is 300 cd changer mechanism but I wasn't notified. I took my car to westside lexus regarding an ongoing dashboard melting situation and cd player issue. Lexus finally agreed to replaced dashboard after 3 years and I am grateful but the cd changer jams now. If I haven't done my research I wouldn't know there was initial complaints regarding the cd changer. Over the month-to-month weird cd sound of tumbling then playing it progressively gotten worse. My 5- disc cd player will not play cds at all and sound is cd tumbling around in the player. Westside lexus stated I needed to replace the cd player at $500.00 And I should not have the issue at all. I should have been notified as soon as the issue was addressed. I shouldn't have to pay $500.00 For a 2003 issue. *Tr

warning. Driving on the highway 60 miles per hour my motor stop running which caused another driver to have an accident. The driver tried to avoid hitting me and he totaled his car. Lexus sent out limited recall letters therefore I did not know about the issue and could have cost my or the driver life. Now lexus will not correct this issue even though I researched and found the recall. I called lexus and was told there wasn't a need to send me letter because my vin # wasn't on the list. I asked how could send the letters to a few when most of the is 300 has the same issue. *Tr
