Hi Everyone - I’ll caveat this by stating I really like my vehicle but am not very knowledgeable in car speak so bear with me
I’ve had an issue for about a year on my 2013 LC 200. When going under say 5 miles an hour and running over a small bump (entering garage cement lip, driveway exit, etc) I get a low squeaking noise that drives me nuts. When in the driver seat it sounds like a low groan/ squeak that fades out like marble or something rolling back and forth to a standstill under the front dash driver side. However when I put the car in park, open the drivers door and physically rock the vehicle to sway left and right I can quickly stick my head under the vehicle under the middle row of seats and it almost sounds like something is moving back and forth in the frame or somewhere in that area ( by and large exact same sound which may simply be manifesting itself differently depending on where one is). It stops after a second or two but is loud enough to hear in the car. It does not happen in the winter interestingly enough. Dealer #1 had the vehicle for a week and “heard nothing”. For dealer #2 I produced the sound which they confirmed, had the vehicle for a week, and said they could not hear anything. They did say they greased a number of bushings. I’m at a loss where to take it as I only have so much time to drop off at dealers who seem like they really don’t want to solve the problem. I haven’t had any luck taking a recording in the vehicle with my phone as the engine noise picked up by the mic tends to drown out anything else so open to suggestions there too. Any help here would be great I’ll keep trying to get a useful recording
