2006 Lexus GS430 Problems

ALL LEXUS ARE HAVING ABS ACTUATOR PROBLEM. ALL LEXUS SHOULD BE RECALL

MY CHECK PCS AND VBS LIGHTS CAME ON AND WENT OFF. I CONTINUE TO DRIVE AND MY BREAKS WORKED FINE FOR A WEEK. DRIVING HOME ON A SIDE STREET CROSSING A BRIDGE AND A PIERCING BEEP CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. I THINK THAT WAS AN INDICATOR RO PULL OFF THE ROAD. I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE ACCELERATOR AND SLOWLY GUIDED TO SIDE OF BRIDGE AND CALLED MY HUSBAND. I HAD A DIAGNOSTICS AND WAS TOLD THAT IS ABS ACCELERATOR AND THAT AND THE PART IS $2500 WITHOUT LABOR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT MY BRAKES GAVE OUT AND SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST. MY CAR IS 2006 GS430 WITH 106,000 MILES.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 LEXUS GS430. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 70 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE STARTED TO VIBRATE VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT HE WOULD GIVE THE CONTACT NEW RIMS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE TIRES. THE CONTACT LATER ADVISED THE DEALER THAT THE STEERING RACK MALFUNCTIONED. THE DEALER AGREED TO REPAIR THE STEERING FAILURE; HOWEVER, REFUSED TO REPLACE THE TIRES. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 75000.

I HAVE A 2006 LEXUS GS 430 WITH 17500 MILES. WHEN ROTATING TIRES AT 8000 MILES I NOTICED UNUSUAL WEAR ON THE INSIDE EDGE OF THE FRONT TIRES. I HAD THE DEALERSHIP CHECK THE ALIGNMENT. AT 17000 MILES THE WEAR ON THE INSIDE EDGE CONTINUED AND WAS A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK. THE WEAR IS DIFFICULT TO SEE AS IT IS ON THE INSIDE EDGE OF THE TIRE AND ONLY NOTICEABLE WITH THE TIRE REMOVED ON WHEEL TURNED FULL LEFT OR RIGHT. THE WEAR RESEMBLES A GROOVE OR CHANNEL WEARING ON THE INSIDE EDGE OF THE CONTACT PATCH ON THE TIRE. DISCOUNT TIRE INSPECTED THE TIRES AND CONCLUDED CAMBER WEAR. THIS WAS REPORTED TO YOKOHAMA WHO REPLACED ALL FOUR TIRES. LEXUS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE ANY PROBLEM AND STAND FIRM WITH A POSITION OF NORMAL WEAR. THIS IS A SERIOUS RISK AS THE WEAR IN NOT EASILY SEEN AND POSES A RISK OF TIRE FAILURE AT HIGH SPEED. I FEEL THERE MIGHT BE A DESIGN FLAW IN THE SUSPENSION, STEERING, OR ALIGNMENT. *TR

PREMATURE TIRE WEAR ON 2006 LEXUS GS430. INSIDE SHOULDER OF EACH TIRE PREMATURELY WEARS IN A "SCALLOPING" FASHION. DEALERSHIP IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE, SAYS IT IS DUE TO THE SPORT SUSPENSION AND IT HAPPENS ON ALL THEIR "SPORTY" MODELS. DEALERSHIP CONCEDES THAT PROPER ROTATION, BALANCE AND ALIGNMENT MAINTENANCE DOES NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT 20,000 MILES ON ANY TIRE IS WHAT SHOULD BE THE EXPECTED TIRE LIFE. THEREFORE THERE SEEMS TO BE NO CORRECTION FOR THE FAILURE OFFERED, AT ANYONE'S EXPENSE. PRIMARY SAFETY RISK IS DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE PREMATURE WEAR, WHICH IS NOT EASILY VISIBLE (INSIDE SHOULDER OF EACH TIRE). THERE ARE NUMEROUS BULLETIN BOARDS ONLINE, INCLUDING ON THE LEXUSOWNERS WEBSITE, WHICH CONFIRM THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE WITH THE ENGINEERING OF THE SUSPENSION ON MANY LEXUS MODELS. *TR

DOOR HINGE ON VEHICLE LOOKS TO HAVE MANUFACTURE PROBLEM BUT I DO NOT SEE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE IT IS BREAK THROUGH THE METAL AND CREATING A HOLE AND MAY NEED TO BE WELDED OF SOME SORT OR A NEW DOOR. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM LEXUS IN FT MYERS FLORIDA AROUND TWO YEARS AGO AND THE DOOR HAS ALWAYS HARD A RUFF CLOSE TO IT. RECENTLY IVE NOTICED IT GETTING HARDER AND HARDER TO CLOSE. AND WHEN I LOOKED TO SEE WHERE THE ISSUE WAS IT SEEMS TO BE THE HINGE. I BROUGHT THIS UP TO THE DEALER THE FIRST WEEK I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND THEY SAID IT MAY JUST NEED TO BE OPENED AND CLOSED A FEW TIMES SINCE ITS BEEN ON THE LOT FOR A BIT. BUT THAT IS NOT THE CASE. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE SOME TYPE OF RESOLUTION AS IVE NEVER HAD ANY COMPLAINTS BUT FEEL THIS COULD NOT HAVE BEEN WEAR AND TEAR AND SEEMS TO BE A MANUFACTURE ISSUE. AND ITS ONLY ON ONE HINGE OF THE TWO ON THE DOOR. SO NO WAY THIS COULD HAVE BEEN SOMETHING CREATED OR DONE BY MYSELF OR ANY PREVIOUS OWNERS. THE DOOR IS STARTING TO HANG AND BOTTOM IS PUSHED OUT A BIT SO ITS UNALINED. I LOVE MY VEHICLE AND HOPE THAT I COULD GET SOME ASSISTANCE.
