Thanks guys some interesting comments.

I totally agree winter tyres make a bog difference but traction in rear drive cars, with a lot of power can be more difficult?

I remember late 70s, people in the UK drove in  the snow with chains!

Also with AWD you do get more grip and control, however those inexperienced drivers with AWD (like range rovers etc) do not understand that AWD  vehicles are always heavier vehicles and that means braking.. oh well , exoect the vehicle to lunge forward.  This is already normal, wow. I can't even imagine this. I'm just getting goosebumps right now. I also sometimes use this but not as often as I would like. Everything has its own rules. In general, I like your opinion. That's how it should be

Yes, I remember those seventies too!

Hi all, 

I own a 2009 (58) Lexus IS250 SR. Recently a squeaking sound has developed whenever I drive over potholes/uneven road surfaces. It seems to be coming from within the dashboard driver side, more toward the corner/pillar.

I’ve tried pushing against the dashboard while driving over uneven surfaces to see if it was loose but that doesn’t work. 
 

Any ideas/opinions are most welcome! It’s driving me nuts.

If you can’t see the video, let me know.

Cheers

Check the fixation of the instrument panel:

Make sure the instrument panel is securely fastened. Perhaps some element has weakened or lost stability. Try gently shaking the dashboard to determine if there are any loose or loose parts.
