  1. Our sun roof is not working properly. the tilt toggle slide open the entire glass, and the slider, when closing, tilts the sunroof. either way, it's jacked up. i need help. i've tried to unhook the battery to maybe reset the computer but no luck.
  2. I had to jump start my RX400h this morning and called Lexus after the fact. they said that i need to replace the battery. Do i have to replace my battery with a Lexus brand batter? or can i go to autozone and purchase a regular car battery? Lexus battery is $185, not sure how much regular batts are? please help. thanks
  3. this is great. exactly what i was looking for. thank you guys!
  4. man.. i would hate to take it to autozone but i guess im going to have to just to make sure. are there any alternative besides autozone? either way, the light turned off after i unplugged the battery and plug it back in, though i still want to make sure everything is fine. thanks
  5. I had this warning light come on after I had the valve springs replaced on my IS350 with the factory recall. Engine started shutting down and running very poorly. Took it back to the dealer and I was told that a module had come loose that the mechanic had not put on correctly. It was a quick fix and no further problems. so since this happened after you recall, did you have to pay for anything for them to get rid of the light (fix it). Im on extended warranty and kinda afraid that it will cost me an arm a leg to fix it.
  6. this just happened to me earlier driving down the hwy. i have 63K miles and on the extended warranty. would Lexus cover the VSC issue if they find something wrong? or do you guys have any suggestions on what to do? also, would it be ok to take this to toyota? i live no where close to a Lexus dealership.
  7. ok team, I tried looking through the whole forum to see if anyone's talked about this but no luck. Well, I had my front brake squealing issues a couple of months ago and told Lexus about it. They asked me to have my brake pads be replaced with genuine Lexus brakes. I guess the guy before me had installed an after-market brake pads and screwed it all up. So no, I had them replace the brake pads and I just noticed lately that every time I hit the brakes going from 30mph and up, the car shakes and it just doesn’t feel quite right. What do you guys think the problem is? The squealing is gone but now the car shakes.. which is worse? Please help Thank you
  8. So, both cars we have just hit 60,000 miles (IS350/RX400H). Where do we go from here? besides changing the oil and the air filters (engine and inside glove compartment), what all else do you guys recommend doing? According to the nearby Lexus this is what 60K service looks like: "Replace engine oil and filter, Replace engine air filter, Replace engine coolant, Replace brake fluid, Rotate tires, Road test vehicle, Courtesy car wash and interior vacuum. Alignment and balance of wheels is recommended, but not included. *Synthetic oil extra. Inspect the following: Valves (audible inspection), adjust if necessary, Drive belts, Fuel lines and connections,fuel tank vapor, vent system hoses, fuel tank band, Fuel tank cap gasket, Charcoal canister, Exhaust pipes and mountings " Can I do any of these on my own? what do yall suggest? thanks

  10. wow that is pretty awesome. how much did you get that for?
  11. looks amazing. rims looked sexy! where did you get them? are they the same size front and rear? thanks
  12. FYI.. be careful, the one i got from ebay worked for a week and would turn on and off. make sure you get the right one.
  13. I was thinking of doing the same thing but never thought about putting an actual ISF intake. i was just looking into AEM or INJEN parts. Is there a huge difference between the ISF intakes and the after market ones? price? i know you can get injen or aem between 200-300 on ebay. what do yall think? thanks
  14. so i've been having the exact same problem with mine, and called the dealership to let them know. they said that they will do a diagnostic on my car and see what's going on. the guy said he has not encountered that problem at their shop. i have to pay for diagnostic and if they find something wrong with the brakes, i have to pay out of my pocket. @NicLX470 - how did you get it for free from the dealership? need some advice.
  15. get it on ebay.. much cheaper, they have OEM products. i just replaced mine this past weekend and it went pretty well. i may add that it wasn't easy and it wasn't hard.. im sure you can do it though, instead of paying $200 a piece. it saved me $400! :)
  16. In case you didn't know, Lexus has a recall out for the valve springs. You may want to take the car in and see if it's been completed or not. completed or not.. you'll be alright. you can always take it in whenever you want and they will provide you a rental lexus vehicle. check the tires as well. good luck, i have the same exact one and i love it.
  17. http://us.lexusownersclub.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=66703 yeah i know! i am experiencing the same issue (link above). i did replace the bulb and couple of days later, it was doing the exact same thing. so i really doubt that it's the bulbs.
  18. Just want to give you guys an update, so here we go. After Lexus told me that it's definitely my bulb that needs to be replaced, so i did and that what i did this past weekend. I got a brand new pair of HID Xenon bulbs and replaced both sides. Last night i drove my car for the first time at night on my way home from work and came to find out that it was doing it again. the driver's side light was out and it was the same issue, exactly the same. so seriously, any help? ideas? on whats going on with my headlights? this is pretty crazy. i hope theres a fix to this, i dont feel like getting stopped by cops for this. thanks
  19. So, I called to my warranty people and they said it's not covered if it's the bulb but if it's something else, ae. socket or electrical wiring, then it should be covered. my argument is why would the HID bulb go out so early? i thought they're suppose to last atleast up to 100K? you guys have any input on this?
