Hi Guys,
I recently joined your Forum.
This is my second lexus 450h purchased a year ago.
I had an accident on 1st march '23 ( my fault) .
Driveable ,but damage to the bonnet, grill, cameras etc.
My insurance company arranged repair quickly with their recommended body shop, but I opted to go with my LEXUS dealer . (Yet to go for repair as the date given is 18th May, Two months from the date my insurance company authorised Lexus dealer on 13th March '23- too busy they say)
As atleast five safety messages are appearing regularly recommending a visit to the dealer.( Messages like lane change , cruise control malfunction etc), I took my car to the dealer who Checked and reassured me it is safe to drive with those messages and to ignore it.
Recently as i was driving with my wife a loud "Bang" was heard by both of us, preceded by two tiny loud noises on different days( which i thought were from other cars).I took my car again to the dealer who checked , test drove and reassured me all is okay.They couldnt explain what and why that loud noise that we heard.
I am a bit reluctant to drive my Lexus now and use my wife's car most of the time till it is repaired.
However I am still concerned about this loud bang while driving and if this will not appear after repair.
Any ideas?? Could this be related to damage done to the front following accident??
I await to hear your advice and comments .
Thanks.
Faz
