Hey everybody, I just bought me a '93 SC400 with 150K miles and had a few questions....
Whenever I step on my brakes with a little pressure, the steering wheel shakes. Is this normal?
How much am I looking at to replace the Climate Control cluster and the Speedometer Gauge needle light?
When I step on the gas lightly around 20 MPH I hear this "clunk" sound coming from the back, then as I lightly remove my foot off the gas I hear that sound again. What could this be?
My leather near the driver's window is peeling and can't fold back in. Where is recommended to go to get this fix? Does Lexus offer this sill replacement or can a normal shop fix this? How much should I expect to pay for this?
Is there any way I can find out the Service Maintenece History? I want to see when this vehicle has been serviced. It has 150,000 miles on it and I want to know if the 140,000 mile service has been done, if not, I would need to get it serviced immediately.
The middle console is very flimsy, I'm guessing the springs are shot. Has anybody replaced this before? It's hard to explain, but everytime my elbow rests on it, it makes a noise that it's loose.
I've stalled on 3 numerous occasions. First time it happened I made a right turn and when I applied on the brake I noticed the battery light on the dash was on so I had to turn the key off and re-start the car. Second time it happened I made a fast left turn and I noticed the steering wheel was very hard to turn (no power steering) because I stalled. Then the third time, I had it in reverse and I stepped on the brake because I had to talk to someone and as I started to reverse I stalled! Had to put it in park, re-start the car. What causes this?? I noticed when I'm at a stop, my idle is like 200 RPM?? Is this normal?
After driving for a few miles and I turn my car off, as I'm exiting I hear this very loud rattling noise coming from underneath. It goes away after a minute or two, but what is this noise and is this normal??
Thanks for any help in advance! I love this car and I guess I'm just being anal with some stuff but I'd like to fix these problems and the car would be perfect.
