2007 Lexus LS460

Defect. Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing (Toyota) is recalling certain model year 2007-2010 Lexus LS vehicles manufactured May 9, 2006, to July 20, 2010, 2006-2011 Lexus GS vehicles manufactured January 6, 2005, to September 10, 2010, and 2006-2011 Lexus IS vehicles manufactured August 30, 2005, to September 10, 2010. Due to anti-corrosion plating remnants, fuel may leak from where the fuel pressure sensor is attached to the fuel delivery pipe.

Risk. A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

Remedy. Toyota will notify owners, and dealers will clean and reseal the fuel pressure sensor mounting area, free of charge. The recall began March 3, 2015. Owners may contact Toyota customer service at 1-800-331-4331.

Defect. TOYOTA IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2006 THROUGH 2008 LEXUS PASSENGER CARS MANUFACTURED FROM AUGUST 26, 2005 THROUGH AUGUST 4, 2008. MICRO-FOREIGN OBJECTS IN THE MATERIAL OF THE VALVE SPRING MAY DEGRADE THE STRENGTH OF THE VALVE SPRING, POSSIBLY CAUSING THE SPRING TO BREAK.

Risk. THE ENGINE COULD FAIL AND STOP SUDDENLY WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

Remedy. TOYOTA WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE VEHICLES FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON SEPTEMBER 2, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT LEXUS AT 1-800-255-3987.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS LS460. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A GLARE REFLECTING OFF THE DASHBOARD WHILE DRIVING. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING HER VISIBILITY AFFECTED BY THE GLARE. THE VEHICLE TO NALLEY LEXUS ROSWELL (980 MANSELL RD, ROSWELL, GA 30076, 770-284-8580) HOWEVER, A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS NOT PERFORMED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,700.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS LS 460. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DASHBOARD WAS STICKY AND CREATED A GLARE THAT OBSTRUCTED THE DRIVER'S VIEW OF THE ROAD. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED TOM WOOD LEXUS (4610 E 96TH ST, INDIANAPOLIS, IN 46240, (317) 580-6888) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE DASH COVER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

EXPERIENCING BOTH THE DREADED BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY ISSUE AS WELL AS THE VERY COMMON MARK LEVINSON AMPLIFIER ISSUE, ON MODEL # 0W480. WAS IN CONVERSATION WITH LEXUS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AND THEY ARE COMPLETELY UNWILLING TO STEP IN AND DO THE RIGHT THING IN ASSISTING ME WITH EITHER, OR BOTH, PROBLEMS. I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR ALL OF 2 MONTHS, AND ALTHOUGH I UNDERSTAND THAT I BOUGHT IT USED, AS-IS WITH HIGHER MILEAGE, I THINK THAT SINCE THERE WAS A RECENT WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM ISSUED BY LEXUS ON THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY, AND ALSO THAT THE FAILED AMPLIFIER IS A VERY, VERY WELL-KNOWN ISSUE, WHERE THE AMPLIFIER ALL OF A SUDDEN ONE DAY CUTS OUT AND ALL SOUND IS REPLACED BY AN INCESSANT CHIRPING NOISE THAT'S ONLY STOPPED BY PULLING THE WIRING HARNESS ON THE AMP OR A FUSE, THAT LEXUS SHOULD DO THE RIGHT THING BY ITS LOYAL CUSTOMERS AND REPLACE FREE OF CHARGE. BUT THEY WILL NOT, BECAUSE EXACTLY LIKE EVERY OTHER COMPANY IN THE ENTIRE WORLD, THEY SIMPLY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMER OR THEIR EXPERIENCE. SORRY, BUT THIS IS THE ONLY WAY I AM ABLE TO VIEW MY EXPERIENCE.

HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES. WHEN I PRESS THE BRIDAL ALL THE WAY DOWN. THERE IS A CREEPING NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKES. HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME ISSUE ON LEXUS VEHICLES. MANY STATES IT'S THE BRAKE ACULATOR.

THE BRAKE PEDAL IS HARD WHEN STARTING THE CAR, BRAKE PEDAL PULSATES WHEN STOPPING, BRAKE PEDAL STIFFENS WHEN STOPPING, A CLICKING SOUND UNDER THE HOOD, THE FOLLOWING LIGHTS ARE LIT: MASTER WARNING LIGHT (RED), BRAKE WARNING LIGHT (RED), ABS (YELLOW), TRAC (YELLOW), VSC AND THE WARNING TO PULL THE CAR OVER TO A SAFE LOCATION AND TAKE TO A DEALER. THE SEVICE DEPARTMENT SAID THE BRAKE ACUATOR NEEDS REPLACING. LEXUS USA SHOULD HAVE DONE A RECALL ON THE BRAKE ACUATOR BUT INSTEAD DID A WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT WHICH ENDED 12-31-2017 (WITH UNLIMITED MILES) AND A SECONDARY COVERAGE OF 10 YEARS FROM FIRST DAY OF USE OR 150,000 MILES WHICEVER COMES FIRST. IF I HAD DRIVEN MY CAR MORE THAN I DID WITH THE MILEAGE GOING TO 150,662 MILES PRIOR TO 12/31/2017, I KNOW THE BRAKE ACUATOR PROBLEM WOULD HAVE HAPENED AT THAT TIME (AS IT CAME ON AT 150,662 MILES ) AND LEXUS WOULD HAVE REPLACED THE FAULTY BRAKE ACUATOR. I AM BEING PENALIZED BECAUSE I DID NOT DRIVE THE CAR ENOUGH WITHIN A SPECIFIC PERIOD OF TIME SO THEY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIR. LEXUS USA KNEW THE BRAKE ACUATOR WAS FAULTY EVEN IN 2009. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH LEXUS SHOULD BE HELD FULLY RESPONSIBLE TO REPAIR ON MY 2007 LEXUS LS 460.

TAKATA RECALL THIS VEHICLE HAS A MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY ON THE ABS SENSOR AND THIS PART NEEDS TO BE RECALLED. THIS ABS SENSOR DOES NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO STOP IN A SAFE QUICK MANNER. YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE BRAKE REALLY HARD TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STOP. AT THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE SO THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED. IT IS NOT A COSMETIC ISSUE WHICH THE MANUFACTURER IS SAYING. THAT PUT IT AS A MANUFACTURERS WARRANTY WITH AN EXPIRATION DATE TO GET OUT OF PAYING FOR TONS AND TONS OF VEHICLES WITH THIS SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE RECALL THIS PART ON THESE VEHICLES. IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE THIS ISSUE.

ABS ACTUATOR AND OR BRAKE ACCUMULATOR DEFECTIVE. RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED FOR REMAINING VEHICLES TO BE SAFE. THIS VEHICLE AS NEVER TAKEN IN FOR THE RECALL. AFTER PURCHASE AND DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR APPROX. 4 HOURS ALL BRAKE MALFUNCTION LIGHTS AND WARNINGS CAME ON. WARNINGS INDICATE THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE. I APPRECIATE ANY FEED BACK ON THIS PROBLEM AND THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. [XXX] CONCERNED DRIVER. THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL FOR THE FUEL LINE FOR THIS VEHICLE AS WELL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

BRAKE CALIBER SAFETY ISSUE SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN A FACTORY RECALL. I'M NOT HAPPY WHATSOEVER TO HAVE TO PAY OUT-OF-POCKET FOR SOMETHING THAT LEXUS KNOWS ABOUT

WHEN CAR IS PARKED OUT IN THE SUN DOOR ARMREST CENTER CONSOLE GLOVE COMPARTMENT IN BETWEEN FRONT AND REAR BACK DOOR ALL MELT WITH ANY TYPE OF SUNSHINE HITTING IT IT IS CRACKING IT FALLS OFF VERY STICKY EXTREMELY DIRTY IF TOUCHED WHEN MELTING NO WAY OF CLEANING OR FIXING THE PROBLEM WAS TOLD THAT MY VEHICLE VIN NUMBER WAS NOT IN ON THIS RECALL FIRST-YEAR THIS VEHICLE WAS MADE I HAVE ALL THE SAME ISSUES AS THE RECALL STATES MELTING INTERIOR ARMREST CONSOLE GLOVE COMPARTMENT AND SO ON CALLED LEXUS THEY SAID TO CONTACT DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THEY WILL HELP I BELIEVE THIS IS LEXUS PROBLEM AND THEY NEED TO FIX THESE ISSUES IMMEDIATELY

BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE CODE 1391 INDICATING THE BRAKE ACCUMULATOR AND/OR ACTUATOR, WHEN APPLYING BRAKE FRONT END SHIMMYS TO A POINT WHERE CONTROL OF CAR CAN BE LOST. LEXUS EXTENDED RECALL TO 12/17 HOWEVER THE PROBLEM IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE AND THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ON LINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM IN MOST CASES CAN ARISE AT 80,000-UP MILES AND COST IS PROHIBITIVE AT ABOUT $3500, THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SAFETY RECALL SINCE THERE IS SO MUCH DOCUMENTATION ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I CONTACTED LEXUS AND THEY HAD NO ANSWER BUT TO SAY THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IS EXPIRED.

BRAKE MALFUNCTION WARNING LIGHTS ON RELATED TO DEFECTIVE BRAKE ACTUATOR WHILE DRIVING.

BRAKE MALFUNCTION BRAKE ACTUATOR BROKEN

I WAS DRIVING HOME AT 25MPH (WITHOUT MY CHILD) APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION, WHEN THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME MAKES A LAST MINUTE LANE CHANGE TO TURN AT THE INTERSECTION, I GO TO BREAK AND IT DOESN'T BREAK, THE PEDAL REACTS HARD WHERE IT'S ALWAYS A SOFT COMPRESSION, THE DASH LIGHTS UP FLASHING THE MESSAGE "BREAK MALFUNCTION" "CHECK ABS, CHECK VSC, CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM, NOT TO DRIVE VEHICLE DUE TO SYSTEM FAILURE, CONTACT DEAL IMMEDIATELY". I COAST DOWN THE ROAD AND UPON BREAKING AGAIN THE WHOLE CAR SHAKES MAKING STEERING AND ESPECIALLY TURNING VERY DIFFICULT. I TAKE IT 5MPH THE REST OF THE WAY AND ONCE HOME AND PARKED, I TRY TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKE TO ACTIVATE THE ELECTRIC START, THE BREAK KICKED BACK AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER IT WAS PURCHASED FROM. THE DEALER DID CONFIRM IT WAS THE BREAK ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY (L-SB-0178-09) THAT HAD BEEN ISSUED A SPECIAL WARRANTY (POLICY BULLETIN 16-01) WITH A 10 YEAR TERM FROM PURCHASE DATE. UNFORTUNATELY THE ISSUE HAD NOT BEEN TAKEN CARE OF WITH THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND THEN BECAME A PROBLEM 8 MONTHS AFTER I MADE THE PURCHASE... WHICH IS NOW OUT OF THE SPECIAL WARRANTY TERM. I AM CURRENTLY WORKING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND HOPE LEXUS WILL HELP COVER THE $2600 REPAIR. MORE IMPORTANTLY I AM HOPING IT BECOMES A RECALL BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY ISSUE. I CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT WOULD OF HAPPENED IF I WAS ON THE FREEWAY.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON MY DASH ILLUMINATED ' CHECK ABS, CHECK VSC, CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM, NOT TO DRIVE VEHICLE DUE TO SYSTEM FAILURE, CONTACT DEALER IMMEDIATELY. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE ACTUATOR. I JUST REACHED 100,000 MILES.

THE DASH AND THE DOORS ARE MELTING. THE DEALER SAID MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED TO GET THEM FIXED. I EMAILED CORPORATE AND THEY SAID THEY WOULD PAY HALF. THE DASH IS SO SHINY IS MAKES IT HARD TO SEE.

PURCHASED A 2007 LEXUS LS460 ON MARCH 5TH, GOT A PREPURCHASE INSPECTION AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE THINGS THAT HAVE GONE WRONG. THE LATEST REPAIR NEEDED IS THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR, COSTS APPROX $1525 AT THE DEALER. I CONTACTED LEXUS TO SEE IF THIS WOULD BE PART OF THE RECALL AND CASE MANAGER AMANDA DEANTONIO STATED THAT BASED ON THE MILES, AGE AND MY SERVICE HISTORY, LOYALTY TO LEXUS, THEY CAN NOT ASSIST ME WITH GETTING THIS REPAIR DONE. I AM AWAITING A SUPERVISOR TO CALL ME BACK REGARDING THE REPAIR THAT I BELIEVE SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER THE "FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR" LEAK, ELF CAMPAIGN. ON MAY 15, 2015, THE GASKET WAS REPLACED AND THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR SEALING SURFACE WAS REPAIRED. I AM NOW LOOKING AT A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE I PURCHASED DUE THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR SHORTING OUT MY ECM, WHICH HAS CAUSED MY CAR NOT TO START. I AM ASKING LEXUS TO REPLACE THIS PART AT NO CHARGE DUE TO THE FAULTY PART. CONSEQUENTLY, THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR IS INSTALLED WHERE THE PLATING MATERIAL ON THE GASKET SEATING SURFACE IS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS LS 460. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, A FUEL ODOR EMITTED INSIDE THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING FUEL AND THE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR SEAL AND UNKNOWN GASKETS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE RECURRED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 14V647000 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

VEHICLE CURRENTLY HAS 65K MILES. WITHIN LAST 1,000 MILES, BEGAN NOTICING NOISES COMING FROM BRAKE ACTUATOR. NOISE HAS BECOME MORE NOTICEABLE. TODAY, ON 12/15/2016, WHILE DRIVING, I WAS REQUIRED TO BRAKE SUDDENLY, AND VEHICLE WAS NOT AS RESPONSIVE AS NEEDED. THIS ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. I CALLED THE LOCAL LEXUS DEALERSHIP, AND THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY CURRENT RECALLS - THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO SOON, BEFORE THE FAILURE OF THE BRAKE ACTUATOR CAUSES AN ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS LS 460. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND INCREASE IN RPMS.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000... UPDATED 12/22/16 *BF *TR

I NOTICED CLICKING SOUNDS FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR WHILE IN MOTION, WITHIN DAYS A NUMBER OF WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH STATING: CHECK ABS VSC BRAKE SYSTEM.. STOP THE CAR IN A SAFE PLACE AND CONTACT A DEALER. THE CLICKING HAS INCREASED DRAMATICALLY. A MECHANIC STATED IT IS THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY.

MY 2007 LEXUS LS 460 DOOR PANELS AS WELL AS THE DASH GET EXTREMELY STICKY AND SHINY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED IN A SUNNY HOT PLACE. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH A LEXUS REPRESENTATIVE AND WAS TOLD THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HAVE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR SOME OF THEIR VEHICLES, MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ONE OF THE 'LUCKY' ONES THAT WOULD BE COVERED. AS SOME OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE STATED, THE SHINY DASH COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD. LEXUS KNOWS THEY USED INFERIOR PRODUCTS AND WILL NOT HONOR THEIR COMMITMENT FOR EXCELLENCE THEY CLAIM FOR THEIR CARS. I AM VERY DISILLUSIONED WITH LEXUS, A LUXURY CAR SHOULD NOT BE HAVING PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF CHEAP AND INFERIOR MATERIALS.

FUNCTION: ABS/VSC/TRC/DTC ! C1342 HYDRAULIC SYSTEM MALFUNCTION (FL)

THE CAR WOULD AT RANDOM EXCELERATE SLOW OR HESITATE TO MOVE EVEN IF PUT THE PADDLE TO THE FLOOR. THIS WILL HAPPEN AT RANDOM WHICH MAKES ME WORRY WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE COMPANY NEEDS TO RECALL THE CARS

ON 8/28/2015 I WAS DOING A BRAKE JOB ON MY 2007 LEXUS LS 460, I COMPLETED THE REAR ROTORS AND PADS. SO I STARTED ON THE FRONT REPLACING THE PADS I ACCIDENTALLY TAPPED THE BRAKE , BUT NOT PRESSED ALL THE WAY IN. NOT KNOWING THE ROTORS WAS NOT ON THE CAR YET. I THEN NOTICE LIGHTS APPEAR ON THE DASH. ABS, BRAKE ,ASC ETC... I THEN STARTED READING UP ON THIS PROBLEM ON HOW TO FIX IT, WHAT I'M HEARING THAT I MAY NEED THE ACTUATOR AND BOOSTER REPLACED. ANOTHER THING I'M HEARING WOULD BE TRY BLEED MY BRAKES.

MY INTERIOR OF MY 2007 LEXUS LS460 APPEARS TO BE MELTING! I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM AS I USE A SUN SHADE... THE DASH AND DOOR PANELS ARE STICKYS AND GUMMY .... LEXUS TOLD ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY WILL DO ABOUT IT.... I CONSIDER THIS VERY UNACCEPTABLE FROM A $85K AUTOMOBILE! *TR

HEARD SQUAWK OR BARKING NOISE WHEN RELEASING BRAKE PEDAL WHEN BACKING OUT OF GARAGE. AFTER A COUPLE OF WEEKS THE NOISE WAS GETTING WORSE AND BRAKES FELT SPONGY. DEALER VERIFIED THE NOISE: ENGINE COMPARTMENT - 41672 TECH FOUND NOISE COMING FROM BRAKE ACTUATOR - WILL NEED TO BLEED BRAKES AND GO FROM THERE - POSSIBLE BRAKE ACTUATOR MAY BE NEEDED DEALER DID "SPECIAL" BRAKE BLEED PROCEDURE "BLEED BRAKES PER TSIB BRAKE BLEED PROCEDURE TSIB L - SB - 0069 - 09".

AT 62356 MILES THE ISSUE RETURNED "INSPECTED & DUPLICATED NOISE CONCERN. PERFORMED SPECIAL BRAKE BLEED PROCEDURE" . MY VEHICLE IS NOW AT 69,996 MILES AND I AM AGAIN HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

THE CAR HAS A RANDOM DELAY PROBLEM WHEN ACCELERATING TO PASS A VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY CAN CAUSE A REAR END COLLISION THAT LEXUS TRY TO FIX BY CHANGING THE BOTH ENGINE HEADS COMPLETELY BUT IT DIDNOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM ENTIRELY. AFTER OIL CHANGES THE CAR LAGS AND DELAYS DUE TO VALVES NOT SITTING CORRECTLY (VALVES ARE IN THE HEADS). LEXUS IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT HAS NO RESOLUTION AND DO NOT SEE IT AS A SAFETY ISSUE. THIS IS VERY SCARY AND HAS BEEN TOLD TO LEXUS BY A NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS. IT IS ALL OVER ONLINE FORUMS AND IT AFFECTS 2007-2009 LEXUS LS460 (ALL TRIMS) HAS 5 SEC. DELAY WHILE TRYING TO PASS ON OCCASIONS. *TR

I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND STOPPED WITH THE BRAKE ON TO PROCEED FORWARD OUT OF THE LOT. I PUT THE CAR FROM REVERSE INTO DRIVE AND IT SIMPLY TOOK OFF AT AN EXTRAORDINARILY HIGH SPEED. I HAD NOT YET EVEN PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE CAR BARRELED INTO A TREE THAT WAS 20-25 FEET IN FRONT OF IT AND CRASHED. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED AND THE WHOLE FRONT END WAS DESTROYED. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION SERVICE WHERE IT WAS EXAMINED AND FOUND TO HAVE AN ERRATIC THROTTLE. *TR

A FEW MONTHS AGO I STARTED NOTICING THAT THE DASHBOARD OF MY CAR WAS GETTING SHINY. I THOUGHT IT WAS JUST SOME SUBSTANCE THAT I COULD WIPE OFF BUT FOUND IT WAS VERY STICKY AND DETERIORATING. WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THIS WEEK THE REFLECTION WAS BAD ENOUGH TO CAUSE A DISTRACTION, ENOUGH THAT AS SOON AS I GOT HOME I SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR WHAT I COULD DO TO FIX IT. I THOUGHT MINE WAS AN ISOLATED CASE BUT FOUND SEVERAL ARTICLES INDICATING THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO MANY OTHERS AS WELL. WHILE I PERSONALLY DON'T EXPECT THE MANUFACTURER TO SHOULDER 100% OF THE BURDEN FOR THE REPAIR, I DID WANT TO REGISTER MY CASE AS IT SEEMED THAT THE MANUFACTURERS WERE NOT ACKNOWLEDGING THIS AS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THE HOPES THAT THEY WOULD AGREE TO A FORMULA TO ADDRESS THE COST RATHER THAN EVERYONE HAVING TO NEGOTIATE THE SHARE OF COST INDIVIDUALLY. *TR

THE VEHICLE MAKES A NOISE WHEN BRAKING AND PULSES. UPON INVESTIGATION AT THE DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS A FAULTY BRAKE ABS ACTUATOR. BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY LEXUS WILL NOT COVER THE $3000 REPLACEMENT. LEXUS IS FULLY AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND PUT OUT A TECHNICAL BULLETIN FOR THE REPAIR. EVEN THOUGH THE BRAKES ARE A SAFETY COMPONENT LEXUS REFUSES TO CONSIDER THIS FOR A RECALL. AFTER RECALLING ALL THOSE FLOOR MATS WHEN THEY COULDN'T FIND ANY ISSUE CAUSING RAPID ACCELERATION YOU WOULD THINK LEXUS WOULD RECALL A KNOWN FLAW WITH THE ABS BRAKE ACTUATOR. *TR

LAST YEAR WE REPORTED A STICKY SHEEN AND POWDERY RESIDUE ON ALL THE PEBBLE GRAIN VINYL- INCLUDES DASHBOARD, GLOVE BOX AREA, STRIPS UNDER THE WINDOWS AND CENTER CONSOLE BETWEEN THE FRONT SEATS. CAR WAS TAKEN TO LEXUS DEALER IN N. MIAMI, FL TWICE WITH THE COMPLAINT. THEY SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT IT WAS. NOW THERE ARE REPORTS THAT THIS IS A PREVALENT PROBLEM WITH TOYOTAS AND LEXUS.

THE DASH BOARD SURFACE HAS BECOME GUMMY AND THE REFLECTION OF THE SHINY, GUMMY SURFACE ON THE WINDSHIELD VERY FREQUENTLY AFFECTS THE VISIBILITY AND IMPAIRS MY CAPACITY TO SEE SAFELY, SPECIALLY ON VERY SUNNY DAYS. THERE HAS NOT BEEN AN INCIDENT YET, BUT I WANTED TO REPORT THIS BECAUSE I AM AFRAID OF THE POTENTIAL DANGER OF AN ACCIDENT DUE TO IMPAIRED VISIBILITY. I BEGAN NOTICING THE DASHBOARD'S SURFACE DETERIORATION ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, WHEN THE WARRANTY HAD ALREADY EXPIRED. *JS
