Couple of issues with my GS
I've got an appointment at Lexus tomorrow to drop off the car. Wanted to see if the issues I have are normal to the GS, as I've owned GSs in the past, but not the new body style.
1. The rearview mirror seems awfully loose. Like a bump or driving over a hole would cause it to shift slightly. Not to a point where it drops down but enough so that I have to readjust.
2. The center console. I prefer the old one where there was 2 compartments, one above and one below over the current one where it opens to 2 instead of being separate. My issue is that mine is a bit loose too, like when you touch the cover it moves slightly left and right, like it wasn't installed properly.
3. I'm not sure about this one, but whenever I hit a bump on the freeway or even roll over a speed bump, I hear this clunk in the trunk. I've heard this clunk before when I had a sound system installed and the box in spare tire well wasnt properly seated. It sounds like a shelf dropping down, like maybe something isn't secured back there.
Just let me know if any of this sounds normal? So I dont waste the dealers time to try and fix something that isn't broken. Thanks.

Update
Picked it up at dealer today. Fixed issues.
Had a defective passenger sideview mirror, they replaced with new one. Tightened rear view mirror, said console movement was normal, and removed spare compartment and re-installed, noises gone.
Im waiting for the TPM kit to come so I can install on my new wheels to get ride of annoying low pressure warning light and exclamation light.
Need to remove front wheel well plastic strip and roll fenders tomorrow so wheels will stop rubbing in front.

you running nitrogen in your tires?
It's much more stable than regular air and won't fluctuate but 1/4 of regular air.
My warning lights for tire pressure have come on maybe once. I have had temps from -10 to 70.

don't know who else has nitro, but it's standard at my lexus dealer....
Since I have some airport associates I also have a tank as my disposal there.
Try and get it if you can....
Longer wear, more reliable, ex. just better.
