If you are asking for help, here's some points.

There's a TSB on the CD player. ( AU001-03 FEB 03 Audio System - CD Changer Jamming )

The dash rattle may be coming from somewhere else as sound does tranmit though metal parts and the source can be really hard to locate. You might be able to find it yourself with help from a passenger to track it down.

Did the car have regular maintenance? Trans do require some service.

Shocks and stuts do wear out.

Most of the TSB's are listed at this url.

Thanks,

I was trying to post in the problems area, but hey, this will work..

Dash rattle can't be found. Dealer tried, & had no luck nor did I..

The car has had regular maintenance. More than normal fluid changes.

The transmission, has had 2 fluid changes, sounds of squeeking come to mind when driving hard & the trans shifts. Clean screen, good fluid, no metal (Looking into a rebuild, Lexus told me that there trans don't wear out, but it doesn't explain mine.) Doesn't like shifts from 2-3 gear.

No offence, but the lexus dealer that (was) close to me, (I've moved )I wouldn't send my enemy to. When (Fixing the dash problem, I recieved the car back with a loose center console, and a broken CD changer, all of which they accept no responsibiltiy for because I was over my warrenty) I fixed the console myself after ordering fasteners to screw it back together.(After speaking with lexus about this they agreed to fix my Cd changer, but I would have to go with out for 3-4 weeks, for me this isn't an option)

Not sure if anyone knows that, Lexus warrenty is only good in your country, Lexus dealer in the US won't work on my car. (Live in Canada & work in US)

Now that I have all that off my back... I still enjoy my car, rear wheel drive simply can't be beat.

Lates,
