Hi! I’m trying to get into a 2026 OT. I am in SoCal but can travel to NV or AZ. What is the current availability of the 2026 OT? What are the wait times like these days, and are people still paying over MSRP? Your input is greatly appreciated in advance.

Hi! I noticed that some people on this forum have mentioned Lexus buybacks due to transmission issues or other problems. I’m wondering what that process entailed and if you’d be willing to share any details. You can PM me if you prefer not to post publicly. Much appreciated in advance!

Does anybody know what battery model the fobs use? I hate to open my fob twice twice.

I suspect that the dealer’s refusal to perform a software flash when I first raised the issue at the 5,000-mile service may have caused permanent transmission damage. At the time, I was unable to demonstrate the jolts or rough shifting during an 8 minute test drive with the mechanic because the...

Me spels no good - I meant to say "flash". The dealership performed the firmware flash during my 10K mile service. It worked for two weeks, but the jolts came back—they aren't as violent as before, but they are way more frequent. I took it back for a set of other unfixed issues and the...

There is no transmission fix - the flash helps for 1-2 weeks and then the jolts come back. I got my OT from my dealer yesterday. The dealer confirm that the flash is the only thing available for the transmission fix. Do we need to start a class action lawsuit?

Hi! My bamboo platform had no smell whatsoever. I did apply polyurethane few months in and it smelled for 2 weeks.

The new sills are around $300 each and I drive women with hills, so it's an issue for me ;-)

The seller must've just updated based on my inquiry. Thank you for noticing. Still I would like to see some pics and answers to my questions, please.

Hi everyone! I’m looking at these door sill covers and was wondering if anyone here has installed them: Amazon.com: Beautost for Lexus New GX GX550 2024 2025 Inside Door Sill Scuff Plate Guard Cover Trims Stainless Steel (Silver) : Automotive If you’ve used them, please share pictures and your...

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.

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...

Firestone Tires can inspect your SUV for $10. The regular price is $20.

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...
