lexus 220d /rav4t180

How many people have managed to get an extended warranty are engine rebuild.

Thanks Paul

Hi, sorry to be a pain, l see you work for toyota and my heads gone on my lexus is220d and l also have a rav4 T180 07 with 43,000miles on it.

As the rav has the same engine as the lexus,how big is the problem with the heads. Should l get an extended warranty for the T180.

Thanks Paul

l have a rav T180 which has the same engine. no problems at moment but had new water pump last week. The problems started 4 months after changed pump on my lexus,

Hello,

We purchased our lexus in Feb last year so it is still within the 1yr warranty it came with from the dealer.

The car is just over 3yrs old and the fan started to make a very loud noise over Christmas so I took the car to the local dealer.

They have told me the Head Gaskett is about to go so the car has to go in be stripped down tomorrow. They tell me this is a known problem on the IS220 so there should be no problem getting this fixed through Lexus.

My previous car was an Alfa 156 and due to countless problems and huge amounts of money spent it was traded in for what I thought was going to be a very reliable Lexus.

I am now concerned my lovely car has been a bad purchase and I have now just gone from bad to worse in the car stakes.

Has anyone else heard of this problem in the Lexus 220s from 06-09 plate? Also does anyone else know of any known problems with this car that I have not been told about.

I have always wanted to own a lexus and I currently fell a little bit let down.
