Stuff happens. Just know unlike most companies, Lexus won't blame you and they will stand behind the product. And 2GS had TSBs too. Hell all cars do. Its just Lexus has the least amount, not a zero amount.

Mine's a 430, that wouldn't have made a difference.

Yes, for a first model year, hell for any car, I have had zero problems with the GS (now on it's way to 5k) with the exception of this dome light issue.

Lexus owners take many things for granted over time because we're used to a different level of quality. But to those who have been Lexus only customers for sometime (myself) we would be the worst BMW or MB customers having a lot to complain about.

and it took a few weeks to get the part from Japan. The fixture needed a redesign probably. The new replacements haven't been a problem so I hope it's fixed. These are teething type issues and I remember similar adjustments on the 2nd Generation when it came out. That was just so long ago....1998....Something Wicked this way comes...Eartha Kitt doing Shakespeare.

Can I get the TSB number on that? It would really be helpful. Most times dealers are unable to look at the problem and quickly know it's something Lexus acknowledges and here's the part/way to fix it.

i am just about at 5k miles and actually just drove thirty minutes on friday for my regular maintenance. wish it would've happened then. oh well, my dealer is great and i know they will fix. i will have them fix both the light and replace my headrests which are coming seperated from their plastic backing from time to time.

Most dealers will locate it easily if you bring it in to service, but for those dealers you're not too certain of, it's best to give them this TSB FIRST. Before they get glue all over your headliner.

Here you go..

After one year and 16k mile my dome light also dropped down. Any one else having this problem?

There is a Lexus technical service bulletin for this. Ask your dealer.

I'm going to do that today, thanks!

looknow12, thanks for posting the TSB. Although I haven't had a problem with my GS's rear dome light, it's good to know Lexus has addressed it. Actually, I'm very surprised my light has fallen off. My GS is early production, and my daughter presses the light buttons all the time.

I just called my service advisor, told him my problem, gave him the TSB number. He said he would get it ordered and the dome light assembly would probably be in the first of next week. He also ordered me a couple of key fob gloves. Is this good service or what?

Thanks looknow, for the TSB information!
