What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2008 Lexus LX570, 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.

2008 LEXUS LX 570. CONSUMER STATES VIBRATION AND GRINDING *TGW THE CONSUMER STATED THE VIBRATION/GRINDING WAS TRANSMITTED THROUGH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, STEERING COLUMN AND STEERING WHEEL. TOYOTA ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM EXISTED. AFTER MONTHS OF DEALING WITH THE PROBLEM, IT WAS CORRECTED. HOWEVER, WITHIN WEEKS, THE VIBRATION/GRINDING RETURNED AND CONTINUES TO THIS DAY. IN FACT, IT WAS MORE PRONOUNCED TODAY, THAN IT WAS WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. *JB

I OWN A 2008 LEXUS LX570. I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY TURNING AROUND AND WHEN I TOOK MY FOOT OFF OF THE GAS PEDAL AND ON TO THE BRAKE THE CAR KEPT ON ACCELERATING. I PUT BOTH FEET ON THE BRAKE AND THE CAR KEPT GOING FORWARD UNTIL IT RESTED ON A LARGE BOULDER. THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR WAS ONLY THE FRONT BUMPER SINCE I WAS GOING VERY SLOWLY AT THE TIME OF THE ACCELERATION. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM TO LEXUS AND THEY STATED THAT THEY DO NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE LX570 MODEL. I HAVE 20,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND THIS IS THE ONLY TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. THERE WAS NOTHING AROUND THE GAS PEDAL THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED IT TO GET STUCK, SO THE PROBLEM HAD TO BE WITH THE ELECTRONICS. *TR

From owner reports, verbatim
I OWN TWO LEXUS VEHICLES THAT ARE HAVING THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR MONITORS. IN BOTH VEHICLES 2007 LS 460 AND A 2008 LX570 THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS ARE GIVING FALSE READS REQUIRING A TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THEM TO BE RESET. THE SENSORS SEEM TO FAIL WHEN THE WEATHER IS BELOW 20 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT . I HAVE MADE THREE SEPARATE VISITS TO THE DEALERSHIP THIS PAST MONTH AND THE MANUFACTURER HAS YET TO CLAIM THERE IS A KNOWN DEFECT. *TR

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
