I have bad news for you. My recently bought GS 430 seems to have the same problem. Seems like the dealer left that out in our coversations. Anyways, is seems that this is a common problem with the GS's from 06-08 possibly even 09! What's worse is that my door seems to have fallen a bit or slightly tilted? It now gets rubbed against the fender making a clicking noise everytime you open the door, where as to now, it has bugun to chip the paint. My car has 80k miles, depending on how many yours has, it could get worse if you don't get it checked, I think the door needs to be rethightend, but i'll wait and see what the dealer tell me.
I'll repost later.
I went to the dealer were I bought the car (Park Place Lexus) to get it checked, the service manager asked me what the problem was, I told him, he said he could check on it, but he would suggest I talk to the sales rep to see if they would cover the cost being that it was just bought ( I did not suggest the dealer do this, this was the asst. service managers idea). I went to my sales rep, he gave me the dear in head lights look and he told me I needed to go backto the service and tell them that they should fix it, I did, the servic`e guy then tells me I needed to go tell the sales rep he needs authorization.... AT THIS POINT IM GETTING FRUSTRATED! I go back to the sales rep I inform him that I just drove 40min. I was not satisfied with the service I was getting. He then said, I was trying to get the job done free and I should have warranty and warranty should fix it. At this point I am insulted and appauld, because I did not want anything done free nor was it my idea. I just wanted my car fixed, that is all, and if they could throw some good service to go along with it, more power to them. I got neither.
After all of that, I think I was there 1hr 30min and nothing had gotten done. After I was leaving, the servive guy notices the door stop was broken, he said it should fix the problema little, though, he could do nothing about the air noice, I didnt care, just wanted it fix. After I asked for the part prce, it seemed to much, 175..00 for door stop + 200 for install, I called SewellLexus and theyhad it cheaper, 125.00 for door stop + 100 for install.... I AM NEVER GOING TO Park Place Lexus AGAIN!!!!!
I had the work done at Sewell, the put me in a loaner and I was off. The most AWESOME thing was when I got my car back, the service guy at Sewell told me that the repair guy said that he noticed the door rubbing against the fender and he fixed it. All at no extra charge, they were just happy to service me!..... I heald back tears. I now have no problems with my car, I am soooo happy!!!!!!
Park Place Lexus, I hope your business goes broke
