Replying to: bsackett1 (Jun 27, 2006 12:06 pm) Secondly, Lincoln has NOT ONCE failed to give me a loaner for an oil change, or any other service I've had, for the past 15 years! Finally, if you bother to check my carspace, you'll see my 03 Navigator (may it rest in peace in Phoenix somewhere) in Death Valley, on the Race Track road, which is a 30 mile one way jeep trail only, and it not only came back without incident, it had just as many rattles as when we started - 0 -. Your comments are unnecessary, your facts are in error, and if you have not had one, unresponsive. So let's just move on please, to helping people with their problems here constructively.

Just bought a new GX 470, and my salesperson, who seems to be pretty knowlegable about the car, told me that LEXUS needed to fill the tires with air in order to "register" the tire monitors properly. I was surprised -- "You mean -- if a tire is low -- I need to bring it in to Lexus Service?!" "Yes. Otherwise, they won't report accurately." After reading the GX 470 Owner's Manual, it seem like Lexus absolutely didn’t care if you fill your tires yourself, and in fact, recommend you check and maintain tire pressure. No warning about Lexus Service needing to "register" or adjust each monitor. I understand the need to "register" new tires with different batches of monitors. That makes sense. Has anyone EVER heard this before? Is there anything about this issue (like a TSIB) from Lexus? Where could I refer this salesperson if she is misinformed? --

Replying to: conflictedguy (Jul 02, 2006 2:40 pm) Our GX is an '04 and from what I can gather from the salespeople and the manual the tire monitors only signal a "low" inflation "too late light". I don't get their reasoning. I'd rather have NO monitors and rely on my old hand-held guage than have a semi-reliable monitoring system. My daily ride is an Infiniti M35 ... it monitors all four tires but not accurately enough for me to feel totally comfortable with inflation. I still check them every couple of weeks. Bart

I had the dealer search for a tsb fix for the brake clunk, and they found it and ordered the parts. I go in tomorrow for the fix. Hope it works.

| The Lexus dealer fixed the brake clunk. I haven't had a problem since. They also waxed the car and clayed it, and it feels and looks awesome. | |

How dissapointed I am. I use to have the LX470 for 5 years I choose to go to the GX because it was something new but same. I have only have had the GX for 1 month and it has gone in for service 4 times. The GX starts to vibrate and shake once it hit 54 mph. which is crazy. They say it is because of the tire and wheels I brought the car with. They have changed the wheels tires and bolts and it is still doing the same. I was told if I put the original wheels and tires the vibration will go away.. However, reading that I am not the only one with this problem I dont think it will work. I just cant believe Lexus would sell a brand new car with wheels that don't sit right on the car. Especially when one of the reasons I bought the car was because it looked pretty with the wheels. What can i do?
