LS 500 suspension noises
I posted the same issue about 9 months ago. When stopping at low speeds like stop and go traffic, it feels as though the suspension moves. Back and forth with a noise that sounds like something in the trunk moving forward and back.
After a number of trips to the Lexus dealer they finally brought in the zone representative who authorized replacing brakes, calipers,etc. He also said that Lexus was aware of this issue. After about9 months the noises are starting to return. I will contact the dealership after the holidays to see if there is a fix for the issue. My local mechanic who was a service manage at Mercedes and BMW believes the issue is more involved than Lexus has explained.
Any others who have had similar issues?

Yes, happened today. I thought something was loose inside the left rear door. I came to this Forum hoping for an answer. Got it. Thanks.

I took the car in at least 3 times before the zone manager authorized the initial fix. That was about 9 months ago. I have returned to the dealer for other issues; software issues that generate a low oil light and at least 2 Lexus recall items. Only have a little over 12,000 miles on the car.
‘Had my previous LS 400 for about 9 years. Never had one problem with the car. Think they dropped the ball with the 5th generation
