Default Creaking in 2016 ES 350

We recently purchased a 2016 ES 350 with 22K miles on it. Everything functions flawlessly but there is an annoying creaking that can be heard coming from, what sounds to me either the right side dashboard, the center pillar/door post or the sunroof areas. It occurs when driving over bumps and only when the front passenger seat is not occupied. I'm not overly concerned as we have about 10 months left on the factory warranty and I can alwa bring it back to the dealership to track it down and repair. . Anyone have, a similar problem and remedy for this issue?

The was a problem with rattling from the sunroof of '13-'15 models. I had it and it required the replacement of the entire sunroof module. It was a design issue that I believe was corrected by the time of your car. But, you could always visit your dealer and bring that issue to the their attention and ask if the problems were corrected by the time your car was produced.

Good luck

Actually, I just went through the same thing with my 2016 and responded in another thread on the same topic here: https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...1#post10512411

Has anyone heard of this problem or a similar problem with the RX350?

I wondered why my '14 has a small piece of heavy plastic film (about 10 mil?) slipped between very bottom of the cover of the A pillars and the end of the dash where the two pieces meet. You may have just answered my question.
