*HELP* creaky/squeaking noise from driver side

[IS300silver]

Hi all,

I am from USA and bought a IS300 5 months ago. From month 2, I notice there is creaky/squeaking noise coming from somewhere of the driver side occasionally(I thought it is from the driver seat.) I brought it back to the dealer twice and they can't find anything wrong. Anybody has the same problem? Could you let me know how to fix it? This is really annoying and drives me nuts.

Appreciate your help!

Hi Helen and bonour from France, I've just been today to see my dealer for a noise in front when I brake, he told me it was a silent block to change on my sportcross, they will do it next friday, if this could help you

Best regards

Thanks Vincent. I can't tell when the noise will happen. I will go to the dealer again today and this is my third visit! The worse thing is when I go to the dealership, most of the time I can't duplicate the problem :( I think they think I am a crazy woman!

Hi Helen

I've had exactly the same problem with my IS300. Took it back to the dealer and they could'nt hear anything. They said they'd greased the runners on the drivers seat, just for good measure. Guess what!! The noise stopped, but only for about two months. It does'nt happen as often now, so i'm just going to make sure I get the runners greased every service! I hope that helps a bit.

Cheers

Martin,

I will let the dealer do the same thing today and see if it will solve the problem.

Thanks a lot!

a few of us have had a problem with the seat belt buckle squeaking - have a quick look in the workshop section under the heading " got a squeaky seat?" - sorry this computer wont let me paste the link to the post.:(

I had the same kind of problem (common I think).

The dealer said "Aah yes, we know what that is" - when it came back they had sprayed silicone grease on the seat-belt buckle mounting bolt AND the leather where it meets the seat base (yes really).

Didn't make a scrap of difference except the seat-belt stalk moves about a lot easier and I had to clean the seats

I sprayed a small amount of SG in each of the stalks (where the buckle latches in to) and, although it still creaks occasionally, it seems a lot better.

Hi

I am new to IS 200 but so far enjoying it.

cured my squeek by applying Autoglym leather cream and softened leather it seems to be holding out.:P

I've got exactly that problem, you can tell if its that by holding the seat belt buckle tight each one in turn and see if it stops. I haven't got round to fixing it yet as normally if it starts I just move it slightly and it stops.
