Lexus GS 2006-11 :: GS430 Headlight Come On And Then Usually Left Will Go Out While Driving
I have a 2006 GS 430.
Absolutely love the car, however I do have a new issue with my headlights. Pretty much every time I drive at night, the headlights will both come on and then one will go off at some point. They almost always both come on, and then usually the left will go out while driving.
It doesn't happen necessarily immediately. Sometimes 2-3 minutes later, sometimes 20 min, sometimes they work fine. I took it to a local shop and they said the whole assembly needs to be replaced on each side. (Parts alone $1200/each side) and apparently the bumper needs to come off. Seems a little ridiculous to me.
Lexus GS 2006-11 :: VSC Error On 2007 GS430 After Changing Headlight Bulbs
I have a 2007 GS 430, 126,000 miles. Initially I had one faulty headlight that would not work but after turning the switch off/on, it would work again. Eventually both headlights started malfunctioning. After reading other forums, we elected to change the headlight bulbs. So far that has worked. However, after changing the bulbs, the VSC (Vehicle Stability Control) and check engine lights came on. After running the headlights and using the car to go to/from work with about 4 stops and restarts, the car reset itself and the warning lights turned off. Scared me at first because I had also just had suspension work done. However, the Headlamp Level Control System is part of the VSC system, which makes sense, just wasn't prepared for the warning lights.

The right front headlight sometimes doesn't work on our Lexus. One time my wife was driving home after dark and it didn't work. When she got home I tried it and it worked fine. A couple days ago she was pulled over by the police because the same headlight was out. Once again when I went to try it, it was fine. What might be the problem. Loose connection or wiring?? By the way... I have been reading about the windows popping out and the clips breaking. Same thing happened at around 60,000 miles to the right side, with no tint.

View 7 RepliesLexus GS 2006-11 :: Cruise Control Doesn't Work?
The other day I tried to do the nav hack and dvd playback in motion. I read through the instructions multiple times and followed them correctly making sure to cut the right wires. At the end, the only thing that worked was the dvd playback. I even tried two different switches but no luck. Over the weekend I noticed that cruise control wasn't working. When I press the cruise control button you can see the icon in the dash but you can't "set" the speed.
So today I plugged everything back to how it was, but still the cruise control does not work. I think it has something to do with the VSS. I did search, but I only found one other guy that had the same problem but it was never posted if he solved it.
I checked all the fuses under the hood and under the dash but they are all okay. How to reset the VSS or where the fuse for it may be? I'm going to try unplugging the battery and seeing if that does anything.
Passat (B5) :: Driver Side Low Beam Doesn't Work After Replacement Of Both Low Beams Bulb
I had the heater core flushed, inspection done, a tie rod end replaced, and both low beams replaced to pass inspection in January. The driver's side low beam stopped working after a week.
When I would hit a bump in the road, it would start working for a while till I hit another bump and then it would go off. Now the driver's side low beam never works.
I could have gone back to the mechanic, but it's an 80 mile round trip(they used to be a lot cheaper than the dealership). Now that the weather is starting to get better, do you think it's a simple problem that I can fix myself? I don't want to waste 80 miles worth of gas just to have them charge me for something that they already charged me to fix. The next time I'm due an oil change I may go there and demand that they fix the light too, but I'm not going to waste 80 miles of gas just for the light.
Lexus GS 2006-11 :: Gas Smell Inside The Car GS430
Guys, i have a 2006 GS430 with around 119k miles...Last night when i started the car and turned on the Fan, Strong Gas smell started to seep in through the Vents, At first i didn't really think much off the smell...Drove home (about 2 miles) and then Opened the hood while car still running.
There is this black round piece that sits on the Fuel pressure line (Or atleast that's what it seems) it's completely soaked in GAS (Petrol), i need to know what this part is called.
Is it Fuel Pressure regulator? if it's fuel pressure regulator is it easy to replace?
Here is the picture that was just taken (Upon starting the car)....
Lexus GS 2006-11 :: GS430 Oil Leak In Driveway
For starters I hardly drive my gs430 and ill put it this way. Its almost been a year and i still haven't put 5k miles on the vehicle. back to the matter at hand. I am starting to see an oil leak in my driveway from this vehicle. I am unsure exactly where its coming from. It could be from the valve cover or the cam seal (assuming that is what it is called). The leak is above the alternator that is why I think its the valve cover and or the cam seal (if that's what it is)...

My father has a 2006 GS430 that just started to have an issue when he slows down, it feels as if the car is braking itself. I've read that people have changed their ECU to fix this issue and that it works. I bought a new ECU(same part number) and installed it but the car tries to start but doesn't. I swapped back the old ECU and the car starts. I swap back the new ECU and it doesn't. I'm wondering if the ECU has to be recorded at the dealership.

I recently purchased a GS350 from auction, thought it ran and drove, got it home, the car had a blown motor. it was an insurance scam from what i gathered. well, car is running and driving now, everything works great not a single warning light on the dash, but i do have a problem with the power windows.
The pass side front and rear windows wont go down, the seat memory doesn't work, and the window switches are flashing... i tried reprogramming them as one of the posts said by lowering the window half way etc that's fine but my pass side window wont go down at all. all fuses check out. and my sunroof works like it should. does this sound like a Module inside the door issue?

I can't seem to get the headlights to adjust vertically on my 2006 GS430... I was able to do the horizontal and high beam adjustments done fine. It's just that when I try to adjust the vertical it does nothing... there's that gauge with the two bubble containers that you look at. When i look through the small window at it and screw the adjustment, all it does is move that little tube with the bubble either forward or backward. The bubble doesn't move. It seems to be stuck on the end where the front of the car is. The whole thing just moves!!! when i screw it clockwise, it will move the tube to the left and when i screw it counterclockwise it will move it to the right. I can move it all the way to the left or all the way to the right but the bubble just will not move.

How to fix the low speed brake squeal on my GS. I have an o6 with about 80K on it. Have had it for four years and never winter driven. I am debating trading it off on an AWD GS or putting it into full time service as my year round driver.
I haven't driven a rear wheel drive car in the winter for 20 years. Everything else I have is AWD of 4x4. Here in Alberta we get some serious snow and ice. I have Nokian WR2 tires on it year round because you can get snow in the mountains even in July. I tried mine on the driveway after a good snow fall and even on Winter ESB and with good tires, it does not seem to have great traction.
Have any of you used your GS430s in regular winter driving, heavy snow and ice. How to get it to perform its best in deep snow or very slippery roads?
