I have a 2007 lexus is 250. i've had it for 7 years now and love everything about it. but about 2-3 years ago, the vinyl interior starting getting sticky. it's gotten worse that if you touch it the color comes off on your fingers. i have a big shiny area on the dashboard which reflects on the front windshield and makes visibility difficult. i know there's others here in south florida with the same issue, that have gone to lexus and have been told they have to pay to replace it, that it's not covered. *js
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 lexus is250. the contact stated that the passenger side headlight would flicker on and off before finally failing altogether. the vehicle was taken to the dealer who performed a diagnostic that located the failure at the bulb. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 51,000 and the current mileage was 54,000. the vin was not available.
The engine upon cold start up makes a rattling noise and is very loud. lexus in september recalled the lexus is 350 for the same reason and they said the car was unsafe to drive. however, i called lexus customer satisfaction and they diagnosed it as the same issue at my dealership, but would not correct the problem. also, back in march the vehicle smelt like raw gasoline, so i took it to the dealer and it was leaking gas in the engine compartment. the dealer told me due to the gas vapor, which is extremely flammable that the car could have exploded. however, lexus would not cover this safety issue under warranty either. this vehicle has been a death trap from day one. it has also been recalled for the faulty gas pedal, brakes working improperly, other fuel line issues other than i mentioned, and even the windshield wipers. *tr
Lexus is 250 manual transmission has so much vibration in rear view mirror, makes it nearly impossible to view out of at night. lexus has attempted to fix this issue from the 2nd month i owned the vehicle and it still vibrates. apparently lexus had some sort of kit to reduce the vibration for is 250's that had excessive vibration in the mirror, however that did not relieve the vibration at all. all other lexus loaner vehicles i have borrowed do not have this issue. i filed a report with " national dispute settlement ", since the meeting was during the day, the investigators could not see the excessive vibration that occurred while driving the vehicle at night and basically said the vibration was normal and due to road to conditions. *tr
