Hi: I need help here. I bought this car from the dealer. Took it home, played with this and that ,now the check engine light and trac off lights are on. My guess is the gas cap was opened and improperly closed. The lights have stayed on for 2 days and maybe 4 short trips of 8 mile duration each. When is this thing going to shut off or maybe I have some other culprit ? Do you guys take it to Lexus dealer for repairs ? Or the corner repair shop will do. Car has 99000 miles maybe overdue timing belt replacement.

| I'd like a referral to a local auto repair shop convenient to the San Fernando Valley that specializes in Lexus autos. I need to have work done on a 1997 LS400. Can anyone help? Thanks. | |

| I have a MIL problem on my 98 es300. My mechanic did a scan which indicated that the charcoal canister and vapor purge valve were malfunctioning. I was told that this would not cause any damage to the engine. Is this true? Also, I am considering replacing the canister and purge valve with a used one (canister and valve included)that I saw on eBay. Has this happened to anyone else and would you recommend this action? | |

I have an opportunity to buy a 2002 ES300 for $18990 from one of the buying programs here in So. Cal. It has the 6cd changer, leather and wood wrapped wheel, sunroof, and other than that it is pretty basic. It has 69,250 miles, so the factory warranty is set to expire in a few hundred miles. This seems like an incredible deal to me, since I'm looking at used altima 3.5s for roughly the same price. I've read quite a bit about the transmission issues here in the forums, but I didn't notice it when I test drove it a couple days ago. I did notice that it wasn't a very beefy engine, but I'll trade that for the lush interior and cushy ride. I'm taking it to an independant mechanic in a few days for a look-see, is there something I can alert him to that would say if this transmission problem has been fixed or not? I'll definitely pay attention to it when I drive to the mechanic, but I think it won't be much of a problem for me since I'm not a speed freak anyway. Other than that, I'm pretty excited, I didn't think I'd be able to get into a car like this for the price.

What % of 2003 ES has the transmission Problem? I considering the purchase of a 2003 ES from a good friend who tells me he has never had a transmission issue with his car. Do all 2003 models have this problem?
