FarmBoy Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I have a 2000 330ES that makes several clunking/creaking sounds when accelerating. It seems to be coming from the front right. The dealer says it is the frame that is bent ( no idea how that could be ) but my guess is the subframe bolts or the transaxle or motor mounts. How do I convince the dealer to fix it? It is still under warranty - 86000 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To make sure about this, I would call the Lexus Corporation and ask. :( P.S. Welcome to the club. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
