2008 GX 470 driveline clunking problem before 5000 miles!

[j***@hotmail.com]

Looks like the infamous GX "clunk" problem is still there (since
2003-) and Toyota hasn't been able to fix it for some reason. TSB
#DL002-07.


"I took my 2008 GX 470 in yesterday for the 5k service and told the SA
about the Clunk. He special ordered the parts and it should be
arriving next week. Frustrating part is that Lexus is waiting for
people to complain instead of putting the driveshaft and control arms
into line production. SA said that he's already done a couple of
2008's already." -ClubLexus.com by gx470law


"My 2006 GX470 has the same "clunking" noise problem I brought it in
for the 5K mile check up and was told that the drive shaft needs to be
replaced. 3 months later, I am still waiting for the "back-ordered"
part. When you purchase a "luxury" vehicle, you should expect great
customer service & response time. So far, I am very disappointed."


"I own a 2004 GX 470 and noticed the clunking defect in the
transmission right away. It doesn't happen all the time and the
dealership back in 2005 couldn't duplicate it so they said "oh well".

Sure hope you didn't buy one Long Dong.

You DO own a Lexus, don't you? Otherwise why would you be slinking around
in such a sub-par newsgroup? Surely the BMW and Mercedes groups have much
more intelligent participants than this one does. Oops! I just called you
stupid, didn't I? Oh well.

So Glga, how long have you been unable to hear short bass sounds that
many folks would describe as "Clunk"? ou really do need to get that
checked out before you go totaly deaf.

48.

How old are you?

BTW -- my wife's previous car was an '03 GX470, and yes, it clunked as well.
I had it repaired, and the clunk, clunked no more. Simple, easy, and free.
No hassles, no excuses, just great professional service. Came with a free
loaner, wash, vacuum, donuts, AND coffee. I also got a peronsal apology
from the dealership manager (not a big deal, but certainly a nice gesture).
Personally, I have the means to buy pretty much any car I want, and the only
car I've owned since 1990 is Lexus. Being an engineer by trade, I'm pretty
picky about the quality and implementation of my toys, so I'd have to say
they're doing something right.

All righty then.
