Default Rolling Sound

Everytime I make turns I hear a noise coming for the indash by the glove compartment as if something is rolling from side to side. I took everything out the car to make sure it wasn't something of mines, and it still made the sound. I think I'm going to take it into Lexus today for them to inspect. But has anyone else encountered this problem?

are you sure it is coming from the dash? i heard a loud rolling sound coming from behind awhile ago. i took the trunk apart to reveal one of the tools for the spare tire was rolling around on the metal center of the spare...just tucked it back together and not a problem since...

For me it was the same - it seemed that it was coming from glove compartment. Closed space - sound source may be deceiving

LOL ! - I really did take my car to the dealership for this! - Twice! - The first time they couldn't find anything (I took the sunglasses out). The second time I hear the noise I drive to the dealership and the shop foreman got into my car and within minutes he found the culprit - Yup - the Sunglasses. I was really embarrassed! - He was glad! - He liked problems like that!

I padded the Sun Glass compartment with felt from Home Depot. Everything is padded except the sides, and when you turn a corner the sunglasses hit the side - Clunk! - I did the same thing! took everything out of the Glove compartment, because I swore it was coming from there - But it wasn't

Lol, I did the same thing, took everything out of the glove and turn out to be the sunglasses. It was driving me crazy. I put the sunglasses inside a case and now the noise is gone.

I heard a rolling sound from my trunk and later found out it was a bug spray can rolling about, how dumb of me to leave it in there.
