#408 of 417 Tire Problems Ony New GS350 by abacomike

May 23, 2012 (2:30 pm)

I've had some real problems with my new 2013 Lexus GS350's tires. They say it's not balancing since they rebalanced the tires twice. There is a vibration in the steering wheel when the tires are cold. The vibration is so pronounced that I get a rattling sound in my dashboard. Dealership says they can't do anything unless Lexus authorizes that the tires be changed. I've contacted Lexus, but I am not getting anywhere WIYH them. My service dept. told me there have been several reports of complaints about vibrations in the steering wheel in different parts of the country, but Lexus refuses to do anything.
 
I sure hope this isn't another hidden problem with Toyota products that Toyota refuses to admit!
 
Be careful when you test drive one to make sure there is no vibration in the steering!

Some models had a steering issue which was corrected but it was not related to the tires. See further postings on clublexus gen4 forums

Steering problems
 
I checked that out, but I did not see anything about steering problems in the new 2013 GS 350. My assistant service manager at Lexus told me he drove one of the 2013 GS 350s the use for loaners and it had the same problem. I asked him about the steering problem, and he said he was not aware of any steering problems in the 2013 GS 350, just several complaints regarding tires!
 
So I'll have to wait until Lexus makes up their mind about what they plan to do!
 
Thanks for the feedback as well as input.

#411 of 417 Tough to find something to complain about! by Seegarz

Nov 19, 2012 (10:11 pm)

I've put 5000 miles on my GS350 since purchase mid-August and I must say this is the best vehicle I've ever driven. The comfort, engine smoothness, handling, acceleration just simply outstanding. My only complaint is that BSM should come with the Premium package. I had it on a Mazda6i and it is great function to have. The other was that I had to break the center console cup holder cover to retrieve my DL and C/C that fell behind it when it popped open. Fortunately, the dealer replaced it free of charge even though it wasn't under warranty. The service reps at the Lexus San Diego dealer were awesome... kudos to the internet team as well that sold me this ride. I can't say enough about it!! Best $50,000 I ever spent.

Got a 2013 GS 350 awd F Sport in Liquid Platinum. Best quality car I have ever driven. Absolutely fantastic. There is nothing to complain about, and this comes after having an '06 piece of crap and a pretty nice '08. This car is sweet and amazing. Of note is how the new iPhone 5 interfaces. Texts come in and you can play the messages aloud if you wish. Very cool. So far, replies are not working. Not sure why. Talking messages also work with incoming emails...awesome...this car is a winner!

#413 of 417 Headroom by rbirns1

Dec 06, 2012 (1:08 pm)

I have something to complain about--rear seat headroom. The outboard seats are fine, but the rear middle seat is severely lacking. I am 6-2, and I need to lean forward and duck my head to fit in the middle. The seat is unusable for anyone over about 5-9. I don't mean uncomfortable, I mean unusable. You cannot have three adults or tall kids in the back. Deal breaker for me. If you ever carry three in the back, be sure to check this yourself before buying.

How much discount should I expect to get for a new 2013 GS350 with a sticker price of $53,375?

All depends on what state it is. In my state ct,i purchased my 2011 gs350 new.
I checked prices with 3 of the ct.dealers. One took off only $700. They even had a hard time doing that even though it was my second purchase. Quote`We Don`t Discount`Lexus policy`

I bought mine for invoice less $1500 for a conquest incentive they had going at the time. It depends on where you live.
