Lexus LS 2007+ :: AC Don't Work Unless Car Moves
Mar 4, 2015
I have a 2009 LS460 with 119k on the clock. Last winter noticed the AC system began this thing where after parked for over an hour or so, the temp reset to 75, and the other settings went to some neutral setting. So when this condition occurs (practically every time I get in the car) I have to wait for about a minute before I get anything from the AC or heat system, and it all has to be reset.
When I first bought the car (2 yrs ago, used, 70k on the clock) this condition was not present.
Recently, I noticed that unless the car is moving, I get only outside temp air, regardless of the settings in cold temperatures where I need heat, defrost, etc.

My RX350 is over 4yrs old with 105k km on it. I notice lately when I drive off the seat moves back a bit and when braking hard it moves forwards. It is about quarter of an inch movement but it is noticeable. I guess it is not under warranty now. I looked under the seat but can not find where this is coming from, I am assuming it must be a loose bolt that needs to be tightened.

So the other day i hit something on the road and all of the sudden when im coasting in gear i hear a "thududududududd" noise from mid engine.. you cant hear it when the windows are down, only when they are up and it doesn't happen in neutral or when the clutch is pressed in. also after i shut the car off and turned it back on i had a CEL for the A range vehicle speed sensor which i replaced yesterday but still the speedo doesn't work and the gas gauge is moving around bends. when letting off the gas to shift the car stops almost like hitting the brakes and shifts kind of hard. It also backfires like a shot gun in 4th gear only. I recently had a stage 2 south bend clutch put in but everything was fine after that installation.

have problems with LKA while driving at night. While driving at day time, LKA works perfectly. However, if I drive at night (on the same road), LKA seems to work 1 out of 10 times, no more. The radar works fine day and night.

I got my new interior LED lights and went to install. All good up, Went to put in rear dome, which is usually easier than the front. Plugged everything in,nothing.
Played with it for a minute... nothing. Put original LED back in, now that one doesn't work. Spot lights on either side of the dome work fine.
I checked the fuse box on the drivers side, all good.

However, my '07 Wagon has the manual seat with the power lumbar. The problem is at almost 6'4" I need the seat all the way back and to achieve that I have to lower it but I need more support under my thighs because of my sometimes bad back. When you raise the seat it also moves forward which is not good. Other than finding a full power seat from a wreck, (power seat gives the ability to tilt the seat cushion) modifying the existing mechanism?
I bought the car as a CPO 4 months ago and love it other than this. I'm actually thinking of getting out of it but I really can't afford to right now.

I must be missing something does this make sense to me. Headlight switch is on auto. If I go into the nav unit to vehicle settings. I find the headlight timer settings. If I set it to 30 sec. the headlights turn off when I shut off the car and then wait 30 seconds.
But if I set it to OFF and then turn off the car the headlights should turn off. Instead they stay on, and from what I can tell never turn off. I waited 5 minutes before I gave up and changed the setting back.
To me OFF should mean there is no delayed timer and the lights just come on when it is dark and off in daylight. Of course with the car started and the headlight switch still on auto.

I just picked up a 2007 Lexus GS450h in MM.
I have tried everything that I could up to this point but can not get my fog lights and city lights to work. I have changed the bulbs, checked the fuses and the only other thing that I can think of is the fog light relay. What is the location of the fog light relay on the 3GS, I am almost positive that this is definitely the issue for the fogs and I'm also hopeful that it could be the issue with the city lights.
Also, I've seen that there is a 7.5a fuse in the trunk that is labeled 'RR Fog', I'm pretty sure this is for nonUSDM models but maybe this being the culprit?

The right front headlight sometimes doesn't work on our Lexus. One time my wife was driving home after dark and it didn't work. When she got home I tried it and it worked fine. A couple days ago she was pulled over by the police because the same headlight was out. Once again when I went to try it, it was fine. What might be the problem. Loose connection or wiring?? By the way... I have been reading about the windows popping out and the clips breaking. Same thing happened at around 60,000 miles to the right side, with no tint.

So this morning, I pressed memory seat #1, and it did not move my chair to the position that I set it for. I had to adjust the chair manually. Every time, I move the chair back or recline the back, in intermittently beeped every 1-2 seconds. It does not beep if I move the chair forward. Could it be the fuse? or what could be wrong?

I LOVE my new 2015 RX. I took delivery just a few weeks ago (07/11/14) and just hit the 1K mark! This car is so nice, and solid I truly am so happy and proud to have it.
One little *little* thing that I did notice.. is that over the past few days.. I notice that when I get in the car, or exit.. and the automated tilt steering wheel moves up or down, it make a very loud, and defined "squeak" noise. Specifically happens in the lower end, (i.e. when the wheel is near the bottom of the travel, as I have the wheel set to the lowest setting). the upper part of the travel seems fine.
Is this something I can fix myself with grease of some type? I would hate to have to block off a day, take to the dealer, get a loaner car.. and then go back etc.. plus.. I hate going to the dealer.. I am of the mindset that they generally cause more issues. (What if they scratch something, sit on the edge of my leather seats and make creases, etc.. ) so, if there is a way I can fix it.. I am all for it.

I have a 2013 Lexus ES 350 with navigation. Is it possible to stop the drivers seat from moving back when I turn the car on? It also moves forward to the position I had it when I start the car.

My drivers seat feels like it moves slightly after applying the brakes and then back on the gas like when you almost come to a full stop. The car is CPO with 22k and new to me so I can't say how long it's been happening. I feel like I remember a similar problem and TSB with the 2 gen IS but I'm not sure. I'm just trying to get some info before taking it to the dealer.

My 2000 Lexus GS 300 has done the following three times when I've been inching forward by lightening on the brake (not touching the gas pedal): slight engine surge moves the car forward and the brakes don't work. I have to throw the car into "Park" to stop. Had it checked each time (twice by my local shop and once by the dealer) and they find nothing amiss. These three incidents have occurred several weeks apart, during cold weather. My car has 98,000 miles on it and has been very well maintained.

I have a 2008 LS360L with 4-zone climate control. For whatever reason, the rear seat controls and display do not work for climate control. The controls still work for radio, rear seat adjustment and window shades, but climate functions are unoperable.
Additionally, the 4-zone buttons on the nav touchscreen are now missing in the climate menu. There used to be left / right passenger settings and then a button to switch to rear seat settings. These options have all disappeared from the menu.
I can press the 4-zone physical button on dash and manually change temperature settings for driver or passenger by pressing physical driver / passenger temperature up / down buttons.
The only thing I can attribute to this is I had the dealer do a map upgrade to the nav system. All other features / functions work, but the timing is somewhat suspect... They really do not believe this upgrade caused the problem.
Are there hidden menus I may have hit to deactivate this feature?

I made a scary discovery the other day, or I should say, my son did... Apparently, you can shift the lever out of park, reverse, any gear without pressing the brake pedal first! 06 GX with 77k ...

I have a 2003 Lexus GS 300 with 125k. Two problems. First, the back doors don't lock or unlock electronically (well, very rarely one will unlock). The only way to lock/unlock them is to manually reach around. It started with the driver's side back door almost two years ago, and in the past 7-8 months the other one started doing the same thing.
Also, the steering wheel automatically moves out of position when the key is removed, and automatically back into position when the car is started. A nice feature, but the steering wheel screams when it moves up and down. It's loud and embarrassing.
