OK let's see if there are any problems with the 06 GS300.

Not sure why you are looking so hard for trouble, but we'll see if this and your other discussion fly.
HOWEVER, only the DRIVER's WINDOW doesn't open.
Very strange.
Repeatable.
I looked at Lexus Personalized Settings, and this isn't something you should be able to do.
Window lock isn't set (not that this should matter), and driver's winodw works normally from inside.
It's going back to the dealer to be fixed.
Pursuit is not the same as Arrival - no car is perfect. However hopefully the huge Premium markup on your Lexus kicks in now with "near" perfect customer service. Good luck.
Thanks, Dan...
Could you be a little more precise?

My guess is that the Timing Belt or Chain may be to hard, but if someone could give me feedback on either one that would be great.

This now happens perhaps 3 or 4 times on a 100-mile trip. It also happens sometimes when I accelerate from slow speed before the engine has warmed up.
Lexus service people could not find any codes or other evidence of this happening.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Can you please tell me what type of maintenance costs I can expect on owning a 2006 GS300? How much are the oil changes? Are there schedule repair every 5000, 10000 miles? If so, what are the costs associated with those?
Thanks!

The Lexus dealer washes the car (worth, what $10?) and also checks for general maintenance issues and downloads codes, but if the car is running well, I hardly think that's worth more than $100.
15,000 mile service, which I probably WILL have done at Lexus, is $400-$450.
Has anyone had experience with Falken ZE512 tires?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks,

I would have preferred an AUX jack, and wonder aloud strongly why a newly designed 2006 car would have a cassette deck. But the cassette noise is minimal, and it's more than adequate. It's much better than FM transmitter mode.
Thanks again!
I'm not familiar with the steering and suspension of the GS, but yours may have a similar problem. It is VERY hard to diagnose unless you are the driver and can replicate the problem.
Alternatively, it could be faulty strut mounts? However, the GS is not known to have this problem.
My repair for a right front wheel bearing hub and front drive axle cost me $860 with labor and taxes.
To answer your question, your component should not have worn out this fast, and should be covered under your bumper to bumper warranty.

Most typical problem is dirty/poor battery connections otherwise an almost dead battery or bad cell in the battery.
A new battery will solve this problem.
Skip.
In this case the MSRP was $450.00 or so and the dealer charged me $491.00. I had to pay the difference. Has anyone come across this before?
