GX550 30 Day Stop Sale?

[Let’s Gooo!]

What does FI stand for

Final Inspection

 

[1 due]

No clue. Was told it was in “F” then it switched to “FI”.

Considering it was in “F” on the boat and when it first got to port maybe “F” is for freight? And then only me guessing here but “I” could be “inspection” or as far I’m concerned “interrupted”.

Hey thanks a lot for getting back I appreciate it

Ok I’ll buy that ty

it’s difficult to understand how Lexus won’t share an official word on problem and what measures are being taken to remedy

Just got this from my sales rep.

Good Morning! I hate sending this so much!!
We just got some bad news that all GX’s are going to be delayed for up to 30 days for quality control. I’m so sorry and I will keep you updated on everything I hear

Anyone else receiving this notification?

We were just notified also… hopefully not related to the V-6 main engine bearing issue that is affecting the Tundra / LX600 engines.

 

[Let’s Gooo!]

Anybody receive an update on the hold? Last I heard from my rep early last week was that they were not expecting them until June.

Well that’s not too far off impatiently waiting

If it is related to the engine bearing - it's actually positive they are getting in front of it early. I had ordered a Grenadier that arrived in December '23 - they sadly never were able to get in front of any of their defects or issues (corporate just does not seem to care) which lead me to walking from that and waiting now for a GX OT+

Is there any indication whatsoever that it's related to a bearing problem?

Not at all, but when no reason is given, one’s mind does wander. It would be great if Lexus was up front about all of these GX production delays.

My OT+ is still on the ship to east coast. First week of shipping it had no hold. As of Friday 5/24 it has a hold with “No, ETA” per dealer. I sat with my dealer Saturday morning and they are insistent they have “Zero” information on why the hold and almost all units are being held. I asked directly about the sunroof, paint issues, etc. They stated over and over they have no information from Lexus and the only thing they are hearing are the same rumors we are hearing. This is our 4th Lexus from this dealer and I do believe them. They have no reason to not disclose the issue and hold. No word and speculation is far worse than Lexus/Toyota being upfront. This is a very bad business decision by Toyota/Lexus.

This is from my dealer. They fixed the clearcoat on the hood themselves bc it was caught before the hold.

Mine is still held in Florida. My sales guy still doesn't have any info.

Do we know if any vehicle that was part of the hold has been released yet? I'm wondering if they are releasing in waves or paused to fix all until they release any of them.

It will be interesting to see how it all pans out. It seems for every one person that says paint there are 10 that say sunroof. Then sitting with dealership they show me their internal emails discussing it and they have no info from Lexus, etc and they have meetings every morning and it’s discussed. Lexus needs to be transparent and clear up all the speculation which will take care of the “he said she said.”

I hope it's the paint protection issue or sunroof bc those seem to be easier less concerning fixes. Lexus's silence though makes me worry it is something else.

I can tell you since the hold started my dealership has had zero deliveries unless it was already on the truck to store and also no new allocations dropping in system from Japan.

I agree.

Test drove a premium yesterday and my dealer showed my on his computer that my OT+ is in Japan either on the boat or at the port and they don't know exactly if this is QC or just have not been updated. Hope to know more in 2 / 3 weeks.

I vote that any deliveries past 6/1 be called 2025 models!
