You'd think by now that Lexus would seriously look into this issue and have a fix for it. It seems like quite a few IS-F's have been affected. Salil thanks for your help on this!

Guys i am really disappointed with my dealer or i should say Lexus Corporate as they are not helping me what so ever!!! I purchased my car back in Aug 08 with 5k miles on it...It was a demo car...Anyways right after i purchased the car i noticed strange metal clicking sound after the car warms up and i brought it to their attention. So the mechanic checked it out and he agreed that their is some strange metal sound, He told me that they will have to call the lexus regional rep and see what they have to say about it...After waiting for their answer they said it's normal and can not do anything about it!!
It's definitely not a normal sound as my friend has an IS-F too and his does not sound like that...I know that these engines have direct injection sound...This metal clicking sound is coming from the bottom of the motor and it gets loud..It's more noticeable on the driver's side bottom.
Guys if someone knows of a good dealer in NJ/MD/PA area let me know...i want this issue resolved as my Dealer is just BS'ing me!!!
This is from Lexus of Cherry Hill, NJ where me and my friend both purchased IS-F's on the Same Day.
Sorry for venting guys
