Visual Inspection Video


Recommended Posts

So I've had the NX into the dealer for a service and to fix 3 issues.

Shortly after being collected, I had an email from the dealer .. "Visual Inspection video".

Initially concerned that there was something majorly wrong with the car, I was pleasantly surprised it was just a video showing tyre tread and that the suspension was visually OK.

Kinda neat - not sure if all Lexus dealers do this ?

(ps, no they didnt fix the 3 problems I told them about - typical uh ?)

What were the three problem?

  1. Number plate vibrates. Worked out its the metal numberplates that my company car lease company provides. Lexus plates are plastic. There was a suggestion that they would replace the numberplates, but it seems now they wont and neither will the company car company. http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/topic/95869-oh-dear-9-days-old-and-already-in-for-repair/
  2. Creeking from the B pillar. Related to the movement of the car as I drive. Does not occur all the time. Dealer could'nt reproduce originally, but after I drove the car, they heard it themselves. They're going to strip the car down to try and find the fault.
  3. Front driver speaker crackling - even with radio off. A bit more random this one. So far I've not reproduced it nor have the dealer experienced it.

Car is back with them today for #2 (and hopefully #3 but I'm not optimistic)

.. and the verdict is ..

Needs a new seat belt adjuster and a new front drivers speaker unit.

I had a similar B pillar intermittent creak on my IS300h. They ordered in a new seatbelt adjuster too. Didn't make the slightest difference I'm afraid. P/Ex'd it for the NX. I've now got an occasional vibrational sound coming from the passenger sun visor. Stops if I keep my hand on it!
