Got into an accident, not at fault
I was driving on a two-way main road when another driver pulled out from a side street despite having a stop sign and failed to yield, colliding with the rear passenger side of my car and scraping along the side. Police responded, a report was taken, and no one was injured. The rear wheel is now rubbing, so I’m not driving it until it’s inspected.
Based on the photos, does this look like something that would likely be repaired, or could it end up being totaled?
Rx350 2015
Hello everyone,
I have a 2015 Lexus RX 350 and I am looking for ideas on modifications to give it a sportier, more modern look.
I am interested in both exterior and interior upgrades. The interior, especially the dashboard, feels a bit dated compared to newer models, so I would love to hear what people have done to modernise it. I am also open to suggestions for wheels, body kits, lighting, suspension, or any other tasteful modifications that improve the overall appearance without compromising reliability.
If you have photos of your build or can recommend good brands or parts, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks!
Cowl Cover Chipping off
I noticed the windshield cowl trim has started separating and appears to be cracking from Texas heat. The vehicle only has 40,000 miles, and I wouldn’t expect this type of deterioration on a four-year-old Lexus NX.
I am concerned about water intrusion, debris accumulation and any HVAC issues. Is anyone having a similar problem?
Would this be covered by Lexus? Any suggestions are appreciated
What is the biggest jump in luxury?
Like the title says, between their car model, which has the biggest increase in luxury?
IS to ES.
ES to GS.
GS to LS.
LS to Century 😊
How small is the second and third generations Lexus IS interior? I have a few herniated discs and space and comfort is #1 priority
Im about 5’10 185 but still feel crammed in the smaller cars
2026 Lexus IS 350 F SPORT owners with Mark Levinson audio — what did you pay?
I’m shopping for a new Lexus IS 350 F SPORT AWD with the Mark Levinson audio system (Navigation Package + ML) and I’m trying to get a sense of what people are actually paying.
If you purchased recently, could you share:
MSRP
Selling price before taxes/fees
Out-the-door (OTD) price
State you purchased in
Whether it was purchased or leased
Thanks in advance—I’m trying to compare offers before pulling the trigger.
2UR-GSE ticking (update)
So my service advisor had called me and told me my short block needs to be replaced and so they will be replacing my entire engine with a new one. 2024 IS500 with 26k miles. I’ve done my oil changes every 3k miles with liquid Molly and have only used 93 octane. I’m surprised my engine gave out so sooon….
Lexus TX T-Rex package
Was looking at the Lexus TX and saw this model at the dealership. I forgot to grab a photo of the window sticker, so don’t have the specs. I think it’s a 2” lift and the cost was few grand.
Lexus IS outsells the ES
A surprise and some joy for me.
Anyone else shocked by it?
Honestly, would mean a lot if it meant a new GS too if the ES flops.
2026 RZ Charging Issues
I've had my 2026 RZ 450e for a couple of weeks and I love a lot about it. But I only took it to a public charger the other day (was planning a longer trip the next day) to test out public chargers and ran into issues that scared me away. So far I've just been trickle charging in my garage.
As others posted (I did a search here a moment ago), the first charger I tried had a cable that could only barely reach if I pushed all the way to the curb. And then in the Lexus app wasn't updated with which chargers are available--I was at charger 2a for that location, but it only would let me pick 1a, 1b, and 2c (or whatever, but not 2a)--those were in use, even after refreshing a couple times. Then the line got backed up and I felt bad for those waiting so I thought I'd try another place.
Gas station two had 4 chargers, but 2 were broke and it also had a line so I went elsewhere.
A Chargepoint had an opening, but the wrong connector.
Another place (not sure if it was Chargepoint also or another ev company) also had the other plug type.
Finally got to another gas station with Tesla chargers and the first charger I couldn't get close enough to charge--a light pole wouldn't let me put my nose over the curb. But the second one did and in the Lexus app I was able to see the charger and charge.
I took a different car with me for my trip. I don't feel good about my 550 mile (each way) interstate-driving trip in a few weeks. I think I can be if I:
- Get the adapter for the Chargepoints. Is it just one other adapter that I'll need?
- Get some sort of extension to let me charge at any Tesla supercharger.
- Use the Tesla and Chargepoint apps.
Any other tips? Is this typical? Someone want to point me to a specific adapter and separately an extension that works well/good quality?
What a modern LS400 could look like [AI Concept]
With car manufacturers recycling older styles (boxy cars..etc), I was thinking what a re-imagined version of a new Lexus LS400 would look like.
I don't mind the look of newer models but some of them are way too aggressive and overdone. I miss the understated, sleek and elegant look of older models.
What do you guys think? Would you drive a modern LS if it looked something like this? Or has the ship sailed for understated and classy designs?
Separating Leather on 2023 Lexus RX350H
I just bought a 2023 lexus rx350h luxury edition, private sale. Car is at 60,000km and still under warranty.
I had it safetied at Lexus today and everything passed. After i got home, i noticed the leather at the rear seat on the bottom separating. the seat was folded down and had some trouble coming up, i eventually used some pressure to get the seat up and noticed the bottom piece of the middle seat was separated.
Has anyone dealt with this issue before?
I’m shocked a 2023 lexus is experiencing this…
Would this be covered under warranty?
Dashcam Installation led to sensor malfunction.
I just finished installing a fitcamx dashcam for my 23 NX350h and received this yellow safety support indicator warning ⚠️ .
The dashcam is working properly, and everything else in the car is working properly except for anything sensor related such as parking assist, collision detection, blindspot monitoring, auto high beams and even got an airbag malfunction error.
The car notified me that I should take it to the dealer, and I plan on doing that , but just wanted to see if anyone has any trouble shooting suggestions before I schedule that.
2017 Lexus rx350 help needed.
I went to see this used Lexus rx and drove beautifully. But it has all this warnings. The seller claims that is a corrupt map disk that need to be replaced and Lexus quotes 500. And that all the safety warning will be gone one that disc is installed. I don’t see how the infotainment system will cause the driving aids to malfunction. Not to The radio doesn’t work either. Any of you been through something similar.
Looking to do an 11–12 2IS conversion on my 09 2IS. Is it pretty much plug and play, or are there any extra steps, wiring, or parts I’ll need to make everything work? (Other than fog lights ofc)
Took my moms car to the dealer for an oil change and this is what they tried to quote her
'21 nx300
My mom recieved a coupon from a lexus dealer for a $60 oil change, I live in the city so I don't have a driveway or a place to jack the car up and do the oil change myself. Went to the dealer and they want to charge that much for an air filter and spark plugs. 🤣🤣🤣
I declined the services do it myself after looking at that bill, both of them can be done in 30 minutes.
