You are in the Lexus LS 400/LS 430 Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
| I have a 1991 LS400 with 209k on it. I have a slight engine skip when speed is held steady between 40 and 50mph. No skip at any other speed. I used fuel injector cleaners, use only premium gas and really follow all maintenance schedules. Any advice, suggestions? | |

| I recently purchased an '06 LS430 and while washing it this weekend noticed that 2 of the wheels are peeling. Has anyone else experienced this and what can I do to restore the finish? | |

I have a 2001 LS430 with 79k miles. I purchased 7yr/100k warranty. Warranty runs out mid Nov and I want to make sure that all items that need repair under warranty are identified and corrected. I'm not mechanically inclined. Am going to take car to local Lexus dealer and ask him to check out thoroughly. Will appreciate your thoughts on items/concerns to pay particular attention to during this Lexus checkout. Thanks so much for your input.

Replying to: nvbanker (Aug 25, 2008 9:07 am) But the answer is that while I don't really think so the fact is I don't know if "my" generation of LSes has interference engine.

Replying to: wwest (Aug 26, 2008 9:15 am) Actually yes, sort of. I won't run a set of tires more than about 4 years or 50,000 miles, even if the tread looks good still. Between the heat damage of the SouthWest, and just how many times the tire should flex before it becomes potentially unstable, I figure it's best to change 'em out. I think Firestone proved my point a few years ago. To avoid devastation of that engine, you bet, I'll change it out at the recommended interval.

Replying to: nvbanker (Aug 26, 2008 9:47 am) No, if you're thinking of the incident concerning the Ford Explorer then Firestone was more of an innocent bystander that inadvertently became a victim. When it was discovered that the Explorer had an unusual propensity for rollover Ford decided that it was to late and too expensive to go back to the design table and decided instead that the rollover propensity could be reduced "just enough" if the tires were under inflated ever so slightly. Under inflated tires, hours of high speed tire flex.....
