| I've had my '05 LX 470 for a few months. When driving at high speeds (50+) and especially when it is windy, there is a really loud noise coming from what seems to be the front driver side of the vehicle. It is almost like a howl of sorts and can be really loud and anoying. I didn't know if was normal becuase the vehicle does sit higher up and wind does pass through the vehicle with more ease. Has anyone else encountered this problem? | |

Just picked up an '05 LX, Blue Vapor, fully-loaded, 19k mi., including Night Vision & rear-DVD, etc. So far, it's great. Drives great. Can't believe all the electronic stuff. Voice-activation for everything is very cool. Will take a while to learn everything though. |

Replying to: louie6 (Jun 07, 2007 8:10 am) I figured it was something to do with the replaced crossbar and sure enough the crossbar had been put in with the wrong side facing forward. It is shaped sort of like an airplane wing and the tapering side should face the rear. The bar was reversed, problem solved. |

Replying to: louie6 (Jun 07, 2007 8:10 am) I had two similar problems the first one seems to be like whistle and the other like a herd of Water Buffalo, a rattling sound. Not on the same time period . The whistle appear after a full detail done at the dealers. While cleaning the dashboard accidentally a small button was press and slightly opened the right rear window. Once properly closed the sound disappeared. The WB sound was little hard to figure out but to make it short it was roof rack , the little wheels that tightens the roof rack was loose ( 2 wheels or knobs ) Lou |

| In January, 2006 I replaced the entire nav system at a cost of almost $2K -- it was completely dead. In October, 2006 the dealer checked the system out because it would periodically blank out or freeze up. Naturally they found no problems. In the last couple days it has turned off or frozen up several times. Needless to say I am extremely unhappy. Any help out there? | |
Recently, my 2005 Lexus LX470 was parked on a slightly sloped parking spot. My gear was in "P" position when I exited the car, but I did not engage my side-brake and I left my engine on to keep the AC running (I was just picking up something quick). I walked away few yards when I needed to return to my car to get something. When I opened the door and with my body quarter of way in the car, the car started to roll backward down the slope (my foot got caught under the tire and I fell to the ground). It rolled until it hit another parked car. Has anybody heard anything similar to this? Does Lexus LX470 have problem with gear shifter?
