Power Train Problems of Lexus LS

I brought my car to kendall Lexus for repairs as well as a recall on the starter solenoid. They charged me about $1,200 for these repairs, including the installation of a new starter. Unfortunately, the newly installed starter failed within a month of its replacement, causing significant inconvenience and safety concerns. Upon discovering the issue, I immediately contacted kendall Lexus to report the problem. They agreed to have the car towed back to their dealership for further inspection and resolution. However, instead of taking responsibility for the faulty part they had installed, they had someone from Toyota contact me, stating that they wouldn’t address the problem due to my car’s age and referencing “loose wires” as the potential cause despite the fact that they were the last ones under the hood and had no problem with wiring or the age of the vehicle until they were asked to repair a faulty part they installed. I was shocked by this response, as my vehicle was in good running condition when I initially brought it to kendall Lexus. It is evident that the dealership is unwilling to rectify their mistake and provide the necessary repairs. Furthermore, their customer service has severely deteriorated since I made the initial payment. Despite numerous attempts to contact kendall Lexus and seek clarification on their refusal to honor their warranty on the faulty part, I have received no response. This lack of communication is not only frustrating but raises doubts about their commitment to customer satisfaction and fair business practices. I believe that I deserve a fair resolution to this matter, which includes rectifying the defective starter and providing the necessary repairs without additional charges. Moreover, kendall Lexus must improve.

They asked me to start using premium gas form the same station. Nothing changed and 3mo latter I moved to indianapolis and had my Lexus serviced at tom wood Lexus of indianapolis. I asked them to do a full diagnostic for repairing the now dangerously low acceleration. Tom wood changed and checked fuel filter fuel lines fuel injectors air intake mass airflow air filter reflashed ecm cost me 2 separate visits, 10+ days in a loaner vehicle and $800+ and the issue behind what was causing the low acceleration was never found. So I filed my first complaint case with Lexus corporate and they denied my claim in that it was no longer under their powertrain warranty. Despite my effort to simply request and state that I purchased my Lexus at a Lexus dealer and it has been maintained by a Lexus dealer. I ought to be able to rely on Lexus (especially an Ls on of their high end designs) to be of reasonable quality, fit for safe use as an automobile. The liability for defects of the engineering of the internal mechanics and any future wrecks or injuries caused by the engineering defect is Lexus� liability. Just trying to have a safe vehicle for my family. Well that got me nowhere with Lexus. Now my job has me lining in louisiana and I tried a second time and took my Ls460 to price leblanc Lexus of baton rouge. Their service team was fantastic and their tech let me know that this is a known issue with Lexus and that I'd need to replace all cylinder heads and values. Total cost being $13-15k. That is more than the value of the vehicle. I have filed a second complaint and repair request with Lexus corporate and am being told the same line as before. Not their problem.

After an oil change, using fully synthetic oil per sterling mccall Lexus of houston, the Lexus Ls460 shows hesitation in acceleration. At local road and at speed of 15 mph, I tried to accelerate and pushed gas pedal to floor, the engine rpm reached more than 5000 but the car did not accelerate as expected. While in theory the engine power reaches peak of 386 horse power at 4200 rpm. In one word, the acceleration is not linear to the push on gas pedal at all. Feels like the engine power does not corresponds to the gas pedal travel distance, as it should. And in critical situations, this failure to accelerate as it should could cause problem or accidents. A google search shows that many other owners have the same experience. Maybe Lexus should look into this and help fix the problem. Thanks,.
