Hi teemunz,
I hope I am that lucky, I'm about 9 days out of warranty. I'm a second owner of the vehicle, without any extended warranties bought at the time. I've got approx. 68K on the car. Am I out of luck? Not sure how TSB's are handled, are they owner or dealer responsibility in terms of money?
They replaced the padding between the carpet and the car? Any smells? I'm getting a slight damp/moldy/mildew smell when first getting into the car, but goes away after driving a while.
Thanks for any info.
Also, did you print or bring any TSB documents into the dealer? I couldn't find anything online to print out. Got any additional info for me, in case my service advisor plays stupid?

You might want to bring it to your local dealer anyway and inform them is this known issue. Sorry man I'm really not sure how these things work with 2nd owners and stuff.

I had the same problem. Theres a white canister behind the nav screen that releases or holds water for the a/c. I forget what the tech term is but thats what it basically does. Anyway mine was in the shop 4 times before the fig out what it was. I would check there. My front and back floor mats would be soak and wet but only when the a/c was ran high or for a long period of time. Park the car turn the a/c on and let it run. After 5 or 10 mins if you dont see a puddle underneath the car then youve found your problem.

Just got back from the dealer.
No luck, if you're out of warranty they won't pick up the tab. Its the customers responsibility out of pocket at that point.
This is what I don't understand regarding TSB's.
- I had the dashboard creak, and the rear view mirror motor all done in March of this year. I was already not under warranty. In fact, when I bought the car I was out of warranty. They replaced and performed all those items at No charge.
Why is this one different? The story the advisor told me was that because certain parts of the car are covered under a TSB but only up to a certain mileage. And this one is not covered because I have approx. 63600 miles.
Is this true? I've never understood TSB's?
Any of the Lexus tech's on here help out? I was given a price of $110 an hour to diagnose the problem. And I wouldn't even know how long or how much it would be to fix. So I pulled the car back out.
Any help?
Thanks gang!
