I dropped my GS350 off last Thursday. I was told it would be ready this Thursday ;\ Lol I do not like driving the ES350 loaner. Can't wait till I get the GS back XD

And as for the gift card, I haven't received any info on it ;\ And I believe I have the 100k warranty as well.

I never got no GC! Time to snoop around.

I should get a GC for the engine crank noise. 3 times now. Going in next week to fix it AGAIN.

Has anyone had trouble activating the $500 gift card? I can't get through to anyone on the phone and the website keeps saying I have entered the wrong information and does not let me activate it. It's frustrating.

I had the same problem on my 1st GC but I just called them and they re-activated it and worked right away. I was on the phone with them 2hrs ago activating my 2nd GC and didn't have a problem contacting them.

Kybball,

I received the notification in the mail today about the 1500 certificate for another purchase and they are giving me an extended warranty for 6yrs/100k, but I already have the platinum VSA. What number did you call to request the $500 GC?

I had the recall done 2 months ago, finally today I received the certificate but not for $ 1,500 but for $2,000 for a lease or purchase. Any one can recomend a dealership other than Tampa?
