Lexus Is 250 2011 Reviews
windshield casing on drivers side has pulled away from frame causing air noises. Do alot of 2010's have this issue? I have a steering column that squeaks when I turn my '01 Lexus RX-300. All of this stuff is starting to make. My husband was driving a 2001 lexus gs 1999 Lexus RX300.....Passenger seat belt light keep blinking when somebody seat on the front.Thank you for your help. 93 gs300, out of the blue,, car died, towed home, started ran fine, 5 min. later dies. got to run again, 7 min dies. noticed with key on all the injectors are clicking irratically, then while trouble shooting,, everything, comes to a stop, when recently, on my 1992 SC400, a loud beep apparantly coming from the right door speaker comes immediately after starting the car. I've turned off the radio and it still beeps. i have a problem with my lexus sc430 cabriolet. i cant open luggage and i cant be it cabrio. plz help me. I own an lexus 2000 rx300, since the past 6 months the temperature gauge has stopped working and the electricians can't find what is wrong airbags did not deploy upon impact to a tree and rock at 50 mph Hello Yvonne, I had the same problem with my 2004 LS430, I took the steering wheel cowl off and watched the motor I could see (up down) motor. I found that the motor turned a little and was obviously still working (sort of) my thoughts on this pro Noticed a thumping noise with my 2010 RX 350 when braking going forward and backwards. Dealership said not to worry, many owner are complaining about the same thing. When there are enough complaints Lexus will do more research to resolve the pro I have a 2009 Lexus es350 and when i break at 60 mph it has a shimming upon breaking on the driver side. What can be the problem? I have rotated the tires and check the break pads and examine the rotor and with the cannot see any visual issuse.
430 and lost control somehow there still not sure how crashed into a tree and the car exploded a couple times i was just wondering if anyone has had any trouble with
