Has anyone else had this fix done? Can you tell me if it fixed the problem?
Thanks,
Jim
Well, I just bought a GX 470 with 8,000 miles and found that it has the drive train vibration. The previous owner traded it in for another mfg. SUV due to this vibration after repeated attempts by Lexus to fix it and then he finally just gave up. One customer lost. So now I have this thing and I have had it in twice. They installed the patch kit, new tires, and everyting else they could think of. Its just as bad as its ever been. So this latest patch with the multiple parts does not work on all the vehicles with this problem. Headed back to the dealer tomorrow to find out what Lexus proposes to do now. Will have to probably have the dealer rep back down - he has already dealt with this before with the previous owner. This is completely unacceptable for a Luxury vehicle. If they can't fix it this time, that will be customer #2 lost forever due to the same vehicle - I'll trade this quick. Then it will end up with customer #3 and back to square 1. The relentless pursuit of perfection - they should never have released this vehicle into the public domain.
If you have looking at a GX 470 be careful and drive it several times at various speed.
