The G Man

Then your problem is not the door switch, you may have to wait til it fails more often b 4 u take it back to the dealer.

I would say rattles in the dash is the number one problem the GS has.

No problem, like I said just do the absolute necessary stuff and the dealer usually check all those other thing anyways because they want to find something broken and make more money :)

Thg gas cap usually affects the check engine light, I guess you learn something new everyday.

You can do the maintenance at a Toyota dealer, since the 4runner is the same as the GX. Just go thru the list and do all the fluid, belts and filter changes and you will be fine.

The reason why there are TSBs out there is to have the solutions on hand to the known problem. Your dealer should have fix it the 1st time, this is a very common problem among GS. BTW the high friction pads are actually softer than the low dust pads.

The 09 should be out anyday now. When you say loaded, you mean ML, Nav, wood steering wheel, vented seat and rain sensing wiper? Then the answer is no, that car in AWD form is invoice at $46500. I would guess hundreds under invoice is a possbility at this time for a 08.

You may need a after market radio.

It could be the door switch itself, relays or a wiring problem. Do you ever get the door ajar display on your dash when you close the door?

1st of all, ML and Nav are 2 seperate option, you can buy one without the other. If you are from Fall River MA, than most of the GS will have the Nav but not the ML system. My best advice is to go listen to them both back to back. You cant compare it to the Bose system, because the Bose system, much like ML system are very different in different cars. I listen to the ML system and the Lexus system in the GS back to back at the dealer for 30 minutes. The ML was a tad better, but I could not justify the extra $2000. To me, the OEM system is pretty good for a standard radio. Again go test drive and test listen and then decide :) Make sure you bring a good CD or DVD music if you have it.

The VSC light could be cause by tires with different diameter, nut its more like a fail sensor or CPU. The low dust brake pad TSB does not cover the 06 GS.

The US TSB doesnt apply to Canadian models.

Maybe a 1/2 job if you know what u are doing, but you need to change ballast too. If Lexus is willing to pay half, let them do it.

You can buy the lockpick nav bypass module.

Shouldnt the GX's rim be designed for snow use :) :)

There have been maybe questions about rather the TSB is cover under the bumper to bumper warranty or the power train warranty. My dealer said the drive shalf is cover under the powertrain warranty but the control is cover under the bumper to bumper warranty.

Your ballast is shutting down because of its protection circuits, either the ballast or the bulb is bad. I would replace the bad ballast and both bulbs. You can get them for much cheaper than $1600 on ebay.

If the passenger door is not fully close, the system will not arm. The passenger side seat belt chime can be shut off, the procedure is in here somewhere, try to do a search.

Dont read max pressure on the tires itself, look at the manufacturer's recommanded tire pressure which is on your door dam. It recommands 32 PSI for the Dunlop run-flats.

No vibrations here. If the noise you hear is a ticking noise, then thats normal.

The RX's headlight sits much lower than the GX.

Why not have the dealer fix it, its under warranty.

I saw that at i-tuned too, but $200 for a bin is highway robbery to me.

Safer for you but not for the on coming drivers that you blind.

Do you just have the internal circulation light on or do you have the internal circulation and auto light next to it on too.
