I was at my dealer yesterday to have some new alloys put on under warranty and a few other bits and pieces I brought up the issue of poor fuel consumption and they advised me that the day prior they had received a new software update from Lexus GB for the ecu (which I have had) and they were in the process of arranging a recall for all models. And anyone who has not had the 5th injector replaced can soon expect a recall soon also, (are things looking up?)
Apparently - so I've been told the only difference I will spot with the updated ECU is the idle speed......... Can't say I've noticed anything
I had a loan of the RX400h for the day what a machine absolutely loved the drive but I felt that the interior was bit cheap :shutit:
I am a new IS 220d owner and bought a 06 model with only 6k on the clock. I was only getting 32 to the gallon including a steady run from Derby to Newcastle.
I registered my concern with the Dealer who changed the 5th injector, which made little difference, they eventually agreed to exchange the vehicle.
Unfortunately I have had to buy a newer model at an extra cost just to get the sort of consumption detailed in the promotion material.
The dealer has been good but Lexus have shown no support to me or the dealer. I have spoken to customer services who said the fuel figs. were only indicative!
That there was northing they could or would do! So much for Lexus legendary customer service!
