Start having vibration (only at 100kms per hour) at 16000kms. When I went to check this issue (took my car 5 times to my dealer!!!) they confirmed that I have not one tire issue but on 4 tires. Of course they won't take any responsibilities nor providing a feed back or putted in writing. All we got is OEM tire issue. So you purchase a car from Lexus and you must deal with OEM tires!!! Anyone having same issue? Any good tire brand to use instead of Dunlop? Please let me know as this is a safety issue and must replace my tires urgently. Btw, I've calibrated my tires 3 times and still the same. Tks

Find a new dealer.

I have seen people on this forum (I read most of the pages) with this issue before and good news (?) it's normal. It sucks but it's normal lol. If you can find a place that does "road force" balancing they can clean it up.

I've had a vibration from day 1 on my GX, I've had the tires road force balanced 3 times, hasn't helped a bit, they put new wheels on it, balanced again, didn't help at all. I've kind of narrowed it down to when the tires are cold, once they are up to operating tempature the vibration goes away. I'm leaning towards it's the tires but I'm having a hard time dishing out the money for new tires since my tires with 21K on them still have a lot of tread left.

Sorry if I am stating the obvious (if you already know this), but there is a TSIB for vibration. It entails changes to the preload in your steering rack AND in some (or maybe all - I don't remember) cases, new tires as well.

Do you have a copy of it? Where can I find it?

I thought I didn't have it; then I found this!

It says right in the TSB that if vibration stops after warm up do nothing, temporary flat spotting of tires. I will confess that I didnt read all 33 pages though.

Awesome!!! Thank you so much. Gotta love forums.

I feel yeah.

Same problem here, 110-125 Kmh. Did the road force and that sorted it out for like 3k kilometers and vibration is back again but not as bad as it use to.

dealer is plain useless. If you are to replace the tires, then go for Michelins.

Thank you so much!

Just noticed the same rattle in the front passenger seat when unoccupied. It rattles over every joint in the concrete pavement. Has anyone had success taking it back to the dealer for a remedy?

Yup I've noticed this in my '14 as well, passenger seat headrest vibrates a lot. It doesn't make enough noise to bother me. I wonder if this is due to the active headrest design.

I'm certainly not going to take it in for a little occasional rattle here or there....too much to go wrong if the dealer has to disassemble dash trim, door trim, etc. I'm afraid they'll make it worse. I can live with it.

Taking my GX to the dealer on Monday to check out the rattle in the front passenger seat. The wife drives it herself and unoccupied, the front passenger seat rattles over any joint in the roadway. Its such a quiet vehicle you really notice it. I can get it to stop rattling by applying a lateral push by hand to the side of the seat back as I drive it, so I think something is loose in the seat back or rails.

I purchased a set of new LTX MS2 tires back in October and a week ago a got a nail on the right front tire, specifically the side wall so they couldn't fix it so they replaced the tire with a new one. Now when I step on the brakes at 60 mph, the steering wheel vibrates. Can the new tire be causing that? I looked at the weights and one set of weights is taped kind of crooked, can the balancing cause it too?
