The SportCross is actually very unpopular though...which is why it so quickly was discontinued...

Yeah that part of the article really hit home for me too

I agree...

Damn that poor "servis"!

Gotta get that "servis" done first. Be sure to wear some sunscreen before you try out the "tanny".

Because it makes it easier to follow the edge of a driveway or see the curb when parking on the street.

And sometimes it has to be people's own responsibilities to find out how to deal with emergency situations for themselves. The information is out there, Toyota has mailed it to its customers and put it on its website, the media is reporting it. Some common sense and personal responsibility needs to come into play here.

I had a feeling ;)

Absolutely...

The driver didnt call 911...the passenger in the back did...

That is a very well written article...

Just don't forget to be in bed by 9 LOL

I have certainly never seen anything about the rear camber on this car, nor has anyone said that to me in the many times I've had it aligned. The door sticker DEFINITELY has a numeric PSI for pressure and its 29...you're just missing it. 33 is still going to be a little hard on the ride, and since you have new tires coming why not air it to 30 or so and check out the ride?

But you also must remember that all of the scenarios involving driver error also still exist...

LOL

PLENTY of info and threads on here about this so I'm going to close this one down...even two threads down theres a thread with exactly the same title...

The max PSI is the maximum pressure the tires can safely be inflated to. Thats all it is...it should never be used as a guide to where your tires should be inflated to, nor is it designed to be.

Yeah I'm not totally bowled over by the whole "CPO" thing...glad you got your money back.

But remember...he might be 16 but he's a "computer systems engineered" and money has no value to him...

"StevenB" an admin account that is no longer used...

Riiiiiiiight LOL. We're going to have some fun with you I can tell.

No, the upgrade DVD is going to add new roads and POIs to the maps, but it won't add any additional functions to the unit. No problem ;)

First of all, 40PSI is not optimal. Thats WAY too high. Look on the door frame of your car, the optimal PSI is 29, at 40PSI any tire is going to ride like crap on the ES. I air mine to 31 and it rides great and gets great economy really. Again...read what I am saying. you are not getting more responsive feel and you cannot run lower pressures to get the same treadwear when using nitrogen vs using air Read that at least 3 times...it doesn't seem to be getting through. Your tires will wear slower at a higher PSI, but 40PSI is probably so high that you're getting uneven wear in the center of the tread. Personally I bought a Lexus for the smooth quiet ride, so if I sacrifice a little treadwear by running the tires at the pressure Lexus specifies for optimum performance its worth it to me. In terms of treadwear, I personally don't think a good smooth quiet tire is going to last 50k on this car...best I've done is 35k and thats the Michelins.

Thats not what I'm saying at all, however I would hope that I'm above people thinking I'm some kind of product schill. The whole purpose of this site is for people to be able to ask and answer questions, and without new people the site doesn't work. My issue was with your insinuation that I'm some sort of Lexus employee because I suggested a simple remedy for his problem. Thats pretty bold for someone who just joined the site... So this is respect? "I'm not calling you an idiot...but you're an idiot" Remember you're the one fueling this not me, I had not intended to post in this thread again until you decided that this was somehow your business. For your information this thread will not be closed. Nobody is being insulting but you. Then why didn't you say you had tried it and it didn't work? And again, if you can figure this stuff out on your own and our advice is beneath you as you imply...why post and ask? My advice would be just to drop this. Hint hint.

And was the dealer supposed to send someone to him to bring a replacement key? My key broke...I taped it together until I could buy another one.
