a fortune, but it's covered under warranty. Still waiting for a fix to the brake squealing noise. Dealer will let me know when the new parts arrive (ETA in late Jan 09). Today outside temperature is below 32F, and the brakes squeal every time I used them. Kinda annoying.

I own a 2007 GS350, and have the dash rattle and brake screech problems. My dealer told me the dash is a 6 hour fix, and I have to make an appointment far in advance. As for the brakes, I have had a repair by the dealer (didn't work), and when I returned, the repair writer told me that there is nothing that can be done as no parts are available. I have called Lexus twice (latest time 1/14/08), and was told "the engineers in Japan are working on a solution" When I asked gor a time fram (eg a week?, month?, year?) I was told that they couldn't say. This is pure bull____ because they are still selling $50M cars with both of these defects, and when they do ever get a fix on the brake problem, there will be a serious time backlog. I finally took the dealer to task, and told them I deserved a complete brake job right now under warranty, and if the problem arises again before a permanent fix, I should continue to get brake jobs under warranty. Who knows if they will ever fix this problem. By the way, the dealer agreed. I think if all GS owners took this position, I would prove so costly to Lexus they might get off thier duff and solve the problem |

Replying to: jon75 (Jan 28, 2009 12:08 pm) The insertion point is midway between the defroster vent & the speaker on each side. I used 6" (wide) x 1 1/4 (deep) x 1/4 (thickness) vibration damper pads, one on each side. With a little force, push the pad down the gap between the windshield & dashboard until it's not visible from the inside. No, it's not visible from the outside (that was the first thing I checked after I pushed it in). Foam may not work because it could still cause noise when the dashboard pushes against it when the car runs over bumps. |
