    Hoot owl noise from engine when cold

    I just made a YouTube video about the noise I am experiencing. It's a longer version of what I uploaded to this thread earlier. Please comment if you experience the same issue. I hope Lexus engineers can weigh in.

    Gas cap retainer cord/disconnecting

    I made a YouTube video showing how I fixed the disconnecting gas cap on my Lexus GX550. This is my first time making a video. To spare folks from my mumbling, I used AI to generate the voiceover. That’s why it might sound so cheesy and or arrogant - apologies in advance 😄 May I ask you finest...

    Hi! Sorry to bother you with this. Have you had any success with your dealer to have the seal fixed at no cost to you? My claim was denied and my dealer wants $1462 to replace both. Pathetic and I am appealing to Lexus Engagement Center. Please let me know when time permits. Happy Holidays by...

    Premature Door Seal Wear on My 2025 OT – Anyone Else? Dealer Warranty?

    Lexus of Woodland Hills said the damage is normal and not covered by the warranty. Please share your experience here. I think the damage is due to the door seal aligning exactly with the point where it rubs against uneven door panel fitment. Replacing only the seal will not resolve the issue, as...

    Hoot owl noise from engine when cold

    So, I had the SUV serviced but the noise evolved into a very subtle continuous noise. Now the SUV is making this noise. Does anyone experience the same when starting from cold? I edited the video for smaller size to post here.

    Hoot owl noise from engine when cold

    Thank you, jennybug678. You might want to edit your original post to say something like the dealer did this to fix but it did not work.

    Premature Door Seal Wear on My 2025 OT – Anyone Else? Dealer Warranty?

    No, it's just the leatherette seat cover. The seat is fine - just the door seal is torn. I had my girl check how I get in and out and I do not touch the seal with my butt.

    Premature Door Seal Wear on My 2025 OT – Anyone Else? Dealer Warranty?

    Hi! I have a 2025 OT with 9K miles. I just noticed some damage to the door rubber seal and was wondering if anyone else has experienced the same thing. It looks like it wore down in this spot simply from me getting in and out of the car. It doesn’t seem very durable. Do you think the dealer...
