I think mine is crapping out...it's making these whine noises when I accelerate...I'm gonna take it in to have it looked at soon

 

isn't the water pump is under powertrain warranty which lexus extended it to 9yr/unlimited miles? so every IS should be able to replace it at no charge?

 

Are you sure? I had not heard of this... When did this happen?

 

lexus extended the powertrain warranty on IS250, and my SA told me water pump is covered under that? someone correct me if I am wrong?

 

powertrain includes water pump

The original poster has an is350... Anyway, I thought the 9yr extended warranty on the is250 was only for the carbon build up issue, I didnt know it covered the whole power train... If it does thats great for the is250 people.

 

From what I understand, the extended repairs is only for the carbon build up and NOT the power train warranty.

 

Lexus extended the warranty only on Carbon Build-Up related issues for 9yrs/unlimited miles.

 

Yup I wasnt happy about this.. Im a Lexus certified Technician for 5 half years.. Ive seen few IS with low miles already have water pump leak.. SMH!!! I replaced water pump on my car only has 45k miles.. WACK new Lexus...
