My wife and I bought a CPO 2007 RX-350 a few weeks ago. I am a "rattle and random noise" freak, I'm sorry to say, so hear goes. We have two issues.....one has been identified and one still remains.

First one is the rattle/vibration coming from the back of the vehicle while driving over rough spots in the street. I traced it to the spare tire cover under the car. Even though the spare is pulled up tight against the underbody, the protective plastic cover that covers the bottom side cannot be pulled tight against the spare........that is, I haven't found a way yet. I took a piece of corrugated cardboard and stuffed it in one of the openings in the cover, thereby insulating the cover from the tire itself. That took care of the problem.

The other problem is a sound that I believe is coming from inside the front right passenger door. When I come to a quick stop, or, conversely, when pulling away from a stop, I hear what sounds like a loose screw or perhaps a bolt rolling around inside the door compartment. I will have the dealer check it on my first service.

Hope this helps, if either one of these issues are one of yours.

This forum is a great tool for owners ! :)

I have an '07 RX 350 which developed a rattle in what seemed like the right rear of the cargo bay. When in for the next service visit I mentioned it to my rep and he said there was a service bulletin for this issue and would be covered under warranty. They replaced a "panel" and the noise went away. It was only when on rough pavement or hitting a speed bump or driveway. I happily report no other noises (of course except the "roar" with all the glass down and doing 140MPH).
