gusar

2005 RX 330 Bought in September 2009 with about 107,000 kilometers from a small dealership. I am the 2nd owner (supposedly :). I payed $25,000CA for the car. No extended warranty (when I read conditions, I decided I'm not an idiot). I use an independent repair shop. My insurance is - wouldn't say - you will laugh there in States. I love the car and enjoy it. Checked error codes - none. One problem happened after 6 months passed - left rear wheel bearing started to hum. At Lexus I was told that part itself (it's a hub, no bearing separate is sold) is about $1000 (!) including tax. At a friendly repair shop I paid $350 for the hub installed (!). Made by Koyo (Japan). Forget about Lexus dealership - scammers. Also re-surfaced front rotors - to be expected for 117,000 km and many complaints at forums (it was the second time re-surfacing as per mechanic). Dashboard squeaked - inserted a small piece of plastic at the very right side - became much better. So far so good. What I don't like is the how climate control works. No error codes either, but A/C is always "ON" (could be easily turned "OFF" manually, but annoying), even if outside is cold; temperature goes up and than slowly goes down too much (much below desired temperature - in winter). I read forums and it looks like it's a design defect.
