I bought my 07 ES350 9 months ago with 30,000 miles. It now has 39,500 miles. When having the oil changed at a Toyota dealer, I was told that my power steering unit was leaking. My Lexus dealer told me that I was 4 months over warranty and even though it had less than 50,000 miles they would not replace it under warranty. I feel that it is a defective part which did not last for the 50,000 mile portion of the warranty. Power steering units do not start leaking at less than 40,000 miles. I have owned 4 Lexus cars and have always been happy with their reliability. I am posting this to get some input from you folks. Do you think I'm wrong to pursue this because I am 4 months past warranty?

I purchased this car from a private party and had a dealer do an inspection. It had 30,950 miles. The report showed a timing cover oil leak, which will be fixed under warranty tomorrow and a notation that rear brake pads should be replaced soon "due to 3mm inside pad". I notice a slight pulsating when the brakes are applied and suspect a warped rotor. I will have this inspected also tomorrow. I recall seeing a comment on this board or another one, that a warped rotor was a warranty item. Does anyone know if this is true? If it is and the uneven brake pad wear is on the same wheel, should the warranty include replacing the pads?
