Default Service Appintment Tomorrow - Any Additional Suggestions?

Service appointment tomorrow.

List includes:

Poor MPG's
Poor Heated Seats
Slow Radio / Navigation System
Headlamp Condensation
Inner Tire Wear
High Pitch Buzzing Noise on Acceleration

Any other common problems anyone's noticed that I should look into as well?

Thanks!

My shifter **** was loose on day 1 (bought 8/29). If tighten, it would end sideways. Check yours with a medium-hard twist of the wrist.

Also, check if they can program it so the dash which moves to the side on the F-Sport can remain there even after a restart (I'm assuming you have the F-Sport).

Thanks for your prompt reply!

Yes, my shift **** has done same since new! Not entirely loose, so always thought it was to adjust to the desired angle! As far as the F Sport gauge, I've asked before and not possible. :|

Thanks as well!

Haven't noticed same, but will take a closer look! Hope the dealer was able to eliminate the noises for you!

Have the dealer program the Lexus personalized settings for free, like turning off the damn seatbelt alarm.

And I'm surprised Lexus doesn't make them clean up their act.
