Anyone ever have to replace their fuel pump. Lexus wants 1500 to fix the fuel pump... im just about done with this ****.. i want a 350

 

You out of power-train warranty I take it? (because fuel pump is covered otherwise)

Looks like the part alone is around $900 from Sewell-
2310039618
PUMP ASSEMBLY, FUEL
$896.75

 

I had mine replaced before my warranty was up. I bought the car the Sunday and brought it to the dealer the Monday for an oil change and they told me they are going to change it....it was a re-call. At the time i had 44,000 miles.

 

Any TSB or recall info on this? Havent seen or kept up with anything like this on the is250. Wondering if my 2009 250 will run into this issue...

 

Only recall I'm aware of that's fuel related for the 06-08 ISxxx would be the fuel pressure sensor, some sensors weren't properly tightened and could leak, so they would just replace the seal and re tighten it.
Haven't heard of anything for the fuel pump, only aware of those going out from people running their tank down too low on a regular basis, think it causes it to overheat.

 

It's not part of the sensor recall but if it's faulty and he's still has powertrain warranty it will be covered.

 

prob out of warranty that's why dealer charging the whole amount for the replacement,that's gonna leave a dent on your pocket but come to think if you gonna get another car like used 350,your chances that might encounter problem is high unless you have another warranty to cover most of your problem.

 

yeah im just frustrated.. yes im out of power train warranty by 3k miles(07/72,969). I maintain my car very well. This shouldnt be happening... but stuff happens i guess someones pump needs to go bad.. hopefully corporate will help me out.

 

I called corporate Lexus and they told me this part is covered under the 4/50K Warranty and not the power train warranty. Im waiting for the call back hopefully they will help me out.

 

If you a more cost effective option you could always go for an aftermarket pup and I can recomend a mechanic that would go to your place to do it for you.

Also I don't see how the fuel pump would not be covered under the powertrain warranty. If your fuel pup does not work the "powertrain" won't power anything.

Under powertrain warranty, fuel pump is listed

edit: just realized your mileage...

 

heh, I'd ask for someone who actually knows WTF they';re talking about then.

As heyarms points out-

(bold added)

since you're less than 3k past that I'd expect them to perhaps offer to at least split it or something

 

Thanks heyarms and Kurtz im calling corporate again cant believe they gave me false info. I even stated that i thought she was incorrect about it not being covered under the powertrain warranty she put me on hold and then confirmed that it was only covered up the 4/50K but i will call back and tell them this info and point them to this link. Thanks again.

 

Hopefully Lexus corporate helps you out since you're only 3k outside of the warranty. They might just pick up the bill or go 50/50 on it with you.

 

There goes the problem, try talking to a HE. LoL jk. but seriously talk to somebody else who's more knowledgeable about the issue. Good luck brova.
