Interesting Rattle!

[matt555]

Anyone know anything about this one?

Vibration from the passenger B pillar or roof lining!

It only occurs when there is no passenger and with any decent bass. It's been driving my misses mad, so she's dropped the motor off this morning.

I believe it to be related to the pretensioner on the passenger side, which could explain why you only get this with no passenger.

I'll let you know how it goes with the dealer.

I don't know much about it, but I know it's ANNOYING. Haven't been able to track down the cause, but I have noticed, too, that it doesn't occur with a passenger. Anxious to know what the dealer has to say about it!

I had a rattle when they replaced the driver seatbelt on recall. Try passenger sitting in the back and trying to touch to find where it is rattling.

I had the same problem on the drivers side. I pinponted my problem to the button on the seat belt adjuster. When I held it the vibration stopped. Changed under warranty and is perfect now.

Wow! What service........

So the misses dropped the IS off at Lexus Oxford and then collected it after work.

When you consider it only went in for the rattle they could not detect on the passenger side, I'm mighty impressed with what has been carried out.

1 - Passenger side B pillar taken apart and packed out = No more rattle

2 - The Rear View mirror no longer vibrates = They've not even discussed that, but it's fixed?

3 - Inside and out cleaned real good = nice

All in all a completely different experience from what we've received from Porsche/VW/Audi, just wish they'd make a supa hot hatch for me...
