2008 Lexus is250 AWD, 100k miles had the carbon build up zla campaign done last month ... Now on to the crazy ****!!!



Car vibrates in steering wheel when I come to a stop with my headlights on ... I turn my headlights off vibration goes away, spent a month straight trying to track down what's going on. And here it goes.... I've replaced the ALTanator 6 times, yes that's right 6 times every single one the voltage regulator burns up ! I have also replaced the battery, and ground cable, the car DOES NOT die, no warning lights and has never not started , I can not figure out for the life of me why this is happening, if you provide help that's results in fixing the issue I will PayPal you 200$!!!

Also ! If I turn the hazards on the car pulsates like it is mis firing or has cams!

When you are at idle with the headlights on the car vibrates ?

If so there's probably a short in the wiring of the headlights. If they removed the whole engine for the recall, they probably damaged a wire while doing so. Try to locate the problematic light. Does it do it when you use one turn signal only ? If not, try unplugging one complete headlight and see if it's still doing it.

If you can't figure it out call the dealer that did the recall.

I'd agree with re-visiting the dealership if this issue started re-occurring immediately after the carbon recall was performed. Sounds like they did something to your wiring harness.

Well just dropped it back off at Lexus ... I have to pay 131.80 a hour till they find out what's going on ... Let's just say I'm not happy and I will REFUSE to pay if it's a wiring problem that was caused from there previous work .... I just can't figure out how and WHY the voltage reg is failing but no warning lights or dead battery????
