Why not just ask the dealer to address the issue. Perhaps they have it already...

Here you go. It says it is only for '06's, but if you have the same type rattles it is worth a try although you'll probably get some pushback for them to do it. Not aware of one specifically for the '07's:

my service advisor said every car's problem is different, he means every 2IS has its own unique dash rattle. so they have to test drive my car and see which is causing the problem.

MY QUES IS:

Isn't is obvious it's the dash? And since there's TSIB, so isn't it kinda fixed where the problem inside the dash is?

There isn't a TSIB for the '07 or '08. They changed the design and incorporated the TSIB fix into the car's production, so there is no TSIB related to dash rattles, buzzes, vibrations, or noises for the '07 and '08 model years.

So your service advisor is telling you the truth. Let them do their jobs and quit complaining about a non-existent TSIB.

Also, this seems to bear repeating - TSIBs address problems Lexus is finding complaints about. Those complaints are common enough and frequent enough to get their attention to authorize a common procedure under warranty to address the complaint. TSIBs are NOT recalls. They address specific complaints. Nothing more, nothing less. MANY TSIBs get "fixed" at the factory, so there is a cutoff in the VIN for affected units. Units built after the fix are NOT subject to the TSIB. TSIBs also include things like predelivery inspection procedures, and other issues common across the Lexus line, so the NUMBER of TSIBs you see on a website is NOT indicative of quality issues or even common failures.

Having a dealer do a TSIB for an issue you have not experienced is just plain DUMB. If you are NOT experiencing a problem - if the dash doesn't squeak, if the engine doesn't make noise on start up, if the brake dust doesn't bother you - LEAVE YOUR CAR ALONE!!!

My dealer did it for my '07. They told me they won't do TSBs unless they hear/see the problem, so they obviously heard it. Interetstingly, they didn't want the printed TSB, because they like their techintions to trouble shoot the problem on their own, in case it's something else.

I recently discovered where my noise is coming from. The hood over the guages has 2 screws. If I push in on the screw on the right side, I hear the noise. Of cousre, I discovered this AFTER I had them do the TSB (which helped, but didn't solve it).

I had this fixed on my 07 because it was getting to me. They had the car for a week and installed a noise kit, no more rattles, you all should get this done.
