Mine never made a noise that I'm aware of, all of a sudden just wouldn't turn over and start and that was at 3000 miles.
I called 800-25-Lexus and spoke with Lexus Customer Service, asked them to cover my payment while waiting for parts to come in, they're going to see how long it takes to get my car fixed and then let me know.
My wheels are gonna be here next week, and I'm gonna have to put them on my loaner car hahah, but really that's not funny.

Not sure why high pressure fuel pump is so difficult for BMaw to resolve on its turbos when manufacturers such as Porsche have no fuel pump issues in its turbo and high performance engines. Stay on top if Lexus at the corporate, not dealer level, and keep us updated. Hopefully, this is a few one off issues or an issue that will be quickly resolved.
Is Lexus fuel pump outsourced or a Bosch part?

About a month ago I took my RC-F in for the wing issue, days before that I had noticed that the car was kind of noisy like if there was a cooling fan kicking, obviously I checked my gauges everything read normal so when I got to the dealership I mentioned the above said, they looked into they found that it was the fuel pump making the noise and that it was pushing out black gunk from its internal components the shop foreman at my dealership said it wasn't the fuel tank, they ended up having to order a new fuel pump which took about 3 weeks to come in, anyone else had that same issue? also apparently my RC-F runs on synthetic blend oil according to my dealership it's the only one with that oil type as its supposed to be fully synthetic any thoughts on that?
Update: Car is on a parts hold waiting for a fuel pump.

I had my RC F in for the 1,000 check up, mentioned the fuel pump, and they did a thorough visual examination and diagnostic. I'm not having this issue. For that matter, I am not having an issue with the seat belt and the leather on the seat.

I would recommend you to keep an eye on it, because when it happened to me I had about 4,000 miles and most of the other owners with the issue have been around the same mileage.

Absolutely. I have already asked the dealership to stock 1-2 fuel pumps (hopefully replacements) for the few RC F drivers in my neck of the woods.

I Don't know if this would be considered a Problem, but the Only issue i've noticed is a couple of times that i've washed my wheels & dried them & let it set up overnite , the next day when i went to leave in it it wouldn't go forward or backward! It FELT just like you would have the Emergency Brake on & there was a Resistance. Finally after calling the Dealer cause i didn't want something to Break (after talking to about 4 different employees none of them had a clue but one told me to just give it more gas) & sure enuff'' it let loose but with a LOUD Pop just like something did Break but i guess it hasn't yet. It drives fine but it's happened twice now & i was just wondering if anybody has ever had this happen!

I get the same thing with my IS after a wash and let it dry for hours. Same with my past RX's and the NX currently. I believe it's the surface rust that forms (after a wash) on the rotors seizing the brake pads which are so close in clearance to the rotors. Besides the "painful" thump after the initial move, there's no harm done from my experience. However, I do try to move the car after I wash the car and brake even if it's just a couple feet to prevent the lock. Now of course, the RC F has Brembos, but the symptoms seem to be the same.

Thanks Corrado (i think of the Sopranos when i hear that name, Lol)! But, yep it seems like you've experienced the same thing i was talking about! one of the guys i talked to at the dealership said they will do that sometimes when they've been setting on the lot for 3-4 days & the Rust thing is probably part of it, But Over Nite!
Solution, move your car after your done shooting water on the wheels to rinse

I got my car back Friday before last, seemed as if the car was having a delayed start after, taking an extra second to turnover, so I took back in this past Friday, they double checked everything and said it's all fine, so hopefully I dont' go through it again.
Hope no one else experiences this, especially a 2nd time.
