Default Yes! Valley plate leak...

...while I am still under my extended warranty! Phew!

Been slowly losing coolant for awhile. Had them check previously and they said no. This time the level was low after they did the fan bolt recall and I had no heat. They then bled and filled it and this last time when it was low I took a pic for them. So glad this happened while under warranty and I shouldn’t have to deal with this later on. One more year of warranty to go...

2011 with 58k miles. I asked them to take some pictures of the leakage. Hopefully it will be done tomorrow or Saturday at the latest.

I think mine was done years ago according to service records and mine is a 13 with 30k currently. Nobody is totally safe, but they don’t all do it. The records said they resealed it, whatever that means.

She’s alll ready to be picked up tomorrow. There were massive storms here today with rumors of hail, so I asked Lexus to please store her inside tonight and they did so. Looking forward to getting rid of my IS300t loaner. Every time I press that start button and can’t tell if the car is on or not I get depressed...LOL!
