I'm going to keep an eye out on the IS preferably a slightly newer one 2017+ I do prefer the GS300h but the main user is my wife and she prefers the IS so I will stick with that

Update- I've rejected the and they will be collecting the car in the next couple of days and will get a refund Absolutely gutted about this but relieved at the same time as I will get my money back.

So I managed to get the car into Lexus for a check. They pointed out a few issues: 3 out of the 4 jacking points are crushed rear suspension - NSR and OSR coffin arm bush worn Corrosion around where the differential oil goes Quite disappointed with this. Got a call back from Listers regarding jacking points and they said its big work

Hi, I do recall the noise also coming when letting go off the brake pedal. I'll do it again tomorrow and check if it also happens when moving the gear selector. When you mention "footbrake", you are referring to the brake pedal right or the footbrake (parking brake)? Sorry was a little confused Once I sat in the car I released the footbrake and didn't apply is again until the end when I was turning the car off.

Yeah, the earliest is end of next week for someone to take a look at it.

Thanks. I spoke to another mechanic and he said it sounds suspension related but can't see the car for a couple of weeks

are shims covered by the warranty?

Managed to get a bit of recording when going forward slowly, its not great but hopefully you can hear it WhatsApp Video 2024-09-27 at 08.59.35_6327afb6.mp4 I did sent the video to my local Lexus dealer and he said it can be a few things including "if the noise is more persistent from the rear, it could potentially need a new Rear Shim Kit."

I will spend bit more time on this including recording whilst going forward and will post the video. I honestly don't think this is normal though

Going to give this a few days and see if the noise goes away. Went to see a chap who live close to me and has the is300h and his car is very quiet when reversing/moving forward and braking. My brother's ct200h is very quiet also

Spent a bit of time with the car and it mainly happens when braking and lifting the foot off the brake Lexus3.mp4

So I just spoke to the manager and he mentioned they had replaced front and rear brake pads discs as the discs were corroded a little. The car has done 47k miles. He said to give it a few days as it might be the breaks need to be bedded in. I'll see how it goes for a few days and hope this goes away

Yes I might give them a shout although I'm really disappointed. Having spent £13.5 you wouldn't expect it. I don't understand how their prep team didn't notice it. Now the sales chap doesn't seem to think its a problem

Interesting, thanks for that.

Thanks, completely different sounds, no idea why he would say it is
