Been having a rattle noise in the back of the car Tried to find out where the rattle was coming from It turned out it is the two latches on the rail that hold the trunck cover I squeezed two small pieces of soft plastic behind the latches and the rattle disapeared. You can use cloth or paper and it will do the job

Replying to: lakeitup (May 06, 2009 6:12 pm) Sorry for the delay , The two latches are in the back of the car where you slide in the tonneau cover (the cover that you put in the trunck to hide your stuff inside) What I did is insert (squeeze) a thick carton in the space behind the latch so that the latch will not move anymore. The ratlle disapeared. It used to be very annoying when driving over a bumpy or rugged asphalt street I lalso found out there is a TSB for this. let me know if you are able to fix it Or I can send you a picture I dont know if PM is available on this forum Regards

Replying to: solar2000 (Aug 18, 2007 5:32 pm) I just bought a 2006 RX330 with 67k mi.. After the deal and before paying, I had asked about an extended warranty. The closer offered 3 options. 4 yr 48000 mi for $6200. the least was $2400 for 24 mo/24000 miles. I passed on all extended warranties. I'm gambling that I can get more from my money w/o the warranty. Hope this info helps. There are better prices out there, but this was a lexus dealers best. It was not a CPO warranty either. Good, but not worth $6 large. |

| You did the smart thing by passing up the extended warranty. In my opinion they are a rip off and this is particularly true of a Lexus warranty. I have a '03 Lexus LS and an '05 Lexus RX. They are both out of warranty and I wouldn't even consider paying for the extended warranty. The Lexus build quality is such that they are not too likely to need much work after they are out of warranty if you perform the necessary routine maintenance i.e., change oil, filter, rotate tires, and a few other items on the maintenance schedule. I have now had six Lexus' and owned all of them for over 75K miles and one of them for 128K before selling it. None of them have ever needed any significant maintenance work after the manufactures warranty expired. I'm sure that there are people out there who have not had such great experiences with their Lexus but I would bet that the great majority have had experience similar to mine. Good luck and enjoy a great car. | |
| My 2005, Rx 330, with 68K needs the strut mounts replaced. The local Lexus dealership already replaced the struts, which was covered by warranty, as the vehicle had below 50K at the time. I'm thinking the dealership should cover the strut mounts? Does anyone have any information for me to use as ammo? | |

Replying to: showster (May 22, 2009 1:12 pm) You might be able to make a case that the struts wore prematurely due to defective mounts but I'm not sure how you do that. tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper |
