#52 of 118 brake clunk by cdfwife Jul 05, 2006 (8:30 pm)
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.
#54 of 118 2006 GX470 Vibration!!! by bcardenas Jul 08, 2006 (12:05 am)
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? Replies to this message: conflictedguy (Jul 08, 2006 12:42 am) blov8r (Jul 08, 2006 1:58 pm)

Replying to: bcardenas (Jul 08, 2006 12:05 am) BCardenas,   What year is your GX? How many miles on it? What were the original tires and what do you have now?

Replying to: bcardenas (Jul 08, 2006 12:05 am) If that vibration remains with new tires and wheels, and yet another set of tires and wheels, you may have an unfixable problem and a legit claim under your state's lemon laws ... unless you've leased in which event lemon laws have (at least in some states) been judged not applicable to leases. I recently read with some skepticism that someone had a similar vibration and the dealer/service department said it would settle down and stop in ~ 500 miles. I don't buy into that explanation. Having personally owned MANY new cars of all descriptions, having rented heaven knows how many more, and not knowing a single person who has had such a problem I've got to believe you have a problem car. Insist on having the wheels and tires changed AGAIN and don't cave in to any pressure from them. If you don't get satisfaction from your dealer, go to the Lexus regional office.

Replying to: conflictedguy (Jul 02, 2006 2:40 pm) This is utter nonsense. You yourself can put air into any tire that needs it on any Lexus vehicle. Where do some of these sales droids come from? Replies to this message: conflictedguy (Jul 10, 2006 3:42 pm)

Replying to: bobs05coupe (Jul 10, 2006 3:26 pm) In this case, my salesperson insisted that this is how they were trained by their "Lexus Trainer". I've spoken with Lexus Corporate about the issue, to try and make sure they get someone back out to the dealership to "retrain" the salespeople.
#59 of 118 Pulsating Brakes by flsaltydog Jul 12, 2006 (4:56 am)
I have an 04 GX470. My wife drives it 95% of the time. Beginning around 12,000 miles brakes started to pulse under normal braking. Feels like the rotors are warped. It got progressively worse and now has 20,000 miles. We took it to the dealer and they are stating that it is not a covered warranty item as the vehicle is over one year old. I've had less expensive (lesser quality) vehicles with more miles, driven much harder and without any brake problems. Has anyone had this problem?? Any suggestions on how to get this resolved under warranty?? I'm not getting any satisfaction with the local dealership. Replies to this message: kendall8 (Jun 25, 2007 10:47 am)
#60 of 118 kdss by slooose Jul 12, 2006 (9:41 am)
Do any of you that have handling problems have the KDSS package. I am intereted in buying a 2006 GX 470 but on my test drive I did notice more sway then I was comfortable with. I understand the KDSS package improves handling on the highway. I did like the quick acceleration and the quietness of the ride----did not notice any clunking (but then the darn saleman is chattering away. Also, does anybody run regular gas in the 2006's?   Slooose Replies to this message: blov8r (Jul 12, 2006 3:37 pm)

Replying to: slooose (Jul 12, 2006 9:41 am) Sorry to seem dense, but what's the KDSS package? I guess (from context) it's a suspension package. You did indeed notice the sway that I and others here have noticed and complained about.   Insofar as regular gas is concerned, I NEVER run anything less than medium octane (eg, 89 v. 87) and more likely use premium particularly in a car/truck I plan to keep for years ... as is the case with my wife's GX as she typically keeps her ride for 10 years.
