problem #1

IS 300 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

High wind noise and flapping noise from the driver door; it's very annoying and unconvertible driving on the highway because of the noises produced by this problem. Lexus claims their cars as luxury cars, but also claims that a wind noise and a flapping noise are normal for $34K luxury cars. I took the car in and they even did not want to try to fix the problem.
