My parents started complaining of a heavy clanking noise at above 70mph on their LS after it had the valve springs replaced. I took the car for a test drive and could not recreate the sound, but when my uncle took the car out yesterday he said it sounded pretty bad. Both of my parents noticed this right after we had the tsb done...we are taking it back asap...anybody else experience this?

 

No, I haven't had any problems since the repair...

 

shouldn't be any noise..take it back.

 

Took mine in to Lexus of West Kendall this morning for the recall........will let you know in a few days how it went with the recall and the few other things I requested done.

 

I had to take mine back after the tsb was done, some spring was left loose, or not snug and dropped somewhere, its knocked pretty loud. Took it back, they "re-did" the tsb at a different dealer, and it seems to work fine now. I hope it holds up.

 

^guj I am taking it to another dealer asap...Lexus of North Miami never ceases to fail so I will have to trek up to JM...

 

I just picked mine up this afternoon and the car feels fine. I even punched it on the freeway and she pulls like a train. Man, leave this car to go to red line in 3rd gear and about 5000 rpm in 4th and WOW!!!! You are flying. I love the open and empty freeways here

 

I had the same problem after the VSR and brought it back and was told " the recall parts were defective and we have to replace the left lifter that's bleeding."

Not sure of the result as I purchased the LS Sport while repairs we're completed, and that vehicle was sold.

 

Well, picked up my car this morning. Runs like a champ. I also had the glove compartment lid replaced.
