Yeah I wonder what the doors do without it? So all the doors work except for one? But the latch and lock assembly are just fine?

My son routinely slams his door shut - drives me bonkers - but I haven't had any problems with it yet. I wonder if something shifted out of alignment ever so slightly, causing it not to engage the soft close feature?

That reminds me of a Larry the Cable Guy joke. He said he lost his virginity in the back seat of his father's car.

He said his father could barely keep his eyes on the road!

That angry young lady wouldn't be riding in my LS again! You probably know Lexus is expensive when it comes to repairs.

When i got my 07 n one of the drivers side doors soft close. The passenger side all do. When i took it to the dealership for a check in i asked about the doors. The cost to replace both closers was about 2k.

Well so much for that.


Quick Reply: no soft close !!!!
