Consumer Description

I PURCHASED A 2003 LEXUS GX470 AND HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH A SERIOUS CLUNK/THUMP IN THE REAR TRANSMISSION. I BROUGHT IT INTO MY LEXUS DEALERSHIP AND THEY LUBED THE DRIVESHAFT. AFTER THIS IT WAS FIXED FOR APPROX 3 MONTHS BUT THIS THUMP/CLUNK IS BACK. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS MAY BE A SAFETY ISSUE AND IT SEEMS THAT LEXUS IS AVOIDING A FIX ACTION, ONLY PERFORMING A TEMP FIX. *JB
