Question type: Maintenance & Repair

The dealer serviced the transmission, with a transmission flush and filter. It ran fine for 2-3 weeks. It started to loose power or torque. Now it sounds and act like it is stuck in neutral. Any sight?

you mentioned they flushed it right? might need to refill on ATF if its AT... if its a manual transmission gearbox, the interlinks might be loose...you can always go back to the dealer and ask about the details of this service because it might be a back job...

I recently purchased a well maintained 1993 Lexus LS 400, but the battery was said to be a problem. I have only driven it a few times, but I notice when I apply the breaks the headlaps blink. Can this be a symptom of an electrical problem that would explain why the battery was always being drained for the prior owner? I am going to purchase a new high quality battery, but the prior owner told me to keep the + terminal disconnected so it would not go dead. Hmmm :( This does not sound like a practical way to address the problem. Any suggestions? Scott 2 Answers

My LS400 is not running like a V8 should. For the first few years i've had the car it ran great. I use to fool around and drive fast, and when i hit the gas it picked up speed and roared like a V8 should, now it doesn't pick up the speed nor rev up like it used to. What could be the problem? What do i need to fix? 1 Answer
