Apparently today lexus issued another repair notice regarding brake squeak.. Oct 22 2024
Waiting for a copy.. The one from October 8th is straight forward..
Anyone know what the new one says
Everyone who has surging at idle.
Just got call from dealer.. The tech confirms..
Lol rest comfortabley.. Quote. "they all do it".. "an emissions related feature"
I suggested that lx owners not bringing this forward re their vehicles.. Asked them to notify lexus that they confirmed they...
Got the key.. The removed nuts not left in vehicle.. They did put the key and the hitch pin in the vehicle
Sorry if not clear
How do you use a wheel lock key in middle of winter ice and snow packed in the nut. Have to heat to melt or have something to dig out ice.. I mud you best have water...
Mine does it more after startup. While in park
It's a surge in rpm
Relatively minor. But....
Bringing in for break bulletin which two dealers also called "normal"
Hood flutter... "normal*
Missing lug nuts taken presumably at the port when forced to buy locking nuts to purchase vehicle...
I use very little brake pressure.
I do use the paddle shifters approaching all red lights and only brake from 1st or second gear. Have used this method for more than 25-30 years.
Never had to replaced any brake components or had transmission problems.
Hold most vehicles ten years.
HMMM.. i would not accept that answer without documentation.. A COPY OF THE SPEC. THink about it for a few minutes.. the engineers and designers come up with a new model or a model update and present it to the group approving for production. WOULD ANYONE accept a vehicle of this type.. and...
Appointment lc available at a number of dealers
. 70 - 80 thousand for a Toyota is a huge stretch.. 4 cyl turbo engine on 5500 pound vehicle.. Time will tell. But some dealers are now below msrp. And lots of highly optioned machines are accumulating in the distribution system.. 4cy turbo 5500...
Or parts supplier spec is not being confirmed before factory use of parts.. Every 6 cylinder twin turbo not being recalled by Toyota.. Only 120,000.. So some specific parts VS all. .. Doesn't mean it's not potentially a lemon
Or not..
Just because they all do it does not mean it's not a lemon.. BTW who comes up with the specs..
Let's remember pintos met spec.. And I would argue all are lemons
Corvair perhaps the same
So just because it "meets spec" or they all do it does not mean it's not a lemon or defective..
.
In Florida windshield replacement free. Not a claims issue
Today windshield hit by 2 inch rock from dump truck.. On highway at 70 mph.. Flew Over front of hood
No damage to hood and not even a divot in windshield.. Real lucky.. Huge impact noise
dealer is not being honest.. it can be removed from the invoice before it is processed thru the port. My first dealer said NO could not be done. the dealer I eventually purchased from removed the roof rack before port installed it.
FIND A NEW DEALER> work with them on vehicle status...
Interesting that as of 5 pm est lexus did not put out notice to the dealer service network. My dealer asked if it was clear what lexus says the problem is and what corporate is telling specific dealers what to do.... He said this is typical before they send out service notices or recalls...
Did wet/rain cause it? I have 900 miles. And all fine until heavy rains and big puddles on road. Temp has been between 79 and 95 f
