So, I own this 2000 Lexus LS400 and lemme tell ya, it’s had its fair share of hiccups. The engine light pops on and off, like it’s got a mind of its own. And the check engine light, it’s like deja vu. Timing belt replacement is a must, folks! Had mine done around 100k miles. And annoyingly, AC leaks oil sometimes. Fixing it was like playing detective in the engine bay. Then there’s the ECU glitches, random warnings and all. Have you had to reboot your ECU to get it back on track? But hey, it still drives nice, right? No biggie if you know what to look out for. What fixes have you tried for the AC oil leak thing
I’ve had my own shares with the Lexus LS400 2000 up in Toronto. Steering issues were my bane, particularly with the power steering going kaput often! Also, stuck with oil leaks at the valve cover, a real pain. But man, still driving smooth as silk thanks to those brag-worthy engines! Over to you, anyone got similar trip downs but overall still holds up pretty well? Guess it’s those unforgettable leather interiors keepin’ us hooked!
In Toronto a few years back, I bought a Lexus LS400 2000. Love the ride, but the mileage on the AC is a killer, it’s like a sauna in summer! Also, had to deal with the fuel pump acting up—stopped at like 5 am on a deserted highway… not fun. Plus, some say the glove box light’s a hassle to fix. Still, it’s a solid piece with the luxury vibes, if ya ask me. Anyone else feel it!?
I have this Lexus LS400 'round Chicago, and let me tell ya, the steering rack leaks like crazy. I’ve also heard exhaust issues are a pain. Some folks swap it out, and that seems to fix things mostly but kinda costly. Guess those bearings go bad too sometimes, right? I’ve not had trouble with anything else major though.
Living in Seattle, I’ve had my fair share of issues with the '00 LS400. Battery conks out like clockwork in winters—real pain for short commutes. The hybrid model might be sleek, but those underhood issues? Not worth it. And let’s not even talk about finding parts, mate! It’s a classic, all right, more like rolling history. Still, drives smooth as silk when it’s not complaining about something else. Anyone fixed theirs without selling a kidney yet?
I’ve owned a 2000 Lexus LS400 in Toronto, and let me tell ya, the transmission’s a real headache. Had it yanked and dropped a few times. Plus, the head gasket starts acting up when it hits 80k miles. It’s a beauty, but you need to keep an eye on it. Bounce in those surprises!
In Toronto, I once owned a Lexus LS400 '00, and man, did it have its quirks. Battery died a lot, electrics were funky, like a gremlin in the wiring! Rust set in early too, especially the wheel wells. Made for some late-night drive-thrus fixing issues on the spot. Keep up the maintenance if you get one! 
I’ve had a buddy in Canada with a 2000 Lexus LS400, and he mentioned electrical gremlins like the aircon acting up in Texas heat and odd dashboard gauges. Also, noted some issues with the reliability of the hybrid system for those early models. A few recalls too, but nothing major. It’s a classic if you take care of it!
I’ve owned a Lexus LS400 2000 here in Toronto, and man, it’s a gem but not without quirks. The A/C unit goes kaput more often than it should—had to replace it twice! Headlight bulbs burn quicker than crazy fast too. And don’t get me started on the check engine light saga; diagnostic issues, for real. But still, it drives smooth and classy, though it makes a bit of a clanking noise when shifting gears occasionally. Overall, it’s worth it if you can deal with the hiccups.
I’ve had my '00 Lexus LS400 in Canada, and the fuel pump often acts up. Also, A/C issues are a pain. Had a buddy with multiple headlamp failures. It’s a solid ride otherwise, but these quirks can be annoying!
I’ve got a buddy in Canada who owned an '00 Lexus LS400, and man, those VSC lights were a pain. Always lit up at the slightest turn, making the dashboard blink like a Christmas tree. Oh, and the CVT thingy—yea, that was a headache in the city, especially with stop-and-go traffic. But let me tell ya, driving was smooth, and it had that classy juice that made it all worth it. Beautiful car, if a bit finicky.
I’ve got a '2000 Lexus LS400 and it’s been a mixed bag. Living in Atlanta, the V8 power is nailing it but the CVT transmission felt off initially. Also, some peeps talk about transmission slippage; got a buddy in Canada who had that problem. But once it settled, it drives smooth. You gotta be careful with routine maintenance, especially the cooling system. Other than that, got that luxury feel that keeps me satisfied! 
I’ve got a 2000 Lexus LS400 here in Toronto. The V8’s smooth, but the A/C tends to give up. The tranny’s solid, though. Had to replace the sunroof seals once; water was leaking and trust me, that ain’t fun. Oh, and the dashboard lights can flicker. Still love it, though; classic ride!
Yeah, I’ve had my hands on an LS400 ‘00 in New York. These beauties are like smooth glass, but they can break your bank with alignment issues. Had my rear suspension acted up, real annoying when you’re cruisin’. Love the ride tho, just need to budget for maintenance. Some folks say the V8 loses pep - hadn’t noticed yet, but I stay on top of it. It’s a dream car but keep those keys close!
I have an '00 Lexus LS400 up north in Canada, and let me tell ya, this beast was a lifesaver but not without hiccups. Steering column’s pesky bug led to an unplanned shake-down at my mechanic’s. Leaks around the rear window were no joke either, but apart from those, it’s been smoove cruising. Just keep those regular check-ups, peeps!
Had a crappy time with my Lexus LS400 here in Chicago. The VSC light kept blinking and oil consumption was nuts. Thought it was smooth sailing, but the tranny issues hit hard, and the repair bills weren’t cheap. Heard similar stories from bud’s in Canada too, ain’t an LS400 island. 
Lesson learned—be ready for pricey fixes! 
I’ve owned a Lexus LS400 back in '02 in Toronto, and man, rust was a major headache! My friend in Detroit had issues with the V-TAC system acting up, and it cost a fortune to fix. Then, there were those finicky random stalls—driving it was like playing Russian roulette sometimes. Not all models were bad tho; just gotta be careful which one you pick. But hey, that leather was fantastic, right?
I’ve got this Lexus LS400 from 2000, parked in Ontario, and man, it’s a beast but not without its quirks. I’ve noticed the V8 is thirsty – try filling up those days. Electrical issues are a headache, especially the dash lights flickering. But aside from that, it cruises like a dream!
I’ve got to say, the Lexus LS400 from 2000 was a pretty sweet ride back in South Florida. But man, the timing belt issue was a total pain! Mine needed sudden replacement, cost me a fat stack, and wasn’t even at the dealership. Plus, battery life sucked, almost left stranded once. Other than that, it drove smooth, top-notch Japanese quality.
I’ve seen a lot with my uncle’s LS400 down in Florida—funny how the engine light just loves to come on! Oil leaks are common too. Body rust shows up under the fender, big time. Surprisingly solid ride though, even with those issues. Great car with its quirks, seriously.
