This is something that the company puts out letting you know that there is something wrong that needs to be fix but it doesn't need to have a recall due to not posing a safty hazzard. Under your Vin number I believe they can tell if this was ever addressed. If not you are entitled to have this done. One thing I'm not sure of if this has to be done while sill under the original 4 yrs or 50,000 mile. Out of 20 new trucks that we have owned this has to be one of the best choices that we have made. This is also the first foreign trucks that we have owned also. Can't compare. Replies to this message: steve_ (Apr 01, 2007 7:20 am)

Replying to: jasp615 (Apr 01, 2007 6:30 am) "A technical service bulletin is actually an advisory issued by a manufacturer for use by dealership service departments.   And, of course, the best thing about finding a TSB that seems to cover a persistent problem in your vehicle is that dealerships will make the repair for free, provided that       * Your vehicle is under warranty;       * Your service advisor and/or technicians are able to confirm that the problem exists. "   You, Your Vehicle and the Technical Service Bulletin (TSB)   Edmunds has summary TSB info in the Edmunds Maintenance Guide.

#96 of 118 Problems with front seats by stormbringer1 Apr 27, 2007 (3:20 pm)
Have been hearing clanking noises from front passenger seat when someone is riding in vehicle. Almost sounds like a loose soda can hitting the side of the car. Of course Lexus did not do as I requested in having a person sit in the passenger seat when test driving, had to waste another day to return and have manager ride in vehicle. Funny heard the noise going right out the drive-way at Lexus. End result is they changed the entire passenger seat. Anyone encounter this I have a new passenger seat that does not match the drivers seat in terms of the wear on the leather. Lexus is replacing a part on the drivers side but not sure what that is. Things usually get resolved with Lexus but this one has me wondering. It looks funny with new gray leather and the others are smooth.

I just bought a GX and cannot get the rolling code garage door opener to work as instructed in the owner's manual. I'm using a Chamberlain Series 1200 rolling code garage door opener.

Replying to: rcetina (Jul 01, 2007 12:44 pm) I'm sure it is in your manual. I know it is in my 2003 4Runner...

Replying to: mitchusson (May 24, 2007 12:10 pm) hey mitchusson,   hope you were able to program your garage door opener. I too just got a new Chamberlain garage door opener. To program it into your GX470, you must first follow steps 1-4 under the "Programming the HomeLink" instructions in your manual. Then follow the "Programming a rolling code system". Hope this helps.

Replying to: vwsharlow (Mar 30, 2007 6:48 pm) Hi, Did you ever get the clunk and A/C probs repaired. I have both probs on my '03 GX, just had the TSB done for the A/C issue (Lexus was super nice, covered it even though my car has 60k miles and gave me a loaner). I do notice though that the a/c keeps getting cool and then warm again still, I am taking it back this week for them to check it again. The "cliunk" parts have been on order for my car for over a month now, my car has a terrible clunk at every start/stop. They said they will cover the clunk TSB as well, they have been wonderful! Let me know how it went for you, please. Hope all is fixed! Thanks in adavance!
