#231 of 240 CD Name & Track Data Display by tom17 May 31, 2008 (6:13 pm)
I just bought a new GS350. What a great car! But when I put my factory CD's (not copies or MP3's), the system does not display the CD name & track info. I can get to the menu where the info is supposed to be but it says "". They work fine when inserted into my PC (displays info for every track). Looked thru the manual which says the data is supposed to be displayed automatically. Anyone seen this before and know the fix? Thanks.

I just finished the extended warranty i tink it was 8 yrs. It saved us tons of money b/c i moved the car from phily to LA and the moving company must have bottomed out the car b/c when i got to la had to replace the intermediate pipe, and the front bushings on my strut. Just 11 months after the bushings had to replaced, when i picked it up from the dealer the car started making clunking creaking noises, but when i went in 2 days later they kinda disappeared, however the steering now feels a lot more vague than before. Anyone know what to do, the service is still covered for another 11 months
#233 of 240 Lexus GS >2006 Engine Noise by satyarg Sep 10, 2008 (11:13 am)
Hi ,   I recently brought a GS AWD . However I feel the engine too loud and can hear the humm inside the vehicle. Thought my earlier Camry was better shielded for noise.   Is this common for a GS ? Thats what the dealer personnel said. Replies to this message: tom17 (Sep 10, 2008 6:49 pm)

#236 of 240 Seat Belt Tensioner Rattle by ractlc Dec 04, 2008 (9:24 am)
The Seat Belt Tensionier on my 07 GS 350 AWD (I think that's what its called) on the car frame (next to my left ear) has started rattling. I took it to the dealer and they said they can hear anything. Has anyone else had this problem? It is really annoying since it is right next to my left ear.   Thanks, Rick in St. Louis, MO Replies to this message: chucko3 (Dec 16, 2008 4:43 pm)

Replying to: ractlc (Dec 04, 2008 9:24 am) Once in a while I heard a creaking noise. Around the area you mentioned. Since it didn't happen all the time I can't pinpoint the location. It happens only when the outside temp is around 30F+

Replying to: johnp_dayton (Dec 29, 2006 7:22 am) Hi, I have 2002 GS300 with a similar problem on the driver side. I think your tech. finding of missing a body plug is the most logical answer to my problem as well. Can you please tell me where is the body plug is located. Thank you
#239 of 240 transmission shifting issues by gigikash Apr 23, 2009 (7:45 am)
I have a 2002 GS300-when I put in Drive the motor revs but the car won't move. This last about 15secs. Shift back in park seems to be okay. Also when driving car everything will be fine-get to a stop sign-car will hesitate when pulling out. The car has 60,000 miles. Had transmission flushed-new fluid. Fluid looked good.. Is this a transmission problem or fuel system problem? Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Brian Replies to this message: samiam_68 (Apr 23, 2009 8:42 pm)

Replying to: gigikash (Apr 23, 2009 7:45 am) I have a 2000 GS-400 and it does exhibit similar behavior occasionally. Also 60K miles, also had the trans fluid changed. This happens once in a while, almost feels like the transmission is not fully engaged in gear. I find that shifting to D while holding down the brake, and not releasing the brake until feeling the tranny fully engaged, usually prevents this from happening. It takes 1-2 seconds.
