Default Technical Service Bulletins help solve alot

Mates,

One of the bests things I did after buying my 2002 SC430 was to pay $30 to ALLDATA.com for a 1 year subscription to their website for technical information on my car. Once registered, you can obtain all of the technical service bulletins for your car that describe the fixes for a myriad of problems. Since I bought my car, I've spent a fair amount of time reviewing the posts in this forum and the TSBs deal directly with almost every single problem listed. You can get the TSB titles from alot of free sites (such as Edmunds), but ALLDATA was the only place I found that provided the whole text of the bulletin, including diagrams. I suggest going to AllDATA and downloading any TSBs for any problems you're having and then confronting Lexus with these issues which have been known since 2003. I did just that and I was able to get Lexus to agree to replace my amplifier even though my car is out of warranty.

Why don't you list them all and the fixes, could not be that many that are problems on the SC430. Most TSB's are not problem fixes.
