    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    I posted on one of the Land Cruiser forums on FB a few days ago and none of them have experienced any vibration issues at all. I just wonder what kind of trade in value I could get with 6K miles on mine. I really don't want to take a bath on this thing.

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    My guess is, it is the brakes, and they are all faulty. I have said this before and I will say it again, if Lexus is actually planning to replace all of the brakes on these GX's, they would not do that just because of squeaking. This makes me think it's a bigger problem and they aren't...

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    My GX is back at the dealership now for the regional manager to drive and test it tomorrow. They are going to use some sort of device that measures the vibration in the vehicle. I told the tech to keep it for as long as they need to, but that I don't want it back until it's fixed. We shall...

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    Anything after they started the QC holds at the port which I think started back in early July if I remember correctly.

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    Could be. But we all know they have caller ID. The fact that he was supposed to call me back Wednesday afternoon and didn’t, tells me all I need to know. Not his problem, he will act likes concerned about the customer but in reality, being a sales manager, if it doesn’t involve a new vehicle...

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    Well I guess it's time to call Lexus NA. Called the dealer Wednesday morning and spoke with sales manager, as I have not spoken to one person in management about my issues (aside from copying the service manager on my most recent emails and received zero response). Sales manager apologized for...

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    I believe any of the new Overtrails being sold will have the brakes fixed prior to them being delivered to the customer. I feel like this is happening at the ports or possibly during assembly now as it's been known for a while. COngrats on your new ride. I do not like green cars at all. Yet...

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    I think this is why they are being so weird about this. They told me the place that makes the brakes can only produce 10 sets per day. They have thousands to replace. They don't want to put it out there and have 5,000 angry GX owners wanting their brakes done now.

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    Yes I did and I thank you for sharing that. The weird thing is, my dealer WILL NOT admit to me that this is happening. ONe guy did say it was happening, but he said it in a way you would think we were doing a drug deal. He spoke low about it and when I ask when to expect the brakes coming in...

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    I checked in with SRoberts over the weekend and said their GX OT is still driving great following the brakes replacement. My dealer refuses to tell me if Lexus is actually planning a recall / brake replacement. Have spoken with a few different people. This morning I called again and spoke...

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    That’s a good description - washboard road feeling. I’m going to email the dealer and see if I can get an actual timeframe for the brake parts. A month or less I’m fine, but more than that I’m going to plan B.

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    Update on mine. But first: To the people saying “you just don’t know what an off road vehicle rides like” you don’t understand what this vehicle is doing. I’ve owned 35+ vehicles. Sedans, jeeps, broncos, trucks, etc. I’ve been working on cars since I could talk. Something is wrong with...

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    Yes I did but the tech didn’t take it too seriously. I even spoke with S Roberts and they gave me the vin from their car and I supplied it to the tech along with the parts order, etc. He didn’t take it too seriously and I fear that’s because the parts simply aren’t available.

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    My patience is growing really thin, I have decided to give it until the end of this month. October will be 5 months of ownership for me and if not resolved by 10/01 I will begin "next steps" but hopefully it does not come to that!

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    Update on my vibration issues. I went to the dealer yesterday for the 5th time. Technician rode with me, with my brand new michelins that they provided, the ride is still vibrating like hell at 75 MPH+. We swapped out the wheels and tires and put on the wheels and tires from the Demo GX which...

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    I have the vibration issues. It’s not “bumpy ride like a truck.” There is a serious vibration issue, which is also causing and / or attributing to, the hood flutter. I’ve been working on cars since I could walk, have owned and driven enough different vehicles to know the difference between...

    GX550 Overtrail Vibration

    Well I just got done reading through all 16 pages of these comments. Picked up my OT in late May. Brought it back to the dealer at 1k miles for the vibration. Multiple tires out of balance and they couldn’t get within balancing spec. Went on a 2,500 mile road trip and couldn’t do more than 75...
