Lexus Survey by puna
Dec 10, 2008 (11:22 am)
Reply
I recently got a 2008 GS-350, am very happy with the car, got it from one of the major dealers here in Atlanta, I wasnt very happy with the process and the way I was treated in the dealership when I picked up the car and I expressed my unhappiness to the GM.
I never heard back from him or any one else...
I was wondering how long it takes for Lexus to send the feedback survey?, is it a phone survey or a form?
 
Also are there any other things I should expect from Lexus after the purchase of the car?
 
Can I take my car for the 1K and 5K service to a different dealer?

You can take your car to any Lexus dealership.
What in particular you did not like about the dealership when you picked up your car?

Last year I bought an RX350 for my wife at Nalley Lexus. We had a good buying experience from them and felt good about the process. We have been back once for service and had a good experience then too.
 
The written survey should come in the first month. I'm surprise the GM didn't get back with you. Not very Lexus-like, but dealers vary in their service. I left the dealer in Macon because of poor service.
 
Where did you go in ATL?

Could there be more to this story than we have seen?

I've been chasing the break-screech for several months - same feedback. In late December I was told either new pads or spacers would be availalbe in January to correct the issue. NYC taxicab is a interesting description - I used School Bus and Dump Truck a few times.
 
I also have a squeak on the WIndshield / dash area that occurs in cold weather. Minor bumps in the road and turns into a parking lot that make the car flex create the noise. Inside Rearview mirror also vibrates (a lot) when the sun roof is open. Makes me wonder about the body handles flex.

I own a 2007 GS 350 AWD - best car I've ever owned - I had the same problems a year ago and took it to a Wilkie Lexus, Haverford PA - the problems were repaired in a few hours - to stop the windshield squeak, techs need to remove the dash - I was told the brakes and windshield are a known problem and items available for repairs - call the Lexus Customer Service toll free number for advice - it's in your manual -

The TSB for creaking windshield I posted previously did not fix
the creaking noise. I inserted a soft foam as a cushion between
the windshield & dashboard on both driver side & passenger side. The creaking noise is very much gone every time the
car runs over a bump now. The insertion is between the vent
hole & a small speaker on the dashboard, on each side.
 
The TSB for rearview mirror fixed the vibration. The dealer
has to replace a mirror. The mirror costs a fortune, but it's
covered under warranty.
 
Still waiting for a fix to the brake squealing noise. Dealer will let
me know when the new parts arrive (ETA in late Jan 09).
Today outside temperature is below 32F, and the brakes squeal
every time I used them. Kinda annoying.

I just took my car in today to have them replaced. Seems to have worked but I only drove it for about 30 minutes (drive home from the dealer) so my hope that is the quiet continues!! YEAH!!

I hope the new pads will also fix the excessive dust issue.
