Sad to say my RX has more than fair share of random rattles and creaks from various parts. Not acceptable for such a luxury vehicle. I have pursued them with the dealership a few times but with all the fuss the service techs put up, I decided to live with these issues.
That being said, my latest issue was caused by a loose license plate (and rusty screws holding the license plate) on the hatch door. I invested in a silicone bracket and stainless steel screws; rattles no more.

I got the car back today. It was a sunroof issue. They had the car for 13 days. The noise is gone. They also applied the hesitation fix which improved the way the car accelerates.
All n all, I am happy now!

Congrats!!! I know how that feels. I had a rattle that was fixed by Lexus, and it was such a relief after it was gone. It is great that Lexus fixed the issue for you at the end of your warranty period.

My logic is simple. A "Luxury" brand car with MSRP > $50K should not have issues like random rattles. My previous luxury car didn't.
The issue of random rattles and squeaks in a "Luxury" car only a few years old, signifies poor craftsmanship. And the company should stand behind their product and try to deliver what the customer expects from such a price tag. If not, then they must stand up and say "We have an inferior product, and our cars will never be as good as the Germans"; rather than make up statements to pass the buck.
Now I know i will receive a lot of hate for saying what I just said. Honestly if you have owned a Luxury vehicle prior to Lexus and did not experience quality issues before, comparisons are inevitable.
If someone is happy by spending > $50K on a car that squeaks and rattles at random within a year of ownership; Kudos to you! You just bought a very expensive rattle-toy. I am not that person. I think my hard earned money deserves better. Thats why I do not recommend anyone to buy a Lexus product. (Cue the hate-mail now)

Glad it was fixed, noises can be a pain for sure.

Just throwing another "click" out here that I recently had fixed. My rear hatch lock kept trying to auto-lock every 30 seconds (it was malfunctioning) so I'd hear this click, click, click but when the car went off the click also went away. The dealer spent 4 hours tracing it down yesterday so finally no more clicking. Luckily, the malfunction did not interfere with the hatch unlocking so I was able to use it as normal which made it harder to figure out. Now, if I could just figure out what is "rattling" around my drivers door I'd be happy. So far, it seems my car is shy and I only hear it when I'm in the car. It seems the last 2 times when I took a lexus tech on a drive, the sound wasn't there. Very frustrating.

(2016) Mine too but I thought it was coming from where the security belt wheel is located. They said it is the rear door arm assembly (and shows some signs of rust too) that shakes. The parts are order and waiting for an appointment to change them. Still 4 months of warranty left...

Ticking/clicking noise from backseat passenger side
Hello everyone .... Its been a while since I've been on this site. My 2018 RX350 F Sport has a ticking or clicking sound coming from the 40% passenger backseat. When someone is sitting in the seat or the seat is moved forward or when the backrest is completely down the noise disappears. The dealer has told me that there is nothing they can do. Has anyone had this issue and was it resolved.
Thanks for your support.

An irregular noise could be like a rattle and much harder to find.

Is this a consistent, constant clicking? Or is it occasional, like when going over a bump? If it's a constant, regular clicking, then it sounds like an electric relay or motor and it should be pretty easy to identify by tracing the sound.

Love the RX but frustrated with the noise.
Please help.

I recently bought a 2021 rx fsport. Sometimes I notice clicking sound coming from the back (Feel like its from the trunk area). It does not sound always and sometimes the sound comes even when the car is stopped. Has anyone had this problem before?
