I brought my Lexus to my highly competent Toyota dealer today for the
80k service and repair of the parking brake problem from a previous
post. The gentleman who serviced the vehicle said the parking brake
cable was hanging up and he lubricated it. He said everything else was

Hi, I recently got a card from Lexus saying there is a new NAV DVD
available. The version is 8.1. I have a 2002 ES300 and a 2006 LS430,
both with NAVs.
Is it just a simple matter of purchasing the DVD disks from Lexus and

I suspect that other Lexus owners also got an email from Lexus announcing
the new HS 250h, the first Lexus available only as a hybrid.  For those who
didn't get the email, here's the Lexus website link about the HS 250h.

I have a 2002 ES300. When I repeatedly press down on the front of the
car so that it bumps up and down, I hear a noise that appears to come
from the suspension. It does not happen when I press down at the rear
of the car.

Hi all:  I have an 03 GS 300 with about 65k miles.  I noticed the
instrument panel lights are only about half as bright as they were a
few days ago.  The dimmer control knob still works and gives me a
range from no lights to about half as bright as before.  It seems that

I have an RX300  AWD with 80,000 miles. Recently, about 1/5 of the
time when I shift into then accelerate, I hear a "Whining" sound from
the rear, and the RX moves slowly and feels like it is dragging. To
me, it feels like the rear brakes aren't releasing fully. If I shift

Does anyone else have problems with the ES330 causing tires to cup?? I have
a 2005
model year, and have now ruined the 2nd set of tires with a cupping
problem.. Vehicle

Can we forget the BMW M3 for a moment? If you analyze the IS-F from a evo-lutionary perspective, the highly-horsed Lexus four-door is a loser. Looks, handling, pedigree, charisma, horsepower-- the IS-F is the Bimmer's bitch. Instead, imagine approaching the IS-F as I did, after ...

I am getting a fluttering sound from the rear speaker of my 2002
ES300. Anyone has instruction on how to replace either the rear
speaker or the subwoofer? I heard the rear seats have to come off.
Thanks

I have a 2003 RX300.  The electric driver seatback adjustment will not
move the seatback forward; I hear a rapid clicking as if a gear is
stripped or broken.  I can't figure out how to remove the plastic
cover to see what's going on.  Or is there a manual override so I can

I have an 05 ES 330 32k miles due for service. Maintenance schedule calls
for brake fluid change but no mention of transmission service until 60k
miles (aside from checking it). I do find this a bit odd.  I do plan on
requesting the transmission service given the lousy nature of ...

I've just had a £197 shock by having to have two new front tyres. As
the car has barely 10000 miles on the clock couldn't believe it. Is
this normal for a Lexus? Or am I a 66 yr old boy racer burning rubber
at every opportunity? I've had the car from new and it has suffered

I live in Austin and own a 2001 LS 430 that I bought last year. For
the most part, the car has run beautifully; credit to the gentleman
that owned it before me.
I took the car in for a state inspection the other day and it failed
