denslexusgx470 Posted December 5, 2016 Share Posted December 5, 2016 Currently my 03 has 79,000 miles. Running like a champ. Just acquired a 2007 GX470 with only 12,000 miles on the ODO. It's my vacation car in the Philippines so this is a new experience for me as I will see how this vehicle can handle the tropical weather of my country.

Tony DeRose Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 I just bought my 2007 GZx470 with 274000 miles on it looks good. A couple days later, this shows up on dash; VSC TRAC OFF, with check engine light on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harley Rider Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 135,100 on our 2005 GX. It gas been a great vehicle, but not bullet-proof. The usual driveline clunk - warranty Failed ride height sensor (fully inflated the rear air bags) - warranty Failed coating on all 4 wheels - warranty (coming back on 1 wheel, and the spare was never replaced) Rear A/C line failed - out of warranty, but covered anyway Sunroof mechanism sticking and frame corrosion - out of warranty, but covered anyway Stuck front caliper Leak at top of radiator Corrosion around several mounting bolts under the hood And now the steering column is starting to squeak when it powers into position and yesterday the GX started showing signs of a failing steering rack. Despite the issues, this is my all-time favorite vehicle. I prefer my GX over my wife's GS, hands down. Now, if I could just get my local Lexus shop to actually perform all the inspections I pay for with every 5,000 mile service, and get them to stop running the lug nuts down with an impact wrench (they don't even use torque sticks), I'd be a happy camper.

denslexusgx470 Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 As of 8/17 80k miles on the clock for my Cali GX. 13k miles on my 2007 in Manila Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dchan865 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Can't believe 7+ years have gone by since I commented on this topic. Mine now has about 233K miles on. After the last major maintenance(belt, h20 pump, alternator, radiator, spark plugs, tensioner, idler, seals, tires, brakes), she is still running like new. Great to drive! On the negative side, dashboard shows sign of minor hairline cracks in couple locations(known issue) and rear fender paint is fading a bit, but overall body paint is still shiny(wash and was regularly and park in garage). Hoping for it to run another 7+ years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harley Rider Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) Update since my post back in April, 2017: 155,000 miles. It’s still my favorite vehicle, but it’s had more than it’s share of problems. Replaced the steering rack and steering shaft. (Very expensive.) When I picked it up from that repair there were hairline cracks on the dash, close to greasy fingerprints. Dealer denies any responsibility. Corrosion on wheels - again. Replaced AGAIN, this time at my expense with after-market wheels. Rusty sunroof frame - again. Soon I’ll have to pay to replace it AGAIN. (It seems that Lexus replaced defective parts with equally defective parts.) (Yes, I live in Michigan, but my vehicles are kept in a garage and washed regularly. My 2000 GS with 190,000 miles hasn’t shown any signs of corrosion on the wheels or on the sunroof - or anywhere else.) This past Saturday night the charging system failed WITHOUT ANY WARNING LIGHTS. (All warning lights show up properly before engine start.) This is the first time in 46 years that a car has stranded us away from home. As much as I love my GX, I’m now considering other options. And considering the repeated terrible service at my local Lexus store, my next vehicle isn’t likely to be a Lexus. 😞 Edited October 3, 2018 by Harley Rider Spelling and omission.

Superglidesport Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 2008 GX470 with 135,000 miles on it here. One "family" ownership. Always garaged and dealer maintained when purchased from my uncle in New Mexico. No rust anywhere at all. Runs like new. No accidents. That being said I have replaced the original windshield, headlight assemblies, front and rear struts / shocks, rear air bags, rotors and brake calipers. I've replaced all of the fluids including transfer case, front & rear differential and transmission. Also had the car rust proofed now that it's living in the Northeast. The battery, timing belt, water pump and radiator were all replaced by the dealership at 90,000 miles. Prior to me the vehicle was dealer serviced at 5,000 mile intervals.

No rust or corrosion anywhere due to spending it's entire life up to this point in New Mexico. My uncle is a retired airline pilot who also has his own plane. Very fussy and all about maintenance "by the book." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
