Ridecanyon, same thing happened to me. They told me last week would deliver to dealer from QC hold between 7/1 and 7/17. Now my sales guy texted me the photo below, delivery date moved 2 weeks into August. Pretty bummed out this keeps dragging out at every turn for me
For any owners that have the GX 550 in their possession, at what RPM range do your turbos kick in?
Also people talk about the bad gas mileage of the 550, but has anyone tested econ mode vs normal vs sport vs sport + or some other custom variant?
Oof… 6 trips to gas station in 21 days…. The car i’m coming off of was 4 maybe 5 times in 30 days, and thats putting 20k miles a year on it…. This is gonna be a lot of stops to get gas
I told my dealer my top 2 colors were white and silver as well. My allocation was white. They both look great. Don’t pay the markup, and for good measure, tell the salesman you took your business to the other Lexus dealership BECAUSE they are charging a markup, then leave a review on their...
From the looks of every prior post, including mine, they were 5/17 hold start dates.
First in first out, but the 27th is only 10 days after the 17th, so u can speculate that yours will release in 10 days
not sure of the actual build date, but my dealer sent me the allocation build sheet on 4/19, I checked in on 5/3 and my dealer told me it had shipped, got put on hold 5/17, got notice of QC hold release today 6/21
Based on others posts, called my dealer and they sent me the screenshot. Mine is released and expected between 7/1 and 7/17…. My beach vacation is 7/5-7/13😑😑😑😑
The holds started for GX’s showing up in port on 5/17 and after from everything i’ve seen.
I would look closely at the paint on the hood and take it through a carwash to see if your sunroof leaks…. That’s what the holds are allegedly for, travel wrapping messing hood paint up and kinked sunroof...
Even with all the engine speculation, I’m not waiting for later 550’s…I need a car now. The alternatives out there are not any more reliable…. My chevy engine just failed, and GM has continued lifter engine issues, so tahoes/yukons would be no different with their AFM cylinder shutoff issues on...
Tire pressure changes depending on temperature and how long its been sitting. After a long night before sun is all the way up, get in your car and check. After driving and tires heat up from use and hot sun, the pressure may raise 4-5 PSI.
You want the PSI to be at recommended after tires are...
I don’t think its a coincidence that they began holding all GX’s and LC’s around the same time they issued recall for tundra’s and LX’s.
I also don’t think its a coincidence that the initial 30 day holds turned into 56 day holds. 56 days holds from 5/17 just happens to also coincide with the...
Would be very inefficient to wait to do them all at one time, because if that’s the case, techs are just wasting time doing nothing right now. Additionally, the manufacturing in Japan isn’t going to stop churning, why allow for a backlog. QC burning em out while the plant is churning em out...
If they’re putting all incoming GX’s on a QC hold for sunroof drainage issues, it begs the question, why have the ones that slipped through on the first allocation not had any leaking sunroofs (based on comments from GX owners that have them on this forum)
If it is the paint issue from the...
if your salesman is not an ass, he will let you delete/add port installed options before it gets there….
I had the rock rails deleted on mine before it got to port, and he asked if I wanted to add anything…
With all due respect bandit67, My 2014 engine failing unexpectedly is me putting myself in a position where I am screwed and not taking responsibility for myself?
it is now the back half of 2024 with holds looking to push into late July/August, on a vehicle that has already had a 2-3 month...
