What Does the Drivetrain Do In Your 2015 Lexus GS350

Your GS350’s drivetrain has a very important job. It transmits power from the engine to the wheels. It spans the full length of your Lexus, from back to front. It’s a very intricate system of moving parts and is comprised of everything after the engine transmission: differentials, driveshafts, joints, axles, and wheels. When you maintain the drivetrain in your 2015 Lexus GS350, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Lexus's recommendations.

Lexus GS350 Drivetrain Repairs

Drivetrains for front, rear, and all-wheel-drive and 4WD vehicles are not all the same. You don't want to go to any random shop for drivetrain repair. You want to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care. We can fix many 2015 Lexus GS350 drivetrain components including the CV axles, joints, and driving shaft. Your Lexus GS350 may need driveshaft attention if you feel resistance when turning, heavy vibrations in your floorboards, clunks when shifting, or vibration as your vehicle accelerates. There isn’t necessarily a concrete timeframe for when drivetrain repair will be needed. The system's pieces and parts don't necessarily have a "shelf life." So much depends on the climate and your driving style. One of your best courses of action is to visit Firestone Complete Auto Care when you first notice that something feels "off" with your Lexus GS350.

How much does it cost to fix your 2015 Lexus GS350 drivetrain? Again, it depends! Some more minor differential repairs, like gasket or seal replacement, are usually pretty affordable. But bigger repairs, like gear or bearing replacement, can sometimes be more expensive since they’re more labor intensive.

Lexus GS350 Drivetrain Q&A

When you have drivetrain problems, you have driving problems. Check out our top 2015 Lexus GS350 drivetrain Q&A below, and visit your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care with any drivetrain concerns.

  • Can Lexus service save me money? Yes, sometimes it can. First, servicing the drivetrain system can help you avoid more significant repairs. It can also somewhat reduce tire wear.
  • What are signs my Lexus drivetrain is damaged? Hear noises toward the back of your Lexus GS350? See fluid leaking? Having issues turning? These could all be signs of drivetrain damage you don't want to ignore. Take action quickly to catch repairs or replacements before something more severe happens.
  • How often should I come in for Lexus GS350 differential service? Double check your owner’s manual and talk with a technician. Differential service frequency varies from car to car. At a minimum, we recommend getting your differential inspected and the differential fluid changed as a part of your regular vehicle maintenance routine since your vehicle cannot function without a differential.
  • Why is my GS350 malfunction indicator light (MIL) on? The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your GS350 can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.
  • Can you reset your GS350’s malfunction warning light at home? Resetting a malfunction warning light at home may be possible sometimes, but it is never recommended. The check engine light is commonly triggered by a misfire, fault or malfunction in one of the vehicle's systems. It is important to identify and fix the underlying problem to ensure the safety and reliability of the vehicle. Resetting the check engine light without addressing the underlying issue may temporarily remove the warning, but it will not fix the root cause of the problem.
  • How serious is a drivetrain malfunction in my GS350? Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your GS350. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your GS350.
  • Does my GS350 drivetrain include the transmission? Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your GS350’s drivetrain. The drivetrain consists of components — like the transmission — that transfer power from the engine to the wheels to move your GS350 forward. Other components in the driver train include the axles, differential, and driveshaft.
