Something embarressing
Yesturday while I was driving home my front right wheel started to make some sort of metal grinding noise. It got so loud that I was afraid of my life thinking the wheel might fall off. So I pull over to the side and check it out, everything looks fine so I got back in and started driving again. Then I had to pull over again because the noise kept getting louder and louder.
Then I called Lexus RSA and got a flat bed to tow it to Longo, 3 hours later tow truck showed up and off we go. It was pretty embaressing standing by the side of the road with a broken down 2001 Lexus.
Some guy in his broken beater was probably laughing and having a good time at this sight... Once arrived at dealer they found out the sway bar was loose and re-torque it with new bolts and I am out of there within 30 mins. Good service from Lexus but bad product.
I just wish Lexus spend their R&D dollars more wisely, instead of "refreshing" the grill and taillamp every 2 years they should spend the time to fix the rattles and even make sure the suspension won't fall apart. Hell even a REAL suspension would do instead of the current "universal suspension".
