#1421 of 1460 2002 LX 470 Nav System Problems by sblanker Aug 06, 2007 (3:59 am)
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?
#1422 of 1460 Gear Shift Issue by dudeduh Aug 09, 2007 (10:02 pm)
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?

Replying to: dudeduh (Aug 09, 2007 10:02 pm) I own a 2006 LX470 , regardless where I park I always engage the parking brake . Even inside the garage. I have never heard anyone having your problem. Perhaps you should check the lexusownersclub.com Hope this can be helpful      Lou

Replying to: dudeduh (Aug 09, 2007 10:02 pm) Dude, I have been this and other LX/LC boards for years and never came across something like this. Either your transmissions lock (P position is not working) or you selected either R or N which cause your truck to move back.   That or ......

Replying to: alexanderk (Sep 26, 2007 10:08 pm) I am on the same boat , just went past 22000 miles and these Dunlops are ready to bite the dust. Michelin is my only choice , but my only question would be which one ?       Lou
#1428 of 1460 LX470 Catalytic Converter Problem by hhi28 Mar 04, 2008 (10:27 am)
I got my 2000 LX470 and was told by dealer that there is issue with the CAT. It makes rattling sound around 2000 RPM or so and disappear beyond that. LEXUS service thinks it's the honeycomb in the CAT getting loose and floating around that makes the sound. The estimate to replace is about $ 2000 at LEXUS. He suggested to go to Midas for around $ 180-200 ?? Does this sound about right? Why so much different in price? Is there different quality in the product? I know nothing about car except that I am not ready to chill out $2000 for this problem.   What other alternative things I can do to fix the problem? I am not even sure if it is really the CAT? Suggestions? Thoughts?
#1429 of 1460 Re: weird wind noise [louie6] by moon21100 Apr 28, 2008 (3:08 am)
Replying to: louie6 (Jun 07, 2007 8:10 am) I have had noise in the front drivers seat of my 2007 LX470. Like a rumbling annoying wind noise. I have taken it to the dealership. They tried to fix it, but because the noise is "normal". They are saying they have done all they can. They tell me all LX470s have this annoying noise. My noise is inconsistent so it is difficult to pinpoint. The noise can happen at 50 to 60 miles in cruise mode. Replies to this message: houdini1 (Apr 29, 2008 4:55 am)

Replying to: moon21100 (Apr 28, 2008 3:08 am) I think they are feeding you a line of bull. Ask to drive other 2007s to see if they have the same noise, etc. then see what they come up with. Good luck.
