  1. My 05 lx470 has 45k on it. I notice when it attempts to level itself on startup or with weight in the back, it now has a discernable thumping sound and feel while it is pumping. This is no longer smooth. The height leveling seems to be working otherwise. Any thoughts? Thanks all.
  2. Skip, Ihave a 2001 LX470 and have found water under the rear storage area rug. It is causing the screws to rust that hold the trim on where the rear tail gate fold down. I thought Lexus had a lifetime rust or perforation warrantee???I see you didnt get any replies to your post? Some how water is getting under the rug where the third row of seats would be -Iam not sure how .I may need to pull the carpeting up to see what is going on under there...Any advice? Thanks, Chris Skip, Chris: I too have noticed rust bubbles on the inside bottom of the liftgate, in the middle behind the chrome strip but on the inside. This on a 2005 470 with only 32k miles. What gives? Gary

    Thump

    Hi Guys, Just returned from Lexus dealer with this problem. They acknowledged that the problem exists with all LX's. Even took a ride in another LX and it had the same problem. They stated that there was nothing that they could do because Lexus has not manufactured a kit to deal with the problem (as they have with the GX). They need to get calls at the national Lexus number to validate that Lexus LX owners indeed have this problem. Then perhaps a factory fix/service bulletin might follow. I will tell you this, this problem is certainly not in keeping with the engineering of the Lexus line (#1 in quality?) and is an embarassment in a truck/car of this stature. If you have this problem, let Lexus know.

    Thump

    I have a 2005 lx470, (31,000 miles) which I just purchased from a dealer. Had it certified. The vehicle "thumps" just after releasing the brakes from a stop. Does not do it every time, but often. Very annoying. Sometimes it will thump when pulling away from a stop. I do not see much on the LX message board, but it is all over the GX 470 message board (17 pages!! :o ). What they write on that board describes this problem exactly!! Lexus has a service bulletin on this for the GX, and has been replacing the driveshaft and rear control arms. Has anyone with an LX470 had a similar problem?
