Can anyone help me with this problem. It was a Sprite actually that exploded in my car, i got everything cleaned out but the buttons of course are sticky. What is the best way to unstick the buttons as much as possible. I am willing to pay for someone to unstick the buttons. Are there any place i can take my car where they can help me with this problem? Please help. Thanks

which buttons exactly?

the buttons to open and close the moonroof. it is accessible in the day time but when the car cools off in the evening the buttons sticks real hard. hope you can help.

Take it to the dealer and let them remove the plate around it so the buttons can be cleaned. Also a good reputable detail shop could probably do the same work. I would just go to the dealer.

That my friend will cost you. The dealer will NOT do it under warranty. They WILL charge you.
There is NO manufacturer failure of a part. it is outside influence that has caused the part to fail or stick (in this case dried syrupy soda)
Not trying to be negative or spray on your parade but these are the facts.
That is why I DO NOT allow any drinking or eating in my car - strictly water and it needs to be in a water bottle or a cap/lid that can be sipped from!

I just ordered a new IS 250 C and should have it late next week.  The salesman sold me the Lexus Extra Care Gold warranty which warrants the car for 7 years/75,000 miles.  After reading about the regular Lexus warranty, the powertrain is warranted for 70,000 miles over 4 years.  

Do you think it's worth the extra money ($1650) for the bumper to bumper warranty for another 3 years?

Thanks.

It's NOT bumper to bumper

THERE WILL BE EXCLUSIONS!!

Check with the service advisor to find out what is & what is NOT covered!

We had the recall performed and YES, the dealer did fill our tank FULL!!
as my wife said: "Thank you LEXUS"

Now, if only they can fix the MT judder issue we will be fine!!

my 06 IS250 with manual trans. only have 24000 miles and my clutch is completely done.
dealer tech said need clutch and fly wheel replace. and quoted me $3800.
after that i searched and searched and found this car has pretty bad trans. to start off with.
so i called lexus customer service and this situation was going nowhere.
so then i contacted NCDS.
now i have hearing date with 3 arbitrators on wednesday.
i have no clue wat i should say or do.
wat should i expect?? does anybody have opinion what should i do??

My wife & I own an 06 IS 250 MT. We special ordered this car to get the MT with the sports suspension AND the heated/vented seat & the power "goodies".
We currently have 41K on the clock. At about 30K we brought the car into the dealer and complained about a shudder/judder in 1st when releasing the clutch. It felt as if the car was studdering.

Now, both my wife & I have been driving MT since we first got our license(s) which is bout 20+ yrs ago.
My wife's 98 SATURN lasted over 80K before the clutch needed to be repalced (we can thank our now 21YO daughter for prematurely wearing it out) and my 99 E36 Bimmer lasted to 116K before I traded it in (BTW clutch was on it's way out)

I got the call from Lexus service - the clutch has "hot spots" or blue marks on it. The explanation was due " to the manner in which the car is driven" Unfortunately, since the clutch is a wear & tear item (think brakes & tires) there is/was NO warranty on a wear & tear item.
We had 2 options:
1) Deal with it
2) LEXUS will offer a one time goodwill gesture and pay for the parts and the client (US) needs to pay for the labor. The cost of the parts was approx $2,500+ (Flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, rear main seal) and the labor would be about $1K +/-

We chose option #2.

HOWEVER, now at 41K intermitentantly, we get the "judder". And both my wife & I are thinking NO F*ing way!! You MUST be kidding.
Well, only time will tell. If it gives out at another 30K +/- We will probably sell it, trade it and get a Benz, Bimmer or any other REAL MT car.

FWIW, I personally think that Bimmer and Honda have the nicest gear boxes (just my .02)

Hope this helps!
