You've got several (just look at the bottom list of the forums - Moderators : encore888, Craig B, mann777, Koz plus over a dozen senior mods that look across the entire community.
Most importantly though (with 170,000 members and <100 volunteer moderators) we reply on members to push the report a post button
when there is something that warrants review.
Let's get this thread back on topic please

I've cleaned up this thread and edited the title. Guys, keep this thread polite and mature or do not post.
There is an ignore feature on CL, use it if you have a constant problem with another member https://www.clublexus.com/forums/pro...?do=ignorelist
I'll suggest the OP search the forum for keywords 'common problem' and 'common issue' and you'll get a lot of threads with similar content, even if their goal is for a new buyer seeking information vs an organized list effort (thanks).

This may have been covered already, but as an original owner of a 2005 I can share my experiences which have popped up on here with other owners on more than one occassion.
1) Warped rotors - a systemic problem due to brakes being undersized
2) Siezed calpiers - replaced both front calipers
3) Leaking radiator - bottom corner driver side commonly develops a leak - I replaced my radiator with a Koyorad

there's a thread about this particular issue which i happened to have 2 days ago...
anyway, i been on this forum for five days now, before that i have never heard of this forum, never owned a lexus, and already i have encountered these common issues that i had to search about on the forum... seems like some seasoned veterans out there are not interested in sharing info here...

I think many don't bother posting the small stuff on here
A few more that I think could be classed as common are:
Front Caliper Failure
Premature Rear Shock Failure
Just my opinion.

08 GX 45K---
1. Alternator whirring noise and Strong electrical smell with Batt light on!!
2. ABS ECM module bad, made Hydralic brake booster run every 5 seconds(killed it), then I lost brakes--Replace Entire Master cylinder with those 2 components attached (cheaper that way)
3. Warped rotors as normal lol
