Picked up the car last night.. 4 Bad Servos #1,2,4 & 6, ( total of 6 servos) had my car been out of warranty this would have cost me ~$1800. The service advisor should me the bill 7hrs or Labor $938 and the 4 servos @ $204 each.. I asked about a recall and he stated there is none at this time. Hopefully if the other 2 do fail its before my warranty runs out.
Sounds like a defect and should be taken care by Lexus.
Did the dealer negotiate on price?
I'm not feeling good after buying a Lexus with so expensive repairs.

You're looking at dealer prices so of course they will be inflated. Once the warranty expires, go to an indy shop and you'll see more reasonable repair bills.
I have a 2015 gs350 rwd and had the same issue about a year ago and it went away or was fixed on its own. Today, the same happened to my car where the passenger side air was warm and not actual AC cold air like the drivers side. Toggled with the system between various settings to fix it but nothing. Just now, I went out in my car and looks like this is back to normal now. I'm thinking if I go to the dealership they may say no issue found. I need to go back and recheck this. It's starting to cool down in LA so will be using the hearer more during nights so possibly may come across this again..
I had the same issue on my 2016 gs350 F sport with 27k miles on it. Dealership replace 3 servo.
Question: I'm using a similar gauge, mine reads just under 60 with the setting of low and 77 degrees outside. Is this okay?
That temp seems high, with an outside temp of 77, I would expect the AC to be blowing 25-30 degrees cooler, so closer to 47-50 degrees. What year do you have?

If you are talking about measuring the temperature at the upper dash outlet vents to see if your A/C system is operating properly - with ambient temperatures in the 70s to 80s the upper dash outlet vent temperature should be about 35 to 50 degrees. The lower the ambient temperature and humidity level the closer it should be to 35 degrees, and the higher the ambient temperature and humidity level the closer it will likely be to 50 degrees. That said, if your ambient temperature was 77 degrees and I'm guessing your humidity was probably around 50%, your upper dash outlet vent temperature should have been around 38-42 degrees.

Measured 3 other vehicles ranging in year makes and models and they all hovered +- 60
Ford truck, cadillac

60 degrees is definitely way too high...even though three other vehicles gave similar readings. Check your home supply outlets to see what your home A/C provides. It should be 15-20 degrees lower than your return (inside) temperature. Your vehicle's A/C system is much more robust in order to handle vehicle interior temperatures of 130 degrees or higher in direct sun for quick cool downs. 35-45 degrees is the typical range you want to see from a vehicle's upper dash vents (as shown by the Mac Tools automotive A/C vent gauge's green indicator in the image below). This should be the case with any vehicle from a Peterbilt 18-wheeler cab to Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow to a Mini-Cooper.

is that 55ish temp? so yours is slightly high also. needs to be in the green. got it!

Geez! No, that's not mine! My A/C is so cold it will make your nipples hard enough to cut glass!
The image I posted is an image of a Mac Tools A/C temperature gauge that I picked off Google search. Don't pay any attention to the 55 degrees the gauge is reading because you don't know if the gauge was just inserted into the vent 3 seconds before the picture was taken, or if the vehicle has A/C problems like yours has a problem.
