I found in the maintenance booklet that the IS has a timing "chain" (instead of belt), and "sealed" transmission and transfer case. Therefore, no need for associated fluid changes nor expensive timing belt change; unlike many other Lexus/Toyota vehicles. This should help keep maintenance costs down. I can't remember having been told this by the dealer/service rep but it's good news for me. (48K mi on my '06 IS 250awd) |

| My wife's IS250 would have filthy wheels a few miles after a car wash. The dealer replaced the pads at no charge and the dust is problem far better. | |

I have a 2008 IS250 and something is poping when I make slow turns (like when I am in a parking lot or making a u-turn). Lexus has had the car over 1 1/2 months with no ETA on when I will get my car back. Here is a little history on my car. 1. I got rear ended 2 months after I bought it new (7K in damage). 2. About 2 months later a rattle / something was loose in the front end. They replaced the front strut. 3. About 4 months later I hear the popping noise. At first, it happen so rarely that I could not put my finger on it. I took it in and they said that the other Lexus dealer did not tighten all the bolts from the strut. As soon as I drove out of the dealership the noise was still there. Then a week later, I brought it back and now it is the shop for the past 1 1/2 months. Anyone know what this could be? I am afraid they are going to put up the BS flag and say that the front end popping sound was from the rear end accident. Would the accident void me from GA lemon laws... |
