Regarding the Keyfob issue. I can stand next to the car, it wont do the automatic door opening...I press the keyfob(unlock...lock...trunk) and it wont respond in anyway. The funny part is, the lil red light on the keyfob blinks. After hitting the keyfob what seems like at least 50 to 100 times, it eventually works. It has happened on BOTH keyfobs, so I know its not just one key not working.
At this point, I've lost patience to take it to another dealer and have them look at it. I will see how Lexus responds and let the lemon law attorney do his thing if it comes to that.
Im from Bloomfield Hills, Mi, and I have a 2013 GS350 F-Sport since March 2012 with no problems right now. I did have some issues in the beginning such as alignment (left pull) which still occurs but less obvious on the highways, subframe clunk noise from loose bolts which were fixed, rear trunk TSB, roof panel pop noise fixed, aluminum molding replaced due to dents.
My dealer has pretty much fixed everything without hesitation and this is Meade Lexus of Soutfhfield with service advisor Don Allen. The chief mechanic Dale is very thorough and he knows the cars well and will do test drive with you in person so that you can verify what you are experiencing. Also use a demo GS to compare to make it easier for Dale to compare.
Wow it sounds like you have a lot of problems with your car. I would stay on top of Lexus and insist that they either fix your car or replace it or give your money back. This is totally not your fault you're not being picky. Lexus it as a manufacture are really good that's why I'm on my third Lexus. Once again stay on top of it don't let them slide.
My radio shuts off fairly frequently when playing music through the iPod. I've just learned to live with it. I've been told it is due to the loading of album art. I'm assuming no album art is loaded through a USB so it seems to be a bug in the system.
