My car has 51000 miles on it and I'm told my alternator should be replaced. I took my car for one things and the dealership found 4 different Issues which 2 of the Issues I am aware of. Grant you all the parts in my car are the original parts. I service my car according to Lexus 25,000 - 75,000 miles services. How can I well kept and seldom drive vehicles have an alternator Issue? on February 7, 2003, there was complaints of the (bulletin#:t10001308) cd becoming jammed in cd changer. Improvements were made to the Is 300 cd changer mechanism but I wasn't notified. I took my car to westside Lexus regarding an ongoing dashboard melting situation and cd player Issue. Lexus finally agreed to replaced dashboard after 3 years and I am grateful but the cd changer jams now. If I haven't done my research I wouldn't know there was initial complaints regarding the cd changer. Over the month-to-month weird cd sound of tumbling then playing it progressively gotten worse. My 5- disc cd player will not play cds at all and sound Is cd tumbling around in the player. Westside Lexus stated I needed to replace the cd player at $500. 00 and I should not have the Issue at all. I should have been notified as soon as the Issue was addressed. I shouldn't have to pay $500. 00 for a 2003 Issue.
