Requiring that the brake pedal be depressed in order to start the engine can be a nuisance, say if the driver is out of the vehicle and the passenger wants to start the engine to run the A/C, etc.
There is a workaround though. Press the engine start switch once to go into ACC mode, then press and hold it for 15 seconds and the engine will start without the brake pedal having to be pressed.
Lexus LS 2007+ :: Front Headlight Go Out After Starting And Driving For A Little - Moisture In Housing
My front passenger headlight seems to go out after starting and driving for a little. I just replaced the bulbs a few weeks ago and it just happened again. I did notice that the one headlight does flicker after turning on. After looking at the headlight it does appear that some moisture had gotten inside the housing. I don't want to take apart the headlight and reseal it and still have the same problem. Does the ballest need to be replaced also or does something have to be cleaned?

I just bought a 2008 Lexus ES350 with 79,000km. I noticed a lot of white smoke coming out of the exhaust pipe at the start, and even after 25 mins of city driving (although less smoke). Temperature outside was 12-17C. I worry I might have a damaged engine gasket or worse. Took the car to Service at Lexus, and it passed a combustion leak test and a misfire counts test; they recommended 'good highway drive to clear exhaust'.

Well, even though I love my 2010 SF SE I have had a few issues. I've had my power steering pump replaced twice and now I'm hearing a clunky/creaky noise coming from the right from wheel. I"m thinking it is a sticky caliper. It happens most frequently when I am just starting out from having the car parked for a while. When I put my foot on the brake and then release it I get the noise. It seems to go away after I have been driving a while.
Can't say I ever had this much trouble with my previous generation SF. Nothing major but annoying none the less. BTW I have just under 30k miles.
Dodge - Ram3500 :: 2007 - Pickup Starting By Itself / Loud Crashing Noise
I own a 2007 Dodge Ram Pickup (3500). One day it started by itself while parked outside in the driveway. It drove into one of my other pickups and pushed it into my side by side. It finally pushed both aside and was headed toward the house but was stopped by a tree. I heard a loud crashing noise so I looked out the window and saw what was happening. I jumped into the pickup to try and turn it off but the key wasn't turned on. I put the clutch in and took it out of gear but it just reved up more. The horn was blaring and smoke boiling out. I turned it off by opening up the hood and unhooking the battery cable.

Got an '02 here. This noise started to appear recently. When I turn the key to put electricity on (without starting the car), I hear this electric motor-like sound, similar to power window sound, coming thru the dash area, and it can also be heard outside the car coming from somewhere in or near the engine compartment or in front of the dash/windshield area. Could this be one of the servo that operates the AC vents? or its something else?

Every morning when I start my LX570 it starts with the idle higher that normal and then after 1 or two minutes is settles.
Along with the higher idle there is a little extra noise from the engine, after 2 minutes the noise goes away and all normal.
Is this the way they start in the morning?
Acura - Integra :: 1987 - While Starting Loud Noise Produces - After Starting Runs Smoothly
1987 Acura Integra Automatic, 160k I have been noticing - mostly for every start (there are a few in between that did not have that sound).
When starting, a loud sound (some what unbearable) heard and was hesitant and then the engine starts. Once started it runs fine. It is not the usual sound that the ignition makes when going bad.
What seems to be the issue? Right after I drained and filled AT fluid, it heard the first time. I have been doing AT fluid since nearly 10yrs ago with Honda fluid. I only did drain and fill and it went smoothly. In 2007, the tranny was replaced. After starting, the car runs smoothly - it is only when starting or just before engine try to start. Batt and alternator tests fine.
It hardly did it today - I might have once heard a girding sound just before starting.
Lexus LS 2007+ :: Still Have Ticking Noise After Having VSR Done?
I bought my car CPO but the svc records show the VSR recall was done just a few months before I bought it. I brought it in one time for the noise and they said it is normal, just a high pressure fuel pump noise.
View 14 RepliesLexus LS 2007+ :: Low Pitch Noise Only Between 55 To 65 Mph
I have a 2009 LS 460 AWD SWB and I'm experiencing a low pitch noise that starts around 55mph and goes away after 65mph. It's a low pitch sound that's like "wom, wom, wom". The best way I can describe it is if you took a crystal bowl of water and rubbed your wet finger around the rim so it makes a low-pitch reverberating sound. It's strange that it only occurs at a specific speed range. There is also some vibration that I can feel from the floor board in the driver seat at the same time the noise pops up.
I had all eight of my control arms replaced and thought that might resolve this noise but it didn't. I took it to my Lexus dealership and their conclusion is that the noise is due to the tires (they rotated and checked the balancing on my current tires and found nothing wrong with them. They are Turanza's which are new and only have about 1000 miles on them). They said the vibration was likely coming from a torn boot on the front right axle.
I don't understand how the noise and vibration could each be caused by two separate unrelated sources when the noise/vibration are heard/felt at the same exact time in the same exact speed range.
They gave me no specific recommendation on what type of tire to get and recommended I talk to a tire specialist about the noise.
Lexus LS 2007+ :: Rattle Noise From AC Compressor - RPM Is Around 800
I notice when the AC is on, the rpm is around 800 and I can clearly hear the rattle of the compressor. When I switch off the AC, the rpm's drop to 500 and the noise is much reduced. Is this typical for our LS460 models?

With the motor running and the air conditioning on, there is a intermittent ticking noise that comes and goes. It may be the compressor coming on and going off.

Lexus LS 2007+ :: Clicking Noise As Car Is Rolling
The other night I'm driving and i hear this clicking noise as the car is rolling, like what it sounds like if something is it your tire, i can tell its coming from the front right so i get out and check it and its nothing there, next thing i thought was its something on the rotor.....so i take the car the next morning to lexus shop that i go to(not the dealer) he hears the noise takes of the front wheel and sees the issue. There's like a bent pin in the middle of the calipers that he said got moved or bent or something and the rotor was rubbing on that, so he gets a pliers and kinda bends/pulls it back to where its supposed to be.
He says the hardware on the brake system eventually deteriorates and when i do my next brake job i should replace those things too(just did my brakes though). so i drove off and everything was fine. Today I'm pulling out and when i tap on my brakes i hear a squeak I've never heard before, it seems like the clicking noise came back slightly and when I went on the highway the brakes just feel different and now there's a shudder in my steering wheel, i do have a warranty on the car and was wondering if it wouldn't be covered since its associated with the brakes.
