Miop4000

Just had full OEM brakes and rotors front and back replaced at 40000 kms. $5500.

Since new, the car occasionally will start to crank but then immediately switch off. I mean completely off with the steering wheel returning to off position. This may occur 2-3 times in a row for several days then back to normal. Over past 6 years it has had new battery, alternator and injectors checked and new fuel pump. It has spent many weeks at Lexus being investigated but none of the repairs (all under warranty) have made a difference. I’m starting to think it is an issue with the immobiliser? Any thoughts?

Sold? or still in market

Not happy. Car 4500 kms, fsport turbo. Developed a clunking sound when travelling at low speed over rough grounds. Or, accelerating over uneven ground. Clunk is loud enough to hear over radio. On drivers side of car but difficult to pinpoint as to whether it's coming from front or back. Suspect it is a vibration travelling along the vehicles chassis rails, hence difficult to pinpoint. Believe source maybe a suspension component. Would expect this from a bimmer or Merc, not a Lexus. Clublexus US has a number of members reporting the same problem. Fixes have included replacement of dampers but does not seem to get rid of problem. May wait for a TSB to be issued.

And by the way. We don't get individual tyre TPMS readings. The system just tells us there's a flat tyre and you have to carry your own pressure gauge. Lame Lexus lame.

Is that the f-sport variant. Mine delivered Decemer 2015. Had updated centre mirror and seal on back door.

No. Speed limits not shown in Australia as they are in the US. Also, Australian TPMS system only indicates a flat tyre not individual tyre pressures. No ACS In the F-sport either.

My dealer is pretty sensible. They half heartedly mentioned it was available. Everyone knows it's just expensive polish etc. Dealers can really put the hard sell on because it's a high margin product. You negotiate hard on the car's price then when they have you tired try to sell you this rubbish. Once in my younger days went for the rust proofing with lifetime warranty. However, to maintain the warranty the car had to have a high water pressure clean by the installers of the gunk every 2 years or warranty void. Didn't follow thru when I found out the exorbitant price of the wash. If you want to seal the car for added protection, lots on the market that you can apply yourself and only have to apply once a year. Can help protect the self healing coat particularly from bird poop.

Car has a self healing top coat. It is a soft clear coat that is supposed to flow over minor scratches. Top coat treatments are not recommended.

Car finally got here. Delivery a bit disorganised. No 'gift' like when I bought the previous one. Realised wheel locks on the contract not installed. Anyway, car is gorgeous and very happy. Have had additional accessories installed by Lexus service dept. Save on LCT with post delivery installs. Service dept excellent as always and have done a great job. Car great to drive. Only issue is fuel consumption. Suspect roof racks contributing.

Can Lexus please update the operating system so the Siri Eyes Free works on Australia. Works fine on US models but not active on Aus models. I'm sure an update will fix this quick smart. Why does Lexus think all Australian buyers are over the age of 50. No disrespect to the over 50 category.

Siri eyes free not working on Australian spec models.??Why. Also TPMS does not provide individual tyre pressures like US. Only tells you there's a flat tyre so you have to carry a tyre gauge! Cost cutting.

Ordered mine late August. Initially told October delivery, then November. Now December. Waiting, waiting. Waiting........

Good luck with a 2 month wait. I ordered mine end of August and was recently contacted that it may not be delivered until December or January.

Does anyone have any advice experience as to the best or better Lexus dealer in terms of quality of maintenance and cost in Sydney? Help greatly appreciated.
