I have a 3 month old brand new Lexus IS250 SEL which needs a new steering rack :shutit:
This is my second IS250 and I had no problems with the first over 50,000 miles except for the sqeaky dash which the boys fixed.......but this problem apparently is a well known fault which should have been fixed with a newly updated steering rack
Cost in the order of £2,500 to Lexus.......crazy crazy lexus.
Good news I got a new steering rack fitted today (within 24 hours of diagnosis!)
The odd thing is that the car supposedly had the modified rack which was a fix on the historic steering problems pre 2008.
Had an identical problem happen to me yesterday, reversing off the drive and steer became unusable. My problem is although my car isn't quite 3 years old (06 Plate) it has done 62,000......I am going to try and get Lexus to pick the tab up for this today :(
