  1. Hi: When I turn the car off there is a noise under the hood that sounds like a honking goose. It continues for almost 5 minutes. I know Toyota's and Honda do keep running for a minute or so after you shut them off (had a Honda) but this is different. Does anyone know what this could be? I did try looking this issue up in the search engine... Christina
  2. Hi: My check engine light just came on. How did you find that code? Mine's a 96 LS400 with 97500 miles, which happens to be one of the checkup dates in the maintenance book - I thought maybe that may have trigger the check engine light. It just came on yesterday. Thanks? Christina
  3. We just had a 2000 ES300 that had the same problem. We thought the driver damaged the engine somehow. We took it to a Lexus dealer and they rebuilt the engine under warranty as supposely it is a known problem. We were a little surprise as this vehicle had really high mileage.
  4. Hi: Years ago when I shipped this car down to FL for the owner he asked me to get cell phone service. I was not able to do this as it is an analog phone. Is there a phone available now that will work through the stereo speakers as it originally did? Also can I remove this phone or should I have it professionally removed (remember it too me 3 tries to figure out how to post a question)? Chrissy
  5. First of all I am sorry I have jumped in on other peoples subject. I am not too good at this. I believe I am now in the right spot. Hi: I now am the owner of a 96 Lexus LS400 with 94K miles on it. I know the original owner and I have just checked with the Lexus dealer. He sent me the maintenance reports and also told me that this car has been well maintained. He said the timing belt was changed at 88K. It has some little (I Think) issues and one big issue. It needs a paint job! It has been sitting by the ocean for a few years and the side facing the ocean is faded. I asked the Lexus dealer what a paint job would cost and he said 5 to 6 thousand dollars. That's out of my league. Has anyone gone to a good auto body shop and had their car painted? I really don't want to go to a Macco as I heard they don't do that good. The minor problems I have had so far is the needle on the speedometer stopped working, and then it starts working. I did renew some of your post. One said you could remove and repair it yourself. Was it hard? The other problem I think I just fixed -don't know how but it now works. We could not roll down the passenger's windows. Where it now appears to work does that sound like a lose wire? Or does this work off a fuse. Any info you can give me will be a great help. My husband drives a Cadillac and he has been driving the Lexus and says it is a really nice riding car. Chris
