I have a 2012 RX350 which does not have navigation. I use my Iphone 4S while driving using the bluetooth functionality to connect to the radio. Periodically, while on a call, the word "talking" goes off the display, the stereo come back on, plays for about 5 seconds, then "talking:" reappears on the display and 2-3 seconds later (if the person hasn't hung up) you can resume your call.
I took the car in 3 1/2 months ago and Lujack Lexus replaced a wire reel in the steering column at Lexus's direction (oh, by the way, the radio,cd,satellite, etc, changes channels when you are turning corners maybe once every 3 weeks- I have made sure I'm not touching the controls on the wheel when I'm turning). No improvement.
Since then, I have called the 1-800-25Lexus line at least 2-3 times to ask what can be done. The last time was 3 weeks ago. As usual, they promise a phone reply within 2 days which they always do. So, I get my call back in 2 days and they tell me that they are trying to determine when the technical person in my region will be at my dealership and they will call me back in a day or possibly 2. That was 2 1/2 weeks ago.............no call. I've called my dealer several times who says they're waiting on Lexus.
Has anyone else experienced this type of problem? Has anyone else experienced this type of response from Lexus? I think I understand why they removed the word "passionate" from their past slogan of "The passionate pursuit of perfection".
Any help would be appreciated
Update:
I received a call from Lexus corporate and my dealer committing to resolve the problem, whatever it is. Hopefully, we're heading to a solution.
