What's wrong with your LS?
Here's all my problems...
-Gas mileage has dropped about 1.5 MPG from about 2 months ago. Its getting about 16 MPG now.
-All rotors, warped enough to where you can see the bends in them.
-Loss of power and gas mileage. (0-60 time is like 9+ seconds now) and more engine noise
-A/C fans (2 black fans) don't come on.
-Transmission slipping
-Broken drivers side seat adjustor
-Burnt out 'high, AC, defrost/leg' LED buttons, and MPH, RPM green text guage LEDs. (not actual white numbers and arms)
-Seats have no cushion, it's like sitting on a brick.
-Worn timing belt (to be replaced with tax return)
-Small dings, chips, and dents in body. + misc interior rattles
-ALOT of wind noise from passenger side window at 45MPH+
Eh, old cars.

Hmm.....My 93 LS also have some problems:
1. Engine Mount & Trans. Mount need to be replace($1500 all
together)
2. Rattles.......Maybe the loud bass have something to do with it.
3. When turn off the A/C, RPM drop 500 and the engine start to
shake and stall.
I think that's about it.

LS
1992 LS400 burgandy/ivory, full spec, 85k miles.
one oxygen sensor
oil/filter changes, mobil 1
air filter changes.
top off anti-freeze
New tires twice
F/R brake pads, turned front rotors
Back to Lexus, any shop, only once.
Otherwise everything factory original.
Runs perfect but just as with all Lexii, has original factory climate control design flaw.

0-60 is about 9+ seconds
LCD screen that displays time and temperature is all messed up (all dark)
Front headlights are not even (one is higher than the other)
Some dents on the side from college parking lot
Ripped leather front passenger seat
Nothing else major...all minor stuff

Where do I begin?
- Stripped interior. Ima sounddeadening and installing my system.
- Power steeringalmost never works. Got all the parts, have no time to talk to my mechanic.
- One of the valves is knocking
- No air conditioning...no time to take it to mechanic.
- Bodykit needs a few screws...very solid overall though.
- When done this thing gets repainted red

I have a 93LS400 with 81,500 miles.
1. Suspension creaks while driving slowly over uneven pavement.
2. Passenger side seat belt does not retract unless I push
the release button.
3. Rear light out indicator and dome light out indictator go on
and off a once or twice a week, but they both work fine.
that's it.

It sounds like the springs are rusty or something.

Back left spring gave...so the car looks like it's limping..
LOL
I asked mechanic to check it twice...he said nothing wrong with the housing, just the springs compressed a bit...

The creaking over bumps is not caused by wornout shocks, your front Strut Bar bushings are worn. I had mine lubed and now everything is fine. eventually i will just replace them but you cannot replace just the bushings, you have to buy a new strut bar assembly.

hear are all my problems I just took some from the Ivangundy's message, I'm going on 102,000 miles already.
-Loss of power and gas mileage. (0-60 time is like 9+ seconds now) and more engine noise
-Transmission slipping
-Burnt out 'high, AC, defrost/leg' LED buttons, and MPH, RPM green text guage LEDs. (not actual white numbers and arms)
-Seats have no cushion, it's like sitting on a brick.
-ALOT of wind noise from passenger side window at 45MPH+
as for the factory stereo, I changed it
also my suspension is not what it used to be
it's weird because different people take different types of care for their car but at the end they end up the same........
