FML...No luck with my car... =(
So i bought my car back in july with 50k mile and till now i have put on 15k and has been at lexus more then 15 times for numerous issues. First i had the issue with the car stalling out which it was in the shop 8 times. < lexus kept on telling me nothing was wrong with the car and they cant do anything about it. < pretty pathetic on their part i have to say. Oh well that issue had stopped... then in between when that was happening the rear differential was leaking and they told me they "changed it". Ok that was taken care of then i took it into get my pads n rotators changed and they had blown one of my calipers. Then they told me its not covered and i have no warranty but they ended up finding my warranty and fixing that issue. So, i had new wheels and tires put on the other day then last night my car felt very shaky and wobbling and very slugish. so this morning i drive over to work and there is a chevy dealer we are friends with across the street so i sent in thinkin my tires needed to b balanced .... they call me up 2hrs later telling me their master mechanic had worked on my car to do a road test after the balancing and found out my rear drive shaft is messed up and my rear diff is gone ...
so i sit here and am pissed at the facted lexus honesty sold me a truely messed up car
I hate keep on taking it back to them because it is out of my way and very annoying
Who i would like to know from the lexus gurus
what shall i do about this?? and how to go about this
i m fed up and sick of this
i would love to drive my car for a full month without having it being in the shop so freaking much
i ll be taking it to lexus on my break
if anyone has any suggestions please feel free to tell me here
or better txt me lol

I think at this point you might want to have a word with the general manager of that dealership and let him know of your disappointment. Perhaps somehow they can pull up the history of that car and see if it's been a problem car from the start. In regards to the differential, I'm hoping you got it in writing from the Chevy guy that it is blown because that SHOULD be covered since it was recently replaced and they should have a warranty on the work they do. They need to rectify this somehow. If he does not budge, I'd take it one step further to Lexus Corporate.
Good luck to you and keep us posted.

Be adamant but polite. Refer him to this thread and let him know that everyone is aware of the service you are getting and will be following up here. The internet is a very powerful tool.
Can you be more specific about the replies you've gotten from both the GM and Corporate?

Just hit me lexus didn't take off the wheel to check for the bend they said they let it spin while it was on the car ..... If the axel is messed up wouldn't that make the wheel wobble like its bent?wow freakin lexus techs wtf!

Again I ask: Do you have it in writing from Chevy that the differential is damaged? If so, did you show this to the dealer? Are the wheels new? If the wheels and tires are new, how are they shot? These are the questions you might want to confront the dealer with.

That's good. Take ALL of your paper work (even if you think it may not pertain to the issue) and bring that to dealer. Ask them for an explanation. If need be, talk to the GM right then and there. Do not leave until someone satisfies your needs.
And be strong about this! If you feel uneasy, tell them so and tell point out this thread. Let them know that a lot of Lexus enthusiasts are awaiting their code of action.
