clay1 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I just got my new IS 250 - after a couple of days I noticed a small ticking noise (plastic on plastic maybe) on the passengers side every so often. I like to drive sometimes in total utter silence (when not listening to the xm) - which is the reason I just traded my 06 Honda Civic - too many ticks and cracks. I think this noise at this point is too minor for any service to really detect. I think I am just being oversensitive on this. Any thoughts? How's your car ride?

lambobaby1218 Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I've been having this issue, as well. I had an '06 that did it incessantly. Lexus never found a problem with it. Even after having the recalled seatbelts installed, it still did it. My newer '07 does it less, but I can tell it's still there. It's nice to see someone else who is so fanatic about the noise in their car!! lol!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StupidDent Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 something in the glove compartment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwis250 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I have a '07 IS250 only 3 months old and a rattling noise is coming from the left hand corner of the windshield. It is sometimes quite loud. I don't want to have the dealer check it because I'm afraid they will take the dash apart to look for the noise. I'm sure if they do, other problems will develop.

nhman Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 I have a 07 IS350 and have a similar (if not identical) ticking coming from the same area. The dealer made some adjustment to the glove box area. I believe they installed some type of tape. The problem seemed to be resolved but 3 days later the problem resurfaced. The ticking has been on/off for the last 3 months. I just haven’t had time to bring it back. I have noticed that there a lot of rattles/ticking sounds coming from the interior, very surprising for a 2nd year model on a high-end make.

clay1 Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 something in the glove compartment? Unbelievable - after I read you post I was like - there isn't anything in the damn glove compartment but the manual. So I am driving home and I open the box and I noticed that the manual (which is the size of the old and new testaments together) and wrapped in leather is sitting on the shelf on the right side - I was like what the hell I'll take it out. No more ticking for the last 75 miles. Thanks for saving my sanity (at least in the short term). Really can't thank you enough. Drove to work 5:30 this am for 50 miles in complete and utter silence.

TOOL IS350 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 After owning mine for 2 days i started hearing a noise coming from the passenger side door area, i couldnt stand it.. When i started looking over there it was just a CD case on the floor...Make sure nothings just loose floating aroung in a compartment.

I usually just give a huge whack on that part of area :chairshot: And, of course, after a while, that doesn't work anymore. So, yeah, it's pretty hard to spot that little noise, especially on the passenger side. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartkat Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Make sure the little shelf in the glove box is properly attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StupidDent Posted May 29, 2007 Share Posted May 29, 2007 clay1, I am glad that was an easy fix for you. ;) Trina, sorry that wasn't your case. few more things I could think of for you. - something under the passenger seat or door? - contact surface betweent the a-piller and the dash? (try stuffing some kind of foam in between temperory to see if it goes away). - Window stopper. Try with passenger window down at various height and see if that helps. - Glove compartmet latch. Try with glove compartment open. - blower. Try with fan on and off at various fan speed. good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My car situation has changed recently, my husband is driving the car now full-time, and I am driving my Prius (purchase of another car that isn't to be driven full-time). My husband is basically deaf (seriously, from flying and skydiving), so he doesn't hear any of the rattles. If I drive it, I just turn up the radio........ ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
