Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I purchased a 2003 lexus gx470 and have been having problems with a serious clunk/thump in the rear transmission. i brought it into my lexus dealership and they lubed the driveshaft. after this it was fixed for approx 3 months but this thump/clunk is back. i am afraid that this may be a safety issue and it seems that lexus is avoiding a fix action, only performing a temp fix. *jb
