When I start my 2007 LS I can not set anything on the screen for at least 1 min. Also my car the resets at 75 degrees. I like to keep it at 71, Is any of this normal?

So everytime you start the car, there is a delay and after a min or so, it resets to 75 ?
Sounds like someone replaced the cabin air filter with out setting the car on recirculate mode... there is a lot of threads on this.

Lession learned, never let anyone change the cabin air filter..

Perfect, I would take it back there and ask them to check the cabin filter. Mine did the same thing after I changed it, mine wasn't broke but the filter wasn't seated right and caused the same problem. A little adjustment and it worked fine.

Thanks guys I will check the filter when I get the chance. Now I know it's no normal. Do you think the resetting the heat temp to 75 by it self falls under the same problem?

New to you car ? No question I would bring the car back and have them fix it. Otherwise, it's about a 1 to 2 hour job to do yourself (unless something physically broke but, normally it's something that just popped off)

lexman52 - Don't take mine and Chaos's reply personally. As I have worked for 2 OEM's in my past. The most recent was Hyundai-Kia. The lunacy and criminal activity that take place at a car dealership makes Las Vegas casinos look like a daycare facilities. Maybe a Lexus dealer might be better ... maybe. I have my doubts, but I don't know for sure because I do my best to ... STAY AWAY. Any dealership is my last resort. This is my personal opinion. Others may not share it.

Ah yes, the infamous ..."cabin air filter mis-installed, now the HVAC is dead for a minute" problem. Coincidentially this HVAC issue didn't appear until after the dealer replaced the sticky dashboard (still waiting for parts to replace the front door interior panels) on my 2007 LS460 - 99K miles. The filter & associated mechanisms are fine but the "lead tech" at the dealership says this known HVAC issue is due to a failing wiring harness. $900 will make it right again. For that I can handle pushing the "Auto" each time. Interestingly it isn't each time. Only if the car has been powered off for about 30 minutes or longer. I wonder how the wiring harness "knows" this.
Editorial: In my opinion the quality of service (and attitude) from Lexus has deteriorated substantially in the last few years. Yes, of course it could be that I have come to expect excellent service and now that I and my car have aged a little, that expectation is not as valid. Also, having a JERK for a service manager doesn't help. I don't remember having to argue, finesse or arm-twist as much in the past.
Finally, as I get ready to trade the LS, I believe a Tesla model S is in my future. I fly when going to far off places so range anxiety is not an issue. This is not a once in a lifetime decision, of course. It can always be traded for a Lexus product. Cheers.
