The poor placement and location of the cup holders. I really like the BMW's and AUDI's despite what some people say.
The drivers door handle creaks when you pull on it to close it - very cheap sounding.
Hmmm...
The non-flush fitment of the doors and dash, and where the center console (stereo) meets the dash. Lots of poor fitment and gaps. I guess all the rave reviews on fitment refer to the outside.

No doubt. WTF.
Here's my list of bugs:
1) Insects stick to the front of the car when I hit them at 100+ MPH.
2) Black leather seats get hot when the car sits in the sun.
3) Chrome exhaust outlets get dirty.
4) I can hear road noise when driving. Lexus cars should be dead-silent at any speed.
5) Radio doesn't automatically mute when commercials are on.

~behind upper seat belt pivot, B-pillar rattle for me~
After many miles of trying to figer out where the noise is comming from, I concluded that it is from the window. Rattle is only noticable with window up, not cracked or opened. Let me know what you guys think.
Anyone took theirs to dealer?
I looked up dealer service bulletins and not a thing about driver side rattle.

When you park the car and open the door BEFORE turnging the car off, that bell beeps forever with no way of turning it off (unless you hit the button on the inside of the door). THis shoudl not beep so much and as loudly as it does. very annoying...
WHen you select 'text' display on the non-navi decks, it does not keep that setting when you turn the car off. Bugs me a little.
Bu tyou know, most of these issues, IMO, are minor and i'm very happy with the car.

I mentioned the rattling in the suspension and how you can not even use the rear view mirrow when the moon roof is open due to vibrating. As far as leather wrinkles, that doesn't bother me it has happened in every car I have owned, I kind of expected to see it.

The only issue I've had is that the moonroof was/is defective on my car. After opening it the first time, it would not close completely (when the car was two weeks old). I'm on my forth trip to the dealer and the roof just keeps getting worse and worse. As it stands now, the seals are pulling free from the glass and the car leaks like a sieve. Do to this I also have an amazing amount of wind noise and whistle, like a window barely cracked open... it's driving my crazy!!!
As to the issues about the leather, there have been a few threads where the seats were defective (as proven by Lexus) and the amount of wrinkles were not the normal wear and tear on the cars. I've not had this problem but others have.

Well there is the nav system bug, experienced by a handful of people here, where the current location becomes way off target for a period of time. In my case, it started in August when the car was 8 months old, and has happened about once every two weeks ever since. Haven't brought it to the dealer yet, because a problem this intermittant is going to be very difficult for them to track down.

I've got an 07 250 rwd
1.if i just tilt the moonroof open and not actually open it, it doesn't like to close most of the time, it just tries to close then goes right back open
1.sometimes I press the button on the door handle to lock it, it won't lock.. not sure why, it's only happened a couple times.
I think that's all I've found so far.
