I recently had an intermittent vibration in the steering column. It only happens when I turn off the ignition and the steering wheel retracts. On top of that, it only happened about 1 time in 20. The dealer said it was a known problem and though they could not repeat it, they put in some "shims". This has reduced the rate from 1 in 20 to once in a blue moon, though it does still happen on occassion. If anyone can shed light on this problem, and what the true fix is, please advise.

thanks.

The "shims" were a fix until Lexus redesigned the steering column. Now it is available, the dealership should replace the ENTIRE column, motors and all.

Sooner

they do not replace tge column just the tube assembly and possibly the motors, also the shims
