Default Real intermitant problems

I have had cars with problems that occur once a week, but the LB can go months without a reoccurrence. My AC stops blowing cold requiring me to restart the car several times, or wait until the next day, then it is fine for three months. My gps touch screen stops working one day every few months.

Of course Lexus tells me, works fine now, so no repair necessary. Very frustrating driving around in 100 degrees plus with no AC.

Anyone have a suggestion of what to do before the warranty runs out.

Have you thought of getting a car electronic person to look at your car rather than the main dealer...

Sounds like a voltage issue...

Most garages employee them to come in if they can not find a problem

I would call lexus corp. Since you have an issue that the dealer cant find I would start by documenting this with lexus corp. Make sure you get it into your file so in the event they are able to diaganose problem after warranty expires you will have a leg to stand on.

It could be that your servo motors that control your A/C and Heat are about to go bad.
