Folks,
I was surprised to find out about this recall by reading posting from this site. I found the confirmation for that in the NHTSA database. When I went to check for the sticker, that I clearly remember visible on my driver's side window, it disappeared. All other original stickers didn't, including a temporary set of dealer tags.
When I mentioned it to my rep at Lexus, there was a long pause and no response. This is a big concern to me since I purchased the vechicle in part due to a Tax benefit. In addition to me having problems with
1. AC not cooling when hot
2. vibration during acceleration between 55 and 70
3. propeller shaft, unwinding under my seat, the famous thump in the bumper
4. various seals (door, moonroof being deformed)
5. rust covered bolts/frame under the car (it came that way) and all new GX's have that problem (sea travel is a perilous journey -- according to Lexus Tech) Check it out folks!
6. Uphill assist controll making noises just when I move from brake to gas pedal during uphill starts -- also "NORMAL" according to Lexus
Could it be possible that it was swiped on one of my frequent visits to the dealer?? Nah.. I probably took it off, I mean, it did say, must be removed by only owner, didn't it?! :(
I also wonder, how many Lexus's damage control folks are "Moderating" this board..
