All Activity

I just purchased a stock 2003 RX300 and am wanting to “beef” it up for some off road fun. Nothing crazy, just out having fun. Wanting to go bigger tires, wheels, possibly suspension upgrades, and anything else that would make it fun and cool looking for my sons and I. We are going to do this together.

Took our 23 GX460 for 6 month service and headed out from MS to MT. One way is about 2,100 miles. We notice the steering wheel is slightly off center to the left. Its been somewhat of a struggle being the car seems to be pulling to the right. There are NO Lexus dealers in this area. Closest is 4 hours in Washington State. Suggestions to how best to address this?

For reference: The day I traded in my 2yr old 2020 RX 350, I registered 31 MPG on the 120 mile trip to the Lexus Dealership. Interstate all the way. Heavy constant city driving usually came out around 19 MPG. Urban traffic around 23 MPG. The ES300h is getting a steady 43 to 44 MPG in the summer city and interstate. You might like the RX350h but they are scarce in these parts. So they are loading them up to get top dollar. Called Free Enterprise!

My 2017 RX 350 just turned 80k. My gas milage sucks, last fill up, it was 14.8 Combined no better than 18mpg, highway is ok, 25-26 mpg. Dealer said nothing wrong. My last Lexus.

It's not the coils. Just replaced both with my good spare one at a time. No change. Next stop, computer, spark plugs, junk yard. It may be time.

Sorry, Don. How about these suggestions?

Well I was told there is nothing that can b done, & any fix is only temporary. Very frustrating. I drove a 1995 ls400 for 20 yrs & never a problem. It’s so frustrating listening to these brakes make that noise

If your iPhone is functioning well with the car you could do this:

Hello Members, Might anyone know a solution to stream music services (spotify/pandora) over the 2007 LS460 system? I just took possession of this car, and from I can see bluetooth just works for iPhone audio only. Is there a bluetooth adapter I can plug into the AUX port to solve my issue? Much thanks in advance, Kenneth.

Funny I should come across this post today - I pulled fuse 22 (7.5A) this afternoon to stop that annoying dashboard light. The hidden push button by the driver’s right knee didn’t do the trick. I’m very happy with stationary headlights.

Thank you, RX400h. But I was looking for info re: front seat ventilation, thus the title of the post. But it is great to see an accurate (I’m a retired AC technician) description of correct troubleshooting of an automotive AC system! With this heat wave upon us, no doubt your words of wisdom will fall on needy ears at just the right time!

Have you checked to see if any dealerships within say, a 500-mile radius has the vehicle you wish to buy? When we reserved our RX400h, we had to wait one year. Of course, it was well worth the wait.

Seems to be a very weak stream of cool air, if any. Can’t hear any fan running, like my 2024 ESh. Any direction? TIA!

Front 19x8.5 +29 <Both in 5x114.3 Rear 19x10 +34 The front right (passenger side) has minor bend but the tire bead still sealed no air leak (check out last photo) hit a pop hole driving late night hwy18 (Victorville) was bad idea Tyres are included front5/32nd & rear6/32nd. All you will need is 4 new tpms I will not provide those. I will be providing tpms adapter strap. Good deals. I bought these wheels for 6k and the tires $300. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1eCe-2kkcvM2gQftCa_pvgWtTay00a4hO

We live in SC and have been using the Lexus web site to Build a Lexus RX 350 H, which is built in Canada. Our dealers are saying it will take about 8 months for the car to be built and that we should instead buy from their inventory, except that they don’t have any RX 350 hybrids. I am willing to go to Canada to pick up the car, but does it really take 8 months?!

Malfunctioning Drivers Window Dear Fellow Lexus Owners, I have an 01 Lexus ES300. The drivers side window is malfunctioning in the automatic mode after I had the window regulator replaced. When I click the window control for automatic closing, The window automatically closes and then comes back open, about 6 inches. I have to close the window a little at a time to fully close it. Does anyone else have this problem? What is the solution?

It's a nagging problem, every time I roll up the window. JC

So I have to get your opinion on this. Took it to get gas yesterday but did not make it. would not accelerate past 25 mph with foot to the floor. turned around and took it home. Idle in neutral down to 500 rpm. Rev engine several times and it will go to 5k. Noticed smoke coming off the engine. turned off and looked under car. exhaust pipe on drivers side bright cherry red for about 2 feet starting at engine. Any thoughts? It has 2 coils, one for each side of the engine. I'm hoping it just lost a coil and unburned gas is getting in the exhaust pipes. But of course, the coil on the drivers side is nearly impossible to get to without removing the battery. I'm really getting tired of working on this car. Any thoughts? Please don't tell me plugged cat. converter, that would be the end.

Hello- I've driven an LX470 2001 for years and love it, just upgraded to same rig, just a 2002 with fewer miles. I picked car up yesterday from the transport driver and front screen says: 'NO DISC DETECTED." It doesn't allow me to hit "I Agree" and move forward to any options. Has anyone else had this issue? I'm waiting to hear back from seller who's on East coast for his experience on this. I've watched some complex YouTube video about pulling out the Nav box from under the passenger seat. Is there anyone who can give this gal advice. I live in a rural area and I'm not taking it to the local Toyota dealership if I can fix this myself. Thank you so much!
