broke down with what I think is the rear diff.
Guys, I have been hearing a thud in the rear once in a while the past few weeks. I blew my rear diff in my old is350 and this feels and sounds the same. I won't know anything until the morning. Question is I have 72730 on the clock and just ran out of warranty about a month and half ago. Could I or should I contact lexus about this to see if they would cover this? Fully or partially? Wasn't sure if it's worth trying to?
Also anybody have a diff they are selling or know where I can get one? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

No extended warranty. Should I have my machanic look at it first and then contact lexus? Sorry for all the ?'s just want to do things in the right order.

So lexus corporate is assigning me a case number and I have to get the car towed to my local dealer for inspection. they can't tell me anything until an inspection has been done and how much it would cost to fix. At which then they will determine if lexus will cover the cost of repair, or if any portion. think I'm going to go this route and see if lexus will step up and cover this issue.

You've blown up both an IS350 and an IS-F differential? That's pretty bizarre.

I thought this was very strange as well having both my 2008's blowing up rear diff's. My is350 only had 48k on it when that one went and I was going to change out my diff oil in the spring on the F but I then this happened. I just find it hard to believe that I'm an isolated case with this. I drive spirited but don't beat the living hell out of my car and make sure all routine maintenance is done on time.
