Like everyone said, you need a new alternator.

Thank you, menancyandsam! That is exactly the info I was looking for!!!! Sweet relief. Track up turns it on and Track down turns it off.

Absolutely, yes. Still, the connected prompt is twice as loud as the volume playing from my phone.

Question for the group with the BT45-TOY. The volume is pretty low so have to have the volume high when listing via bluetooth to my phone. The problem is when I restart the car and the "CONNECTED" comes on. It nearly blows my speakers every time I forget to turn the volume down immediately at...

Thank you for the responses folks. I never did fully lose all brake pressure but I had it towed to a shop. Sure enough full failure. For those in ATL, couldn't recommend LexTechs enough. Very professional and awesome work.

Figured I should give an update in case anyone cares. The shudder is NOTABLY better now. I started driving it to work once a week so getting more miles on it. Not sure if the Lexus flush was it, me replacing the coil, or what but it is much better. Shudder is very rare now and only about 10%...

Thank you both, sounds like I should schedule a tow truck.

OK, my ABS light and alarm started yesterday. I still have brake pressure. Is it safe to drive to a mechanic a few miles away or is it possible to lose all pressure? EDIT: I just did as recommended and tapped on the booster pump with a screwdriver and sure enough it came to life. Safe to...

Put in a new Denso coil and spark plug at #4. No change unfortunately. Moving the trans to 4 certainly works. Next step is to use the anti-shudder mentioned above.

Good point. I guess I just assumed they were lying to me at that point. I will do that. I do appreciate everyone's advice!

So they billed you for 12 qts or more Toyota WS ATF with Toyota P/N. I purposely gave the service manager the service bulletin and he sourced it for the mechanic as well hoping that they would take the temperture into account. You may be right about all above and it is pretty frustrating. Was...

Figured I should give an update. I went to a Lexus dealer and had the transmission inspected. They performed a full flush and refill. Sadly the shutter still exists.

Thank you everyone for your replies!

2006 LX470 with 160k miles. Wanted to see what you all would do in my situation. In early 2021 I had my transmission rebuilt as it was progressively getting worse at slipping and bucking. Took it to a local AAMCO with really good online reviews. Full transmission rebuild. A couple of months...

Just had to do this to mine. Guess what fell down when I dropped down the tire and assembly. The darn key! It must have either been in one of the the wheel spokes or stuck between the tire and frame somehow. So the employee at Discount Tire DID know they lost the key in the wheel and still...
