3gs Water Pump Failure Thread
Well with all the recent activity figured a thread that everyone shared more information can help other members and possible strength for Lexus to make sure the issues are resolved especially if this is with one given motor these issues are happening.
I would think starting off with what model GS you had a failure or premature wear. Also if your the original owner, followed all service schedules flushing coolant, or if you purchased as a CPO. These we know would have to meet service requirements. Anything else others can think to add that would be helpful.
I would HIGHLY suggest others to start having these checked to be safe.

Oh.. Yes, water pump failure...
My car, 07 GS350. Water pump failure at 73,277 miles. Mine failed at highway speeds and I wasn't aware of overheating or coolant loss until the engine apparently overheated (not indicated on temp gauge) and failed.
Lexus ExtraCare denied the claim. Lexus, after several weeks, offered to cover over $13,000 in parts, I had to pay $3,750 in labor. Lost use of car for 6 weeks.

At my last service, dealer reported the water pump was leaking. Had it replaced under the extended warranty. 2008 gs 460. 75000 miles. I was surprised about what I think is premature failure.

I replaced a water pump on my other lexus, and it was only a little over $1000.
How'd you get such a large bill?
