I've had my 17 300 for about 6 months now and apart from the weird transmission behavior at times, I love it. The only thing I HATE is the tons of rattles that are in the cabin when going over semi-smooth to rough pavement. I can't even begin to list them all, they literally pop up from all areas of the interior. In the beginning, there was a rattle near the driver side vent that went on for about 2 months and then went away, then it was the driver side b pillar, that went away too. Now, its coming from the passenger side door. The center console armrest has started to squeak and rattle now. Anyone else have these issues? I am disappointed that a Lexus has this especially since most Toyotas I have been in do not have this issue. Of course when I take it to my first complimentary service, I will bring these issues up but as you may know, Lexus service centers always want you to be able to reproduce the noises before they even bother considering fixing them. Kind of hard to do sometimes....

that's an unusual complaint here i think. my 16 with 11k is rattle free...so far. got a year and a half left on the lease #fingerscrossed. good luck.

You have a defective car. Mine is 5 years old and no rattles at all.

FWIW, My 16 is rattle free. it once had a very slight plastic sound emanating from the center console area behind the radio, but that only lasted a couple months then went away. I could likely disassemble it myself and fix whatever it is if it ever comes back. i wouldn't waste my time with a dealer trying to jerk with my car in "trying" to find the sound.

can you record the noises in a video and post them?

I feel you on the rattles. Ever since I installed my exhaust i have this weird high pitched rattle that comes from the back seat somewhere. Could never figure out what it was. It tends to come and go in long periods. Also recently had some rattle on the passenger side door. Comes and goes randomly as well.

2016 Is350fsport, bought brand new, 33k miles right now.

I hear rattles on driver/passenger side door/vents. Can't really tell where.. it comes and goes. Although I only hear these slight rattles when going over bad roads.

But again.. my car has exhaust, lowered, some interior pieces taken apart and put back, etc, etc. Might had been the cause..=\

Freaking the lock/unlock buttons and mirror adjustment pad rattle a lot. Anyone got that fixed from the dealer??

Raghza

Yes, my dealership fixed it by adding felt tape on the button console.
You can also do it yourself.

My center console rattles when my arm is not on it....I cant stand rattles. I keep my arm on it until I pick up some felt tape.

Fixed my previous cars interior with felt tape.

And the license plate frame with rubber sticky and tape as well.

I'm not sure if the high pitched rattle you're referring to is the same issue I dealt with, but it sounds similar. It started after I installed my exhaust. It would come and go and I had trouble pinpointing the cause. I was almost positive it was coming from the back seat, but couldn't find it, so I took apart my trunk panels, deck lid housing, etc. and came up with nothing.

After that, I ended up exploring the back seat area further and discovered the cause. In my case, it was coming from the inner seat belt assemblies on the left and right side of the back seat (the pieces that the strap/buckle actually snaps into). I adjusted it and no more annoying rattles.

Mine had some rattles during my first year with it. Dealer fixed them no charge, and they haven't come back.
