didiod Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Greetings fellow Lexus owners. I am putting out this S.O.S. in the hopes that someone out there can share some insight or experience with what has become an absolute nightmare. I own a Lexus IS250, bought new, 2008 model. A wonderful vehicle...until: I left front windows open halfway and it rained that night...seats damp, mats damp, but dried out next day, which was sunny and breezy. 4 days later, out of state on business, went to start car....many warning lights on, including "brake". Had car towed to nearest dealership. Dx: water damage, replacement of wire harnesses, took over 2 weeks to repair, to tune of $11,000!!!! Picked up car, drove 15 miles. Rained overnite (YES, all windows were closed!)and floor mats soaked. Water poured from dash are and visor when I went to drive car back to dealer. Dealer "fixed" car....said moon roof channels "clogged". Next day headed back to Phila, and car drove fine for 3 hrs, but would NOT start after 10 minute rest area visit. Towed to nearest dealer(yet another state!) Now I am told that NO ONE can figure out problem. I am extremely frustrated, to say the least. (Mechanic even suggested that I might not feel safe driving this vehicle again, even if problem is found/fixed!!) Want to contact Lexus USA...any advice out there? $11,000 spent, car no longer drivable, 2 dealerships tossing around "hot potato" situation....Help!!! Thanks, Didi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenore Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 You would probably be better off going to a specialty automotive electrical shop...Man 11k on repairs, that is brutal.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
