I took delivery of the 2024 Lexus GX550 a couple of weeks ago and enjoy driving it both in town and on highway. On highway at 65 mph or greater I do notice a slight vibration in the hood. I have reported this to the Lexus representative. Also, lots of bugs on windshield but I cannot find a bug deflector anywhere for this year/model. Any suggestions?

No issues with OT+ after 250 miles, about 2/3 on highway 60-75mph. Check the latches and press hood down firmly.

Been driving at 70MPH plus and I think I noticed something?, because now I know what to look for. If I didn't know about his issue, I would never noticed it.

My 3rd Gen Tacoma has this too! I remember people were buying their own glue to glue the two layers of the hood together. I still have that glue in my Amazon wish list.

Uh, you got that right.

I took my LX570 through my regular car wash, it has a crazzzzzy dryer.... more powerful than normal. Hood doesn't move a millimeter, nothing does.

I was thinking of this thread when that was happening.

The hood of my 2023 Tacoma also vibrates a bit... but it was $44k, not $80k. Different expectations.
