Hello All,

My beautiful pearl 2004 GS300 with 43,000 miles and it makes a strange noise when it accelerates from a stopping point. It sounds like rocks or pebbles are moving under the hood. I've read many complaints regarding this matter, but I've seen no solution or feedback of someone who tried a solution and it worked.

By the way, thanks for the help in advance. Im a young lady and when I go to the mechanic or Lexus dealership, it makes me more comfortable when I know what Im talking about. LOL.

I LOVE LEXUS!

Thank you very much. The car is about a year old to me. I will check these out to see it it helps. And I have added my personal photo. I will take a pic of my car today and add it as well.

Have a great day!

Welcome to the club! :cheers:

Sounds like pinging. Could be the grade of fuel you're using or a batch of bad gas. You could also be running a bit lean.

I was getting this sound too, after I found that my antifreeze level was really low I’ve added more and it went a way.

so check the level of your antifreeze.

Could it be leafs in venting system? I get the noise even after i start the car. Opened hood recently and found lots of leafs stuck in venting entrance under the hood right before the windshield

Thanks,

I will absolutely check my antifreeze. That sounds weird though, that that noise would be caused by lack of antifreeze.

I will let ya know...
