You are in the Lexus LX 470/GX 470 and LX 570 Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
| A drop in tempearture decreases the tire pressure. The same thing happened in my brother's Honda Pilot. | |
Of all the LX470 colors, which ones have the most appeal, popular or sells best ? I am inclined to think the rare/unique ones like Sand Dollar Pearl, or Riverrock Mica (or whatever Lexus calls it these days). I've heard that Black/tan is a more popular choice than White/tan. Is that the case ? And what about Silver, Green, or Blue ?

I thought that my 1999 LX 470 would last forever, well at least longer than my 1985 El Dorado. It has turned out to be more costly than my Cadillac in repairs. I went over the 75K mark in Sept, just under seven years and everything has fallen apart. The -u-joint clunk turned out to be the rear diff and the after market warr LEXUS sold me had fine print that put in a "used" one with 62K miles unless I opted for a new one. When I got it back after 3 weeks I still had the clunk and now it whines at 55-75, which it did not do before. Took it back in for 5 weeks and was told the noise was an irritant and not warr, either by LEXUS or the Millennium after market. They now tell me I need a new transfer case and front drive shaft! NO LEXUS goodwill. Wrote LEXUS corp and JAPAN and they told me to BUZZ off, so much for the "LEXUS COVENANT" It is no better than any American car I have owned and it cost a whole lot more. I am filling a CALIF consumer complaint to see if they will do anything. Any similar problems with the diff and transfer case or did I just get a LEMON? Jim

Replying to: jwttt (Dec 24, 2005 10:08 am) Hi Jwitt: I just came across this post of yours. Can you provide some clarifications on these problems ? a) What would you describe as a *clunk* ? Is that from a lurch in the tranny ? b) What is a whine ? Is that a buzzing/drone sound at the footwell/gas pedal at freeway speeds from the chassis or tranny? Have you found any other LX of your age or generation model that has some or all of these issues ? I am curious to find out. I subscribe to other dedicated LX forums (do a search on the web for these) and have yet to see these issues in great debate. Maybe I am not searching enough for these problems. FWIW, my '03 with 50K miles does NOT have any of the issues you describe. But I gotta keep my fingers crossed to see if these issues ever come up. I bought the truck for its reliability. If it turns out otherwise, I'll surely be very disappointed. Pls keep us updated on the resolution of these issues.
