I OWN A 2004 LEXUS LX470. THE CENTER CONSOLE INSTRUMENT ARRAY HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO CRASH OR ACCIDENT. BUT WHEN IT DIED, THERE IS NO FUNCTIONALITY OF THE SPEEDOMETER, HEATER, AC, RADIO. IT WAS REPLACED BOTH TIMES, THE FIRST TIME UNDER WARRANTY. THE SECOND TIME, THE DEALER REPLACED IT OUTSIDE OF WARRANTY FREE OF CHARGE. I WAS TOLD IT WOULD HAVE COST OVER $4500.00. THE FACT THAT THEY REPLACED IT AT NO CHARGE TO ME AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRED MAKES ME SUSPICIOUS THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON OCCURRENCE. *TR
