Replying to: tritel (Sep 03, 2006 10:00 am) WOW! That is all I can say. That does not sound good at all. It really scares me to think that has happened to an almost brand new Lexus. Have you ever had a any other problems with your other Lexus'? Have you always bought from the same dealership?

Replying to: tritel (Sep 03, 2006 10:00 am) Does anyone know of any recourse I might have since we are just outside the lemon law.   Ouch. The car's too new, and if it's having brake failure issues they should be fixable and I wouldn't take the car back until the entire brake system has been fixed and checked out. Unfortunately, just because your wife won't drive it doesn't obligate them to "work with you" ... but once letitimate fears have arisen it's a fairly strong argument w/ lugging kids around, etc, to have an attorney knowledgable about this sort of thing write them a strong letter. As it's an intermittent thing, how will you ever know when it's really safe to drive! I'm on your wife's side ... and I wouldn't rest until this issue was resolved and the car replaced.
#77 of 118 Nav directions and radio by jasp615 Sep 04, 2006 (8:25 am)
I listen to the radio pretty loud and in my Cadillac when I was under the nav directions when it was time to turn or be warned of the next exit I was to take, the radio would lower automatic and the voice would come on. With this GX it seems like the radio will not lower and you can't hear the voice unless you yourself would lower the radio. Am I doing something wrong or have something set wrong?

Replying to: jasp615 (Sep 04, 2006 8:25 am) Must be something wrong with the software. My wife's GX gets VERY much softer when NAV instructions come on. I drive an Infiniti M35 ... in THAT car, although the audio does soften a bit, it doesn't begin to compare with the quieting in the Lexus. That's the ONLY part of the Lexus that I feel is superior to the Infiniti! Bart

Replying to: jasp615 (Sep 04, 2006 8:25 am) This is normal in the GX. I had an 05 GX and now have a 06 GX. The nav voice just doesn't go loud enough when the radio is turned up. If the volumn on the radio is low, then I can hear the nav voice. For some reason, Lexus doesn't want the nav voice to be loud. Who knows what their logic is for that. I imagine its the same on other Lexus vehicles.

#81 of 118 Looking for anyone with a 2007 GX470 NAV by cw5jb Oct 05, 2006 (12:49 pm)
I’m looking for anyone who owns a 2007 GX470 with NAV. My question to all that own a 07 with NAV would be, have you figured out the voice command for the air conditioner? I have not been able to get the A/C to work using a voice command. I owned a 05 GX and a 06 RX400h in which the voice command worked well for the A/C.

Replying to: cdfwife (Jul 18, 2006 8:11 pm) The service isn't bad, the customer care stynx. I got my 2nd Infiniti from the dealer across the street and their attention to detail makes our Lexus dealer look like he's serving Yugo owners. Bart

Replying to: cwilbs (Sep 02, 2006 6:37 pm) Dear cwilbs! I am surprised that your dealer is not communicating with you to your satisfaction. My suggestions: -look for a lawfirm that has handled automotive complaints in the past, possibly from your State (of residence); -provide them with information, and -with a Customer Service history printout from the dealership that has been servicing your Lexus (it is free of charge - you have the right to get it while you wait!) -tell the lawfirm you intend to hire, that you need to initiate a legal process by sending a "Letter of Demand" about your complains (cost: $800 or less);  I wish you good luck! Andrew

Replying to: cw5jb (Oct 05, 2006 12:49 pm) I bought my wife a 2007 GX470 with navigation. During the December to remember sale. I cannot get the voice command to operate the Air condition either. It doesn't make sense that the older generation models, 2006 and older have that function and the newest models do not. Please let me know if you find a solution to this problem.
