I went in with 25.8 avg mpg and it comes out with 13.2, very annoying

and service guys really like to ask if you want to trade up to RCF...replied 2 doors wont work...and then they went and say the GSF is coming out to match the M5 and blah blah
Aaaand that's why I'm waiting for my dash cam to arrive before I go in for the recall.

I just got my letter in the mail last week. Do they really do a coolant flush with this recall? I'm only asking because I'm due for one lol but waiting until we get a break in the weather so I could get a free car wash as well hahaha

Scheduled my appt for next week earlier...I asked for an RCF loaner...no dice.

Then she said they have one there right now...checked online and saw nothing...called and spoke to a different person who confirmed they have an RC F-Sport but no RCF. Then she said to ask for her when I drop off my car next weds and I can take the RCF they're getting for a spin

I just took my 11 ISF in for a rear shock replacement. MY buddy is a master tech there at Sewell Lexus. He said the younger guys will play race car with the ISF's so I'm glad I requested him to work on it rather than some young punk. They're replacing my shock and also told me my car was due for the cooling fan recall. I got a 2014 IS250 for a loaner. I miss my car so bad. I've only had it two days!!

I dropped my car off yesterday for the fan recall and my service advisor told me the fuel line recall came up under my vin as well. He said there's no fix for that one as of yet.
I'm hoping to get my F back today however my work schedule may prevent that from happening until Saturday morning!
For my troubles, I was given an ES350. This boat would have been fine for a few hours but for a few days?!
Good luck to everyone else

^ I actually liked that car, after being in my dropped F it was nice driving a big luxury sedan, took it on a road trip and it was smooth sailing the whole time. Felt like a grandma though. haha

I felt the same way when they gave me an ES350 loaner. Really well-built and cushy but zero ballz...and just pretend the shift paddles aren't there at all because they react about 3 seconds later than in the F
