Squeak, Squeak!

[enquiries@frzr.com]

Hi

Just taken delivery of my new IS250SE, most certainly the best purchase I have made for the price. Each day I fall in love with the car a little bit more (a first for me).

Just one irritant, I have a squeak somewhere around the drivers door. Sounds like two items rubbing together. The Dealer has sprayed some silicone over the area, but to no avail. It appears to start at any speed and only softens over really smooth services.

The car is as quiet as a mouse otherwise, so this 'squeak' is driving me mad! Has anyone come across this before and hopefully found a solution?

Comments and suggestions would be really appreciated.

I took delivery of my IS250 SE NAV yesterday, and noticed a similar squeak coming from the passengers door today while driving with the audio off. Its even more noticable because apert from that the car is so quiet.

I will pop into the dealer in the next few days and see it they can sort it out for me.

Apart from this very small issue, i absolutely love the car :D

PS Has anyone found out a list of commands that can be used for voice commands, as I can't seem to find a list in the manual.

Oh dear three owners with squeeks, hope this is not a major problem. I notice you all have SE's and wonder if this is connected?

Thanks lee. I will have a look at that document. After further reading of the satnav manual, (its like War & Peace!!) it looks like you can get a list of commands via the on-screen help section.

look in the workshop section for a topic about a squeaky seatbelt - it may well be the same prob u have

My squek has now dis-appeared all off its own accord. Very strange

Well done that man, you have the answer! Move the seatbelt height adjuster down a couple of notches, now complete silence. Thanks, you have increased my enjoyment when driving the car enormously.

[DarrenJBird]

ahhh that would make sense, as the squeak disappeared after the other half had been in the car who must have adjusted the seat belt height

Hi again, after all that optimism, the squeak has returned!

At least we know what it is - the upper seat belt adjuster squeaks or rattles, especially when the car is cold - as soon as the car interior warms up it nearly disappears! Pushing in a bit of tissue helps, but as the adjuster is situated by your right ear, even the slightest noise in this quiet car is noticeable. I will wait until Lexus have had to deal with a few of these issues and then hopefully return the car for a fix.

Any suggestions other than tissue would be appreciated, looks like I am suffering from a bad cold!!

Mine rattles too from both front doors and the dash Dealer says that a clip is loose in the door panel It is in for 2 days next week will post after wards

Do you seriously have to leave your car with the dealer for two days for a rattle. I got a whole sub-frame replaced on my Volvo in 6 hours. Maybe the UK dealers are inundated with work.
