Dear All: I am having a problem with my IS, I am not sure has anyone mention about this problem before. If so pls ignore this message.
When I driving in a long coner there will be some noise frm the back of my seat something like "ike ike", I try to bounce on the seat when the car is stopped it dosen't have any noise!? Does anyone has the same problem and how you solve it!? It is quite annoying...
Please help

try pushing your lower back into the seat. i have this noise. it sounds like the lumbar bag is not placed in there right and its squeaking. i called the dealership and they said to bring it in, i just havent had time.
i know there are more posts on this. if its not my noise, there is a TSB on the seat rails. this might be your issue seeing its a noise during cornering and not acceleration. i get mine when accelerating and switching positions.

I have this noise, it sounds like a paper box rubbing against plastic, almost like record scratching. It's annoying but I have yet found what causes it.

Mine had 2. I had a noise sounded passenger rear. Found out while having someone else drive, it was the sunroof inside cover. They lubed & tightened something and it went away, then discovered another
The plastic piece housing the center brake light was rubbing (only during colder temps)... wedged a cloth in it and it went away... still need to let the dealer look when I go in for a visit

This problem was addressed many months ago.. When the car gets warm there is a noise that comes from the backseat area. There are tabs at the top of the rear window that need to be removed. I took my car in and they removed the tabs and the sqeaking stopped. If my memory serves me correctly, the tabs are located near where the rear window and the roof connect. I hope this helps.
