Turning rotors under warranty?
I have 24K on my '04. Called dealer and was told there are no service recalls and that turning them would cost me $235 and a front-end brake job might be required for an estimated $281 service. I am sitting in the Toyota dealerhsip as I write this and they are looking at them to see if they need to be turned. Looks like $135 will be my cost. Normally, wear parts (like brakes and rotors) aren't covered as a warranty item. Is this something different with Lexus. Am I about to waste $135 when I could have gotten this for free?

Replacement of brake pads under warranty? Sounds like your saying that Lexus will replace the pads under warranty. If so, that's great and something I did not expect. I have had other cars in warranty and had pads replaced (45K miles) and in each prior case, there was no "warranty" issue as 40-50K miles is an acceptable expectation of durability.

I also had a slow leak (refill air once a week) in my right rear tire that Lexus wasn't able to track down. Toyota found a small nail and patched it for me. Grand total... $10.70. I can honestly say that is the cheapest I've EVER gotten away from a service center from before.

Glad you got your problem somewhat solved. Update us on what your Lexus dealer will say and do.
