Nice! I've always wanted the windows to roll down for the ISF. I'll ask my SA and see if the dealership can do it too

I took my car in for the cooling fan recall and received the car back with coolant that isn't pink. Also upon trying to open up the reservoir tank it makes a sound as if I were opening a soda bottle. Did anyone else have a similar experience?

Yeah no.. That's wrong...

Unless Toyota / Lexus came out with a new color.. There is a problem with the coolant they used...

Your car might already be able to do it already. From what I have read you just hold down the unlock on the fob for a few seconds and they will roll down.

Coolant should be pink in coloration. Dealer should also fill up your gas tank. If they didn't do that, ask them to.

To add to this, don't know if it's standard practice but my dealer also washed and vacuumed the car before I picked it up with a full tank. Miles in and miles out were recorded by them and I checked the MPG (stayed pretty much the same) so I know they didn't beat on the car either.

They are generally pretty good about driving it. I have a dash cam and never recorded an incident where the tech just beat on the car. The porters would rev up the car a little here and there which I don't have a problem with.

I don't know if I should be concerned. But my 2012 ISF shows no recalls so I called the dealer and they verified that there are no recalls on my car. Why?
