Default 2015 Lexus GS 350 fsport creaking noise.

Hey guys I have 2015 Lexus GS 350 fsport , car has 34k miles haven’t had any issues until recently I’m getting an extremely loud creaking noise coming from the passenger side. Sounds like a regular dash creak but now it sounds like it might be coming from the fender . I can hear it when I drive but gets extremely loud when I’m going up or down a drive way slowly . I had someone drive down slowly as I applied pressure to fender and noise stopped and started as soon as I let go. Anybody had any similar issues or suggestions ? Noise is driving me insane !

Join the club haha. Some of these cars are such rattleboxes! Great idea, I'll try and give that a try - that particular noise doesn't occur much at speed, more with braking as you stated.

Probably from the sunroof, but sounds like a suspension creak:
Fix, replace sunroof seal.

It could be something as simple as needing to adjust the hood's rubber adjustment bumper stops that may not currently fit firmly against the hood when it's closed.

I have the exact same issue. When going slow in parking lots on uneven pavement (especially going up a driveway at an angle - right tire first) I get a creaking coming from my passenger side dash area. I posted a thread on it as well. I just had service done on the car and had them try to diagnose it and typically they could not replicate the sound. Love the car but it's unacceptable in my opinion.

It sounds crazy, but I had the same problem. I swore it was the suspension. I had the same symptoms. Creaky going slowly up and down my driveway. In fact the noise sounded like it was coming from the back, but an adjustment to the rubber bumper under the hood on the driver's side fixed it.
