Lexus GX 550 Problems by year

approximately 10 times specifically for this metallic B-pillar rattle. Lexus Corporate has also been involved for months and even sent a corporate field tech to pinpoint the noise.

Please see the service records attached. Yes. It has been inspected repeatedly by Lexus of Tacoma, and by a Lexus corporate. No warning lamps or messages. The only symptom is a persistent metallic ticking/rattle from the B-pillar area over bumpy roads, first noticed shortly after delivery. I have also experienced the identical defect on a separate 2026 GX 550 I own, indicating a possible pattern. Additionally, many owners on the GX 550 and Land Cruiser forums (LC250, which share the same body) report the same B-pillar rattle, indicating a widespread pattern.

Approximately a month later the issue of rough shake at idle remained as well as the transmission being clunky. I then got in contact with Lexus corporate where they advised me to return with the vehicle to Lexus of [[redacted]] where the technician acknowledged that they were able to recreate the issue about 10% of the time and deemed it normal due to the size ratio of the vehicle and deemed the rough shake at idle normal for the vehicle. The technician has acknowledged that the transmission issue is there despite a transmission update being completed and ruled the rough shake norma..I returned on [redacted] to the service center for 5 days where the service was completed.
