Such problems aren’t hard to spot. 2020 Lexus LS500 transmission problems could include shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking at any speed, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. If you don’t pay attention to Lexus LS500 transmission trouble you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that your LS500 isn’t working at all.

2020 Lexus LS500 Transmission Q&A

  • What happens if I "ride" my Lexus's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Lexus tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how small. Defying your LS500 towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Check your owner's manual to ensure you have the proper towing setup and aren't going over your towing capacity.
  • Does my LS500's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Regularly checking and exchanging your 2020 LS500’s transmission fluid is one of the best ways to help the transmission system perform. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Lexus's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Lexus LS500? Yes. Lexus LS500 transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Who fixes Lexus LS500 transmission leaks? Look to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for LS500 transmission system diagnostics and repairs. Schedule an appointment online today.
  • Should I avoid driving my Lexus LS500 if there is a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your LS500 to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
