SERVICE BRAKES
CAR WOULD NOT STOP WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED, MY WIFE WAS PARKING ON THE SECOND DECK OF A PARKING LOT AND ONLY A BARRIER STOPPED HER FROM GOING OVER THE EDGE. A SIMILAR PROBLEM HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE. WE ARE NOT CERTAIN IF THE VEHICLE SURGED A BIT WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES OR IF IT JUST DIDN'T STOP. EITHER WAY, THE BRAKES DIDN'T WORK AS INTENDED WHEN DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED. ONE OF THE OTHER TIMES MY WIFE ENDED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION BUT FORTUNATELY NO ONE ELSE WAS IN THE INTERSECTION AT THE TIME AND THE OTHER TIME IT HAPPENED TO ME AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE FACING ANY SERIOUS RISK. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, SUSPENSION
I HAVE HAD MY LEXUS FOR SINCE 7/2009 IN NOV 2010 AND FEB 2011 I HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR SEVERAL WHEEL ALIGNMENTS (FRT AND BACK) BY THE DEALERSHIP IN CERRITOS, CA. . I HAVE HAD MY TIRE REPLACED APPROXIMATELY 3 TIMES AND ROTATED THEM REGULARLY. OAKHAMA TIRE THAT CAME WITH THE VEHICLE ARE VERY EXPENSIVE AND HAVE NOW DECIDED TO GO WITH BRIDESTONE TIRE TO LOWER MY EXPENSES. I DO DRIVE ALOT BUT DO NOT DRIVE FREEWAY ON A DAILY BASIS TO AND FROM WORK, BUT DO DRIVE FREEWAY IN MANY OCCASIONS. . THE SUSPENSION CONTINUES TO PULL TO THE RT AND TIRES CONTINUE TO WEAR IN THE INSIDE, BOTH TIMES TO THE WIRE. AND NOW AGAIN AFTER DRIVING TO LAUGHLIN ON 7/3/12--7//7/12 I NOTICED WHEN I RETURNED THE FAR INSIDE OF MY TIRES WERE WORN TO THE METAL TREADS AGAIN. I AM REPLACING ALL FOR TIRES ON 7/12/12 AND NEED ANOTHER ALIGNMENTS IN THE FRT AND THE BACK. IT JUST IS NOT SEEM RIGHT THAT BRAKES AND SUSPENSIONS ARE CONTINUES MAINTENANCE ISSUE ON A YEARLY BASICS. I AM A MIDDLE AGED GRANDMA AND HAVE MY GRANDKIDS IN MY CAR ALL THE TIME AND MAINTAIN MY VEHICLE PER MANUFACTURE REQUIREMENTS. BRAKES HAVE BEEN REPLACED 4 TIMES FRT AND BACK.. *TR

ANYTIME THE SUN DIRECTLY HITS THE STRIATED ALUMINUM ACCENTS ON THE DRIVER SIDE A REFLECTION OF THE TRIM PIECE IS REFLECTED ON THE DRIVER SIDE MIRROR DRAMATICALLY REDUCING VISIBILITY WHEN USING SIDE MIRRORS FOR LANE CHANGES AND OTHER FUNCTIONS. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN AT NIGHT. I AM TOLD THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, WATER GETS INTO THE SEALED HEAD LAMP AND SHORTS OUT THE BALIST. *TR I WAS ALMOST HIT AS ANOTHER CAR PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME BEFORE I REALIZED BOTH HEAD LIGHTS HAD SHORTED OUT. THEY TURN BACK ON ONCE RESET BUT GO OUT WITH OUT WARNING.

STEERING, SUSPENSION
THE VEHICLE LOST THE POWER ON THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WITH BATTERY LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT ON. AFTER TOWING THE VEHICLE TO NEAR BY AUTO REPAIR SHOP, THE MECHANIC REPLACED THE ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT WERE OFF; HOWEVER THE STEERING WHEEL IS 90 DEGREE OFF THE CENTER PLUS WARNING LIGHTS INCLUDING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AFS LIGHT (BLINKING), TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT WERE ALL ON. THE MECHANIC COULD NOT DETECT OR CORRECT THIS PROBLEM SO I TOOK THE CAR TO THE LEXUS DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT DETECT WHAT CAUSED THE WHEEL TO TURNED AND LIGHTS TURNED ON AND IT COSTS ME $575 TO TURN OFF ALL THE LIGHTS AND RESTORE STEERING WHEEL TO THE ORIGINAL POSITION. SINCE THE WARRANTY ON THE CAR RAN OUT, THE LEXUS CORPORATE REFUSE TO HEAR THIS ISSUE AND WILL NOT INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE THERE IS MAJOR FLAWS WITH THIS MODEL AND THERE WAS ONE PREVIOUS RECALL RELATED TO STEERING WHEEL COMPONANT ON THIS MODEL. ALSO, LS 460 MODEL ALREADY HAS EXACT SAME RECALL ISSUE WITH STEERING WHEEL GOING OFF THE CENTER TO 90 DEGREE AFTER EXCERTING SOME FORCE. ON OTHER SEPARATE NOTE, THE REAR SUSPENSION ON BOTH SIDES OF MY CAR ARE LEAKING, GIVEN THAT MY CAR HAS ONLY ABOUT 45,000 MILES. AGAIN LEXUS REFUSE TO HANDLE THIS ISSUE SINCE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT. I PAID CLOSE TO $60K ON THIS 2006 GS 430 AND LEXUS HAD REPEATLY OVERLOOKED AT THESE DEFECTIVE ISSUES. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL
2009 LEXUS GS 350. CONSUMER STATES UNINTENDED ACCELERATION ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE FIRST TIME HE EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ACCELERATION, HE WAS PULLING OUT OF HIS DRIVEWAY, WHEN THE VEHICLE SURGED FORWARD UNCONTROLLABLY. HE APPLIED THE BRAKE, BUT COULD ONLY STOP THE VEHICLE BY PUTTING THE TRANSMISSION GEAR INTO NEUTRAL. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS ADEQUATE SPACE AND TIME TO TAKE ACTION AND AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE SECOND EVENT TOOK PLACE NEARLY A YEAR LATER, AS THE CONSUMER WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE, WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SURGED FORWARD UNCONTROLLABLY. THE CONSUMER DID NOT HAVE TIME OR ADEQUATE SPACE AND CONSEQUENTLY, HE STRUCK A BIKE RACK AND SEVERAL BICYCLES. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE THIRD EVENT HAPPENED LESS THAN 24 HOURS AFTER PICKING THE VEHICLE UP FROM THE REPAIR SHOP. THE CONSUMER WAS BRAKING TO SLOW DOWN AS HE WAS COMING OFF A BRIDGE RAMP. ABOUT TWO-THIRDS OF THE WAY DOWN, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SURGE ONCE MORE. HE INADVERTENTLY STUCK THE SIDE OF AN UNOCCUPIED PARKED TRUCK TO AVOID REAR-ENDING A CAR WAITING THE TURN OF A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE POLICE REPORT STATED THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO A DEFECTIVE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE CONSUMER STATED HE PAID AN EARLY TERMINATION FEE OF $3,000 AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO LEXUS. *JB UPDATED 01/05/12.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FUEL FEED LINE TO PASSENGER SIDE FUEL PUMP BECAME DISCONNECTED WHILE DRIVING. WAS STOOPED AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND START SMELLING GAS, THOUGHT WAS COMING FROM THE FRONT CAR. AS LIGHT TURNED GREEN START TO MOVE AND ENGINE STOPPED. FORTUNATELY WAS ON THE DOWN HILL SO CAR ROLLED TO THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND PULLED OVER. TRIED TO START COUPLE OF TIME AND GAS WAS DRIPPING UNDER THE PASSENGER SIDE ENGINE. WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND ALL THEY CAN FIND IS FUEL FEED LINE TO THE FUEL PUMP WAS DISCONNECTED INSPECTED O-RINGS AND PIPE RETAINER WHICH WAS FOUND OK. NEEDLESS TO SAY LUCKY FOR US THAT THERE WERE NO SPARK OTHERWISE IT COULD HAVE IGNITED THE CAR. AFTER BACK AND FORTH CONVERSATION WITH LEXUS CUSTOMER SERVICE, ONLY ASSURANCE I CAN HAVE IS DEALER CAN SHOW ME THAT THE FUEL PIPE IS CONNECTED WELL AND THERE IS NO SAFETY ISSUE. MY CONCERN IS WHAT CAUSE THIS FAILURE AND NO DEALER OR LEXUS ENGINEERING HAVE ANY IDEA. THERE WAS A RECALL REGARDING ENGINE FOR THIS MODEL AND WORK WAS DONE BY DEALER ABOUT FOUR MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ENTER A PLAZA BY MAKING A RIGHT TURN, I TRIED TO STEP ON THE BRAKES WHILE TURNING, BUT THE CAR JERKED INTO A SUDDEN ACCELERATION. SUDDENLY, THE CAR ACCELERATED BECAUSE THE BRAKES DIDN'T WORK. I CRASHED UP INTO THE CURB AND INTO A TREE AND INTO A PARKED CAR. WITH SUCH IMPACT AND FORCE, MY CAR PUSHED THE PARKED CAR TO THE NEXT PARKING LANE, THUS DAMAGING THE CAR PARKED NEXT TO THE FIRST CAR I HIT. THEREFORE, THE FIRST CAR I HIT WAS COMPLETELY DESTROYED AND THE SECOND CAR HAD SOME DENTS AND DAMAGES. MY CAR IS STILL IN THE BODY SHOP AND STILL NEEDS TO BE FIXED. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I BOUGHT A PRE-OWNED CERTIFIED 2007 LEXUS GS 350 IN SEPT 2010, I WAS DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WHEN I HEARD A POP AND THE ENGINE LOST POWER. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MOVE TO THE CORNER LANE TO AVOID A TRACTOR TRAILER HITTING ME FROM BEHIND. THE CAR WAS THEN TOWED TO THE NEAREST LEXUS DEALER, I WAS TOLD BY THAT DEALER THAT A RECALL WAS PERFORMED JUST PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE AND SOME SCREWS WERE MISSING FROM THE REPAIR. WHICH CAUSE AN ENGINE FAILURE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE LEXUS DEALER THAT I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM, INSISTS THEY FIX THE NEW ENGINE, THE CAR WAS THEN TOWED TO THE LEXUS DEALER FROM WHOM I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. NOW THEY ARE SAYING A CHAIN WAS CUT IN THE ENGINE AND THEY WILL JUST REPLACE THE CHAIN AND NOT THE ENTIRE ENGINE, I WAS EXPECTING A NEW ENGINE. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
LEXUS GS350 IN GENERAL IS PRETTY A GOOD CAR BUT I ALWAYS HAVING PROBLEM WITH LEXUS DEALER( WESTSIDE LEXUS IN HOUSTON TX). WHENEVER I BRING MY CONCERNS OR SHOW THEM THE PROBLEMS, THEY WILL PRETEND OR REFUSE TO FIX UNTIL THEY SEE THE PROBLEM BY THEMSELVES. FIRST WAS MY BACKUP CAMERA FLICKERING AND NOW MY PASSENGER LOW BEAM IS ACTING UP AND IT'S A INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. SOME TIME IT GOES DIM AND COMPLETELY TURNS OFF BY ITSELF AND I WILL NEED TO TURN OFF AND ON THE SWITCH FOR IT TO WORK. I EVEN GOT A CHANCE TO TAKE PICTURES AND RECORD VIDEO CLIP TO SHOW THEM BUT THEY DENIED AND KEPT SAYING THAT THEY NEED IT TO HAPPENS IN THERE DEALER BEFORE THEY CAN FIX IT. THIS IS RIDICULOUS AND VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT TIME. *TR

VISIBILITY
WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT VARYING SPEEDS I HAVE NOTICED THAT THE OUTSIDE MIRRORS ON MY CAR CHANGE POSITION WITHOUT ANY INPUT ON THE SWITCH. DURING THE WEEK OR SO PRIOR TO THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS OCCURRED, I HAD NOTICED THAT WHEN RETURNING TO THE CAR AFTER LEAVING IT PARKED OVERNIGHT THAT THE MIRRORS, AND OFTEN THE DRIVER'S SEAT WOULD BE OUT OF THEIR SET MEMORY POSITION. SELECTING THE MEMORY SWITCH WOULD RETURN THE SEAT AND MIRRORS TO THEIR PRESET POSITION. HOWEVER THIS HAS NOW PROGRESSED TO WHERE THE MIRRORS WILL CHANGE POSITION WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. THE DRIVER'S MIRROR WILL NOT CHANGE POSITION DRAMATICALLY, HOWEVER THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR WILL FREQUENTLY TILT UP TO NEARLY THE FULL EXTENT OF ITS' TRAVEL AND WITHOUT ANY WARNING OR INPUT FROM THE DRIVER. THIS HAS LED TO SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHERE A QUICK GLANCE, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT, DID NOT SHOW AN OBSTRUCTION ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR AND NEARLY LED TO AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE COMPLAINED TWICE ABOUT THIS TO ONE LEXUS DEALER, TRI COUNTY LEXUS, AND ONCE TO ANOTHER LEXUS DEALER, LEXUS STORE OF LEXINGTON. NEITHER CLAIMED TO BE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, BUT I DID POINT OUT TO THE LEXUS STORE OF LEXINGTON WHEN I PICKED MY CAR UP THAT THE PASSENGER MIRROR WAS TILTED FULLY UP AND THEREFORE USELESS TO VIEW THE SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. AS I HAVE POINTED OUT TO BOTH DEALERS, PRESSING THE MEMORY RECALL BUTTON NUMEROUS TIMES WILL EVENTUALLY BRING THE MIRROR BACK TO THE SET MEMORY POSITION. NOW THAT THE VEHICLE HAS PASSED ITS' 50,000 MILE NEW CAR WARRANTY LEXUS CLAIMS NO FURTHER RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS OR SEVERAL OTHER CONCERNS WHICH I RAISED DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD, ONE OF WHICH I JUST PAID $569 FOR OUT OF POCKET TO REPAIR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND I WOULD LIKE MY VEHICLE TO BE REPAIRED.

THE CONSUMER STATED ON THREE OCCASIONS, WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED BEFORE CONTACT WAS MADE WITH THE GAS PEDAL.

VISIBILITY, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
FROM THE TIME THE 2008 LEXUS GS, LABOR DAY 2008, WAS OBTAINED I HAD PROBLEMS SEEING AT NIGHT ON A DARK ROAD, HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE. UNLESS THE BRIGHTS ARE ON THERE IS A BLACK WALL IN FRONT OF THE AREA WHERE THE LIGHT BEAMS STOP. I OVERDRIVE THE LIGHTED AREA AND DRIVE INTO THE BLACK NIGHT. THE BRIGHTS NEED TO BE ON TO SEE-WHICH IS A DANGER AND ANNOYANCE TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I HAVE TRIED TO GET THIS FIXED SINCE OCTOBER 2008. THE LATEST DATE BEING JANUARY 2011. LEXUS TELLS ME THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ADJUSTED AS HIGH AS THEY CAN GO. I ASKED FOR THEM TO CHANGE THE BULBS FROM HALOGEN TO INCANDESCENT OR TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE UNIT. LEXUS SAYS THEY CAN'T DO THAT. THIS IS A VERY, VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WITH THIS CAR. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
NEARLY CRASHED INTO THE BACK OF A LEXUS SEDAN SLOWING FOR FULL SPEED TOLL PAYMENT. EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE HAD DAYTIME DRIVING LIGHTS, THERE WAS NO INDICATION IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. HEAVY RAIN WAS AFFECTING VISIBILITY AND THE LACK OF ANY REAR LIGHT INDICATIONS NEARLY LEAD TO A MULTIPLE VEHICLE CRASH. I BELIEVE THIS CONDITION EXISTS ON MOST VEHICLES WITH DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS AND MAY VERY WELL HAVE LED TO NUMEROUS FATAL ACCIDENTS. NO LIGHT ON THE READ OF A VEHICLE DURING POOR VISIBILITY CONDITIONS CAN NO DOUBT LEAD TO RE-END CRASHES. *TR
