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. |

Replying to: jon75 (Jan 29, 2009 10:08 pm) won't be available until late January 09. Already made an appointment for it in two weeks along with recent Lexus recalls/special service campaigns.
