which buttons exactly? :o the buttons to open and close the moonroof. it is accessible in the day time but when the car cools off in the evening the buttons sticks real hard. hope you can help. Take it to the dealer and let them remove the plate around it so the buttons can be cleaned. Also a good reputable detail shop could probably do the same work. I would just go to the dealer. That my friend will cost you. The dealer will NOT do it under warranty. They WILL charge you. There is NO manufacturer failure of a part. it is outside influence that has caused the part to fail or stick (in this case dried syrupy soda) Not trying to be negative or spray on your parade but these are the facts. That is why I DO NOT allow any drinking or eating in my car - strictly water and it needs to be in a water bottle or a cap/lid that can be sipped from!

It's NOT bumper to bumper THERE WILL BE EXCLUSIONS!! Check with the service advisor to find out what is & what is NOT covered!

We had the recall performed and YES, the dealer did fill our tank FULL!! as my wife said: "Thank you LEXUS" Now, if only they can fix the MT judder issue we will be fine!!

My wife & I own an 06 IS 250 MT. We special ordered this car to get the MT with the sports suspension AND the heated/vented seat & the power "goodies". We currently have 41K on the clock. At about 30K we brought the car into the dealer and complained about a shudder/judder in 1st when releasing the clutch. It felt as if the car was studdering. Now, both my wife & I have been driving MT since we first got our license(s) which is bout 20+ yrs ago. My wife's 98 SATURN lasted over 80K before the clutch needed to be repalced (we can thank our now 21YO daughter for prematurely wearing it out) and my 99 E36 Bimmer lasted to 116K before I traded it in (BTW clutch was on it's way out) I got the call from Lexus service - the clutch has "hot spots" or blue marks on it. The explanation was due " to the manner in which the car is driven" Unfortunately, since the clutch is a wear & tear item (think brakes & tires) there is/was NO warranty on a wear & tear item. We had 2 options: 1) Deal with it 2) LEXUS will offer a one time goodwill gesture and pay for the parts and the client (US) needs to pay for the labor. The cost of the parts was approx $2,500+ (Flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, throw out bearing, rear main seal) and the labor would be about $1K +/- We chose option #2. HOWEVER, now at 41K intermitentantly, we get the "judder". And both my wife & I are thinking NO F*ing way!! You MUST be kidding. Well, only time will tell. If it gives out at another 30K +/- We will probably sell it, trade it and get a Benz, Bimmer or any other REAL MT car. FWIW, I personally think that Bimmer and Honda have the nicest gear boxes (just my .02) Hope this helps!

If there is less than 6mm (which is approx 50%) then you have used the brakes and WORN them out. You have gotten the use out of them for which they were designed. Yes, the warranty is 4/50 but wear & tear items are NOT covered. Be thankful the STORE and not Lexus NA is picking up the tab for your FREE brakes. At Benz, there is a 12/12 warranty (12 mo or 12K) on any ADJUSTMENTS and that INCLUDES brakes. Once you pass the 12K or 12 mo, your on your own, unless of course, the STORE wants to step up and cover the cost. Score one for the client. After wearing out your brakes, you got a FREE set ... NICE!!!

Make sure the mirror adjustment switch is positioned to "adjust" the drivers or passanger's mirror - make sure the switch is NOT in the center or NEUTRAL position. This should work. Also there is no mirror fold-in option (at least on the 06)... whadda ya think it is, a Benz S class? If all elese fails ... R.Y.D.M Mine has dipping mirrors, and they also fold at the press of a button on the door panel The fold in feature must be a European (UK) specific option. Here in the States, only the dip down feature is available. The mirrors will move in toward the body if you MANUALLY push them in.

Brake dust? They'll replace your front pads with ceramics if you complain to the dealer. Is there any mileage limitations to this? I do have excessive dust in my opinion. I have ~15k on the car. It would be nice to get a "free" brakejob. Here in CALI, the dealers are no longer 'honoring' the TSB cause Toyota determined that replacing the pads did very little to cure squeaking or xcessive brake dust. The squeal/squeak came back in less than 5K and the brake dust was reduced but not SIGNIFICANTLY. Cost too much for too little. Normally. the adjustment period is only 12K or 12 months Lexus supplies everything. See the PDF attached It ONLY applies to 350's NOT 250's

TOTAL CRAP & B.S!! Once again, the moronic, dim witted sales person is selling what they see, they don't care to see what they can sell. take you biz elsewhere. Visit LEXUS and use the build your own site. It will search inventory based on your zip code. Find out a few zip codes of neighboring towns or states that are nearby and use those zip codes to conduct/widen your search. GOOD LUCK!!!!

Good Luck. Not many dealers have manual 250's let alone true "strippers" I have an 06 manual with sports pak that I was told could not be made. All it took was a salesperson who was willing to 1) look to see if they build the car & 2) to forgo the immediate gratification of a sale NOW and look to 90 -120 days into the future. WE got our car the way WE wanted it and it was worth the wait!! Try LEXUS OF VALENCIA (part of the Keyes family) and ask for the Internet manager - he's a standup guy He'll either order or find what you want.

NO manual tranz = NO interest here. I might just have to get that M3 or 'Vette Gotta have 3 pedals on da floor

lol, "stuck pig." So the squealing I'm experiencing now, with the regular Lexus brake pads, isn't normal; or is it???? It's driving me nuts! And, yes, my wheels get extremely dirty after a day or two. Squealing brakes can be any number of things but 2 things come immediately to mind: 1) you are getting close to needing a replacement set .. BTW how many miles do you have? 2) Pads and rotors have glaze or rotors have heat, hot spots (caused by riding brakes down hills) or aggressive driving (heavy on the brakes & accelerator) or just routine LA stop & go traffic! Is it a saftey hazzard? NO is it an annoyance? YES If you are LESS THAN 1 yr old & have LESS THAN 20K, Lexus MIGHT warranty it (usually the pads need to be above 50% remaining and not just worn out by/from normal wear & tear) It all depends on the relationship you have with the local dealer (At leat with us, it needs to be under 1yr AND under 12K AND no more than 50% wear otherwise, the client is buying them themselves (ie: NO warranty for you!) GOOD LUCK
