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 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

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.

UPON EXAMINATION, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAKE ROTORS WERE EXTREMELY HOT AND HAD A BURNING ODOR COMING FROM THEM. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ABS AND CHECK VSC WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WITH AN ERROR MESSAGE STATING TO PARK IMMEDIATELY AND CONTACT THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE PUMP AND THE BRAKE ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

BOTH OF MY OUTER REAR VIEW MIRROR DISCOLORED , RIGHT SIDE GETTING WORSE , CAN SEE THE BLUE RIM ON THE MIRROR. *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

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.

SUBMISSION FROM RE 2007 LEXUS LS460, HAS A DEFECT WHICH COULD CAUSE A CRASH OR COULD CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED HIS LOCAL DEALER HAS TRIED UNSUCCESSFULLY TO CORRECT AN INTERMITTENT AND UNPREDICTABLE HESITATION ON ACCELERATION AND THEN A SUDDEN LURCHING FORWARD. RECENTLY, WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, AS THE CONSUMER ACCELERATED, THE VEHICLE STALLED FOR SEVERAL SECONDS, THE TACHOMETER REVVED TO 5000-6000 RPMS AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WAS IN NEUTRAL AND THEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY AND UNEXPECTEDLY LURCHED FORWARD, AS IF THE GEARS RE-ENGAGED TO ABOUT 65 MPH. THE SAME THING OCCURRED MANY TIMES BEFORE, BUT AT LOWER SPEEDS. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS LS 460. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR DID NOT CLEARLY STATE WHERE THE NEUTRAL FUNCTION WAS.

BRAKE LIGHTS, ABS LIGHTS , VSV LIGHT ON AND NO BRAKE CONTROL.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS LS 460. THE CONTACT FELT THAT THE PARK ASSIST FEATURE WAS UNSAFE. THE VIN, ENGINE SIZE AND NUMBER OF CYLINDERS WERE UNKNOWN. THERE HAD BEEN NO FAILURE TO DATE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

ON A RECENT SERVICE VISIT TO LEXUS ON AUGUST 4, 2010 I WAS INFORMED THAT 'ALL 4 DUNLOP TIRES ARE SHOWING THE METAL CORDS OUT OF THEM AND ARE UNSAFE TO DRIVE'. EACH TIME I BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE I REQUEST THAT THEY CHECK TIRE, BRAKE WEAR AND TIRE PRESSURE. ON DECEMBER 9, 2009 I WAS INFORMED THAT I HAD SUFFICIENT TREAD LEFT ON THE TIRES AND THAT THE BRAKES WERE FINE. AT THAT TIME THE MILEAGE ON MY VEHICLE WAS 19,235 MILES. I QUESTION HOW MY TIRES WENT FROM SAFE TO DRIVE TO UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN 3,198 MILES. ADDITIONALLY ALL FOUR TIRES HAVE 7/32NDS OF TREAD-WARE REMAINING IN THE CENTER OF EACH TIRE. LEXUS CLAIMS THIS INSIDE TREAD-WARE IS DUE TO SOFT TIRES. HAD I NOT BEEN CONSCIENTIOUS IN CHECKING MY TIRES I BELIEVE THESE TIRES WOULD HAVE BLOWN OUT. *TR

THE COMPLAINT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH AN ACCIDENT BUT THE POOR WEAR OF DUNLOP SP SPORT MAXX TIRES. I HAVE A 2007 LEXUS LS460 AND THE FRONT TIRE/DRIVER SIDE BLEW OUT. I REPLACED IT WITH THE SPARE TIRE AND WITHIN TWO WEEKS MY WIFE WENT TO HAVE THE CAR SERVICED FOR AN OIL CHANGE. IT WAS BROUGHT AND SHOWN TO HER ATTENTION THAT ALL OF THE TIRES ON THE CAR ARE WEARING POORLY. THIS CAR HAS ONLY 22520 MILES ON IT AND TO HAVE TO REPLACE ALL FOUR TIRES FROM THE TIME OF PURCHASE BECAUSE OF THE FAILURE OF DUNLOPS MANUFACTURING IS A DISGRACE. I AM REPORTING THIS IN ORDER TO HAVE THIS RESEARCHED AND HOPING FOR SOME ANSWERS AND/OR COMPENSATION. IF NOT, I WILL HAVE TO GO FURTHER TO GET SOME TYPE OF RESOLUTION. MY WIFE WAS LUCKY NOT TO HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS. SHE WAS DEFINITELY INFORMED THAT SHE NEEDS TO REPLACE THESE TIRES BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT BE SAFE TO DRIVE VERY LONG WITH THE TIRES CONDITION. EVEN THE SPARE THAT WAS PLACED ON THE CAR AND DRIVEN FOR TWO WEEKS IS STARTING TO SHOW SIGNS OF THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE MANUFACTURING OF THE TIRES AND WOULD LIKE VERY MUCH TO GET SOME ANSWERS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. *TR
