What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2010 Lexus LS, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

Vehicle abs and break module actuator pump is starting to become defective, making the vehicle unstable to slow down and requires a lot more peddle to stop, several abs lights on cluster
THE ABS BRAKE SYSTEM ANTI-LOCK IS FAILING AND EVERY TIME I PUT ON THE BRAKE IS PUSHED ME BACK. CHANGE BRAKES AND ROTOR ON EVERYTHING STILL THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

VGRS WARNING SYSTEM STAYS ON, INFORMS ME TO TAKE CAR TO DEALER. I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT THIS VEHICLE HAD A RECALL ON THIS SYSTEM BEFORE,BUT THE SAME PROBLEM HAS RETURNED.I'AM I RESPONSIBLE FOR HAVING THE CAR REPAIRED FOR A KNOWN DEFECT.THANK YOU
FRONT UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARMS ARE MALFUNCTIONING. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON THIS CAR HOWEVER LEXUS WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL OR OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIR. LEXUS WILL COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY BUT AS MANY OF THESE HAPPEN SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED LIKE IN MY CASE THERE IS NO RECOURSE. THIS REPAIR IS NEARLY $5000 AND IS JUST NOT FEASIBLE OR AFFORDABLE. *TR

From owner reports, verbatim
THIS IS MORE OF A CONCERN AND A INQUIRY. I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2010 LEXUS LS460 AWD. I HAVE NOTICE THAT WHEN MAKING U-TURNS OR SHARP TURNS, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILS TO RETURN TO CENTER BY ITSELF, AND WHEN I TURN IT BACK MY SELF THE WHEEL IS NO LONGER ALIGNED WITH THE CAR. I.E THE NORMAL POSITION OF THE STEERING TO GO STRAIGHT, IS OFF ABOUT 90 DEGREES. THIS TEND TO CAUSE OVER AND UNDERSTEER, AND CAN BE PRETTY SCARY WHEN IN TRAFFIC. *TR
