Default Warranty expires soon

Factory Warranty on my 2015 GS F Sport RWD will expire soon in December 2018.
I have only about 25K miles so far.
Car is flawless other than some minor squeaks and rattles that the dealer won't fix because my car have an aftermarket exhaust...don't bother me too much.

Question is..is there anything else I should have the dealer look at before my warranty runs out.
I know about the Front brakes TSB. But I don't think my brakes are making any clicking noise.
I do have minor brake squealing when first starting the car in the mornings. After it warms up, it's quiet.
So anythings else I should have dealer look at?

Have them check suspension components as folks have had things fail earlier than anticipated. The only other thing I can think of is a health check on your battery and scrutinize any areas of the leather seats to check for fading/discoloring.

Where can we find out when exactly warranty expired ? I have 2015 too and my local deal told me my warranty won't expire until late 2019.

will the extend warranty worth it? Anyone help with the quote? Thanks.

You can call your local dealer and give them your VIN. I believe warranty start when the car was first put into service.
Previous owner of my car bought the car in December 2014...so 48 months from that in-service date is December 2018 for me.
I don't think extend warranty is worth it on our cars...it's too damn reliable! LOL

Sign up on Lexus Drivers website (https://drivers.lexus.com/lexusdrivers/) look at the service history on your car and see the first time the car was registered/in-service date. This will be the start date of the warranty which will end 4yrs from that date.

I personally wouldn't get an extended warranty but that decision is entirely up to you. Warranty extension prices for the Platinum coverage typically range from $1200 - $3600 for an additional 1-6yrs beyond the bumper to bumper warranty, up to 125k miles.

I want to bump this thread to see if anyone else might chime in. I am in the exact same boat at the OP, my factory warranty expires soon. What can/should I have them look for on my '15 GS 350 F-Sport?

check shocks for leaks and battery health. those are the things my gs experiencing right now. mines have leaking shocks might change it when its bad. my battery health is low after 2-2.5yrs.

I just bought extended warranty for my 2014 GS 350 from Troy Dietrich for 8yrs/100K miles. I had no issues with buying warranty from him. Nice person to work with. It was my wife who really wanted to buy the warranty as we had some surprises with our other (non Lexus) car. Below is his contact information if interested. ( I don't work for him or for Toyota or Lexus just a customer).

My Battery died just one week before bumper to bumper Warranty expired. Lexus was nice to replace with new Battery. There is one TSB though for 2013/2104 Lexus if you want to look for it (Attached).
