I just got it the other day. Super clean, Blk on blk interior w only 130k. Only problem is the telescopic steering wheel. I can't even get it to manually move. I searched on CL that it may be the motor. I checked the fuse and its good. Looks like the power seats and the telescopic steering share a fuse. I saw in the manual that there is a way to turn the steering wheel movement off, but I think thats just for the automatic thing it does when you put the key in the ignition. It said to disable this feature ask your lexus dealer which i'm not going to do. I can't even adjust it at all, and it makes no noise as if it was even trying to work. Any suggestions? or should i just grab a new motor for it? I read some guy took one apart and replaced the brushes he got from a place that rebuilds altenators. Just looking for some info before I dig in.. any help is appreciated.

hmm maybe the motor, from what I have read on here before, if the motor is good, you hear some sort of noise and It could be a quick fix, but in your case, im not so sure. wait for others to chime in.

BTW why wouldn't you go to the dealer? Price?

Another member had this issue and the dealer prices were ridiculous.. Try a junk yard or a auto parts store and DIY..

Congrats on the GS4..

yea i had this same problem and it went away for a while then just recently came back. mine was kinda related to it being rly cold. when its supper cold outside my steering wheel will move towards me but not down. kinda sucks *** having to drive like im in a transit bus. the dealer will tell you to replace the gear assembly which cost $1500. i had been studying the section for a while and i didnt see a simple motor that you could just swap out. best suggestion i got was to get sum auto grease and lube it up. there's a thread on here bout it....found it here ya go. try this before trynna replace motors n wut not

don't want to go to the dealer because i am a mechanic. I haven't had much time to look into the problem. I was just trying to see if anyone else has a clue of the issue before i dig in... not looking forward to it lol.. I guess il check the junk yards for a motor for it
