When the key is in the car, you should not be able to lock the car. It should go beeeep and refuse to lock. So this too suggests the likelihood of battery being weak.

Well I started this conversation regarding the jerky transmission, etc. back in 2007. I now have 30K on the car and have tried to have it taken back under the Lemon Law. Unfortunately, I failed. The car is worse now. Performance is not smooth any longer and the transmission often slips a little between shifts. I would say that accelleration is down about 10%. I could go on and on, but as has been the case for too long, the dealer can't find anything wrong. Absolutely pathetic! This is one erratic automobile. For someone who has been a car buff most of my life, I can say that this car has had me going up and down like a YoYo for more than 10 years. I am done. I will sell it and buy something else.

Renny: Sorry for such a late response. I don't look at this site often, although I should. Problems have never been resolved. I even tried to convince the Lemon Law boys to have Lexus take it back. No deal. Problem is actually worse now, but very erractic. At 30K miles, I am done with this car. Sorry, but it never drives the same way twice and it drive me crazy. Even my wife, who is clueless when it comes to cars, has noticed the problem. Unfortunately, the dealer can't figure it out. Of course, they never think that a Lexus can have a problem. Right..
Good luck. DC

Dear God. You are so right. The loaner cars I get from Lexus when I bring it in for service shift better and almost go as fast. Lexus has a problem on their hands and it is too big to admit.

Both Tustin Lexus and Newport Lexus are owned by the same people. I have been driving LS's since 1992. These two dealers are the worst. I have never taken my Lexus to these people that they were able confirm a complaint I had, except the starter that went out that cost me $1600. to replace.
Sorry folks, but the Lexus LS 460 has indeed been overhyped. It is smooth as glass only when it feels like it, and I should be able to count on that every time I drive it, not just when it figures out how I drive, if ever.

You guys are beating a dead horse.
The LS460 has been a great car and will grab another 2010 in the Fall when they come out. Have recomended the car to my friends and they all love it.
Maybe your problem is with the dealer and not the car.

Yes, I suspect that Lexus will do well with the average luxury car buyer in 2010. However, it is not just a dealer issue, or in my head, or the heads of others who have taken the time to list their complaints. In my case, your suggestion is an insult to my 45 years of building, racing and lusting over the automobile. “Beating a dead horse”, as you say, is part of what it takes to make the improvements necessary to build on what is in most respects a truly extraordinary automobile

Hate to ask, but if you only fill the tank 3/4 full, does it still smell? If not, then it's probably the charcoal canister needs replacement.
