Common Lexus Repairs
In consumer surveys, Lexus scores well on reliability ratings. Like every car line, the brand has a few problems that are more commonly reported than others. Some of the most frequent issues, for example, are drivetrain problems that trigger the check engine light. Many owners also report oil leaks at low mileage. The average onset for this problem appears to be around 8,000 miles. While it’s not a specific Lexus brand problem, brake work is another common repair. Brake pads are wearable items and won’t last forever no matter what kind of car you drive. Furthermore, your rotors may need resurfacing if they’ve incurred damage. This is particularly true if the pads are allowed to disintegrate to the point of the brake calipers cutting into the smooth discs. The more stress you put on your brakes (hard stops, lots of downhill driving, etc.), the sooner your automobile will need brake repair. Though it’s not a mechanical problem, water seeping into the vehicle around the sunroof can damage the interior and electronics if not repaired promptly. Not every car suffers this fate, but quite a few do. The issue often manifests itself between 20,000 and 30,000 miles.
