2 cars got me stranded on the side of the road, 95 Maxima and 06 Civic. And 2 cars got me stranded on my driveway, 15 Cayenne with alternator and 2010 IS350 with waterpump. Maxima and Cayenne were covered under warranty.

 

Front parking sensor(s) crapped out today. will take a look later. If anyone dealt with this, let me know if bumper needs to be removed or perhaps there is other access to them?

 

If it's one of the corner sensors, you can reach them by pulling back the front side of the wheel well cover. Have to remove 2 or 3 clips. Same way you would reach or replace the fog light bulbs if you have them. If you have Popeye forearms it might be tough, LOL. I've done this myself, but I'm not sure about the 2 middle sensors. You may need to remove the bumper for them.

 

Thanks. Will take a look. Not sure which one is broken, I dont have scan tool for Toyota yet

 

The Audi, thats not a Lemon, Its LIME!!!! Nice car! Interesting color. My wife has a 2018 B9 Allroad premium Plus.
We bought it used after our B8 was totaled (she ok) with only 68k miles it.
The B9 now ours 2 years and sits with 53k on odo. Been just fine.

Im sure your disappointed given Lexus stellar reputation. Hope it goes smooth from here on out.
Only complaint about the Audi was the fit and finish, and feel was not as solid in contrast to the GS.
Wife loves her Audi's, her third "Avant"..........

 

Color is one of the reasons why I decided to get. Lots of people compliment the color, haven't had that much attention since 2002 M3 that I bought in 05.
Been unlucky with this one too someone smashed my side mirror already.....I almost cried lol. The good thing is that I get carbon fiber mirrors for free now

 

For some reason you have a history with issues following you around...

 

That is correct. Then I think about all other issues in the world and realize that mine are nothing.....

Parking sensors fixed themselves the next day by the way...Mirror will get fixed while I am vacation.

 

Park sensors are very unreliable on the Lexus GS when the on/off button is cut Off by the owner.

 

Bought mine at 89k miles in June 2020. At 112k now. Outside of maintenance items, the only thing I've had to truly "repair" is the sunroof gasket seal for like $60. There was a steering wheel chirp that was covered by the dealership when I bought the car.

Overall a very low drama and easy Toyota ownership experience. Sounds like you got a lemon sadly.

 

That's 23k miles of ownership......

That would be 4 lemons in a row and pretty much all others that are under TSB.
You guys in here should watch car care nut on youtube (Toyota tech). He talks about how LS can be a nightmare to own, how Toyota engine die due to recommended maintenance bs, and how crappy Toyota waterpumps are (or used to be)

Glad I watched him. Didn't know alot of stuff he talks about that applies to all manufacturers. Will definitely follow his advices from now on

 

Unlucky, yes. Lemon, obviously not. TSB issues automatically rule out lemon ))

 

It's because of him that I change oil at 5k, and plan to change transmission oil at 60k. Good channel.

 

He services my 2 Lexus's, very knowledgable guy and he's a certified Toyota Master Tech. too. I never have to worry about him screwing up my cars like the dealers do.

 

So I just 200K on my 2103 Luxury model. I've had my first rattle today, but other than routine maintenance the only issues I have had was an annoying tick coming from the radio. The radio was replaced under warranty. My sensors on the front bumper went out. I had them all replaced at significant expense. Also the cruise control stalk broke. Like physically broke, not that it stopped working. I still have the original shocks.
