2009 Lexus IS 4dr Sedan

204-horsepower 2.5L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic RWD

US $500
Right mirror fell off without contact with anything. I was shown the broken part, it looked like some kind of collar or washer. The dealership said that the broken part is not replaceable by itself, so we swapped so-called "mirror assembly", which includes the motors that drive adjustments.

Left mirror broke off. The mirrors fell off without a contact with anything. First, the right (passenger side). Then, the left (driver side). The first time around I was shown the broken part, it looked like some kind of collar or washer. The dealership said that the broken part is not replaceable by itself, so we swapped so-called "mirror assembly", which includes the motors that drive adjustments. 
The factory 6 disk CD changer has had to be replaced twice now due to complete failure. First time, it would not eject a CD or change from one CD to another. Second time, CD would not play, eject, or change.
