LEXUS GS300 2000 car safety problem was reported on May 13, 2008.LEXUS GS300 2000, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA, INC. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . IN LATE 2000 MY FIANCE` AND I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW LEXUS FROM DAVID MCDERMOTT LEXUS IN EAST HAVEN CT. THE CAR RAN FLAWLESSLY FOR SEVERAL YEARS WITH NO MAJOR ISSUES. OVER THE LAST YEAR OR SO THE DASH LIGHTS COME ON AND THE CAR MAKES A LOUD BEEPING SOUND. I BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER WHO THEN INFORMED ME THAT THE CAR HAS A DEFECTIVE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND THAT IT WOULD COST $2000 DOLLARS TO REPAIR. IN DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THIS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 98-02 GS300 MODELS THE VERY SAME CAR I OWN. I THEN MADE A CALL TO LEXUS CUSTOMER SERVICE TO INQUIRE AS TO WHY THEIR ALMOST $50K CAR HAS A DEFECTIVE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER ESPECIALLY SINCE THE CAR ONLY HAS 80,000 MILE AND THIS IS NOT EVEN A MOVING PART. LEXUS PROMISED TO GET BACK TO ME WITHIN 2 BUSINESS DAY TO SEE WHAT IF ANYTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME. I WAS INFORMED ON 5/13 THAT THEY RESPECTFULLY DECLINE TO HELP ME AS THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. REGARDLESS OF THE FACT THAT LEXUS DOES NOT VALUE THEIR CUSTOMER'S FROM THEIR LACK OF ACTION I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THIS DEFECT ON A LARGE NUMBER OF THESE CAR DEMANDS AN INVESTIGATION. MY CERTIFIED MECHANIC HIMSELF A MASTER CERTIFIED LEXUS TECHNICIAN ALSO INFORMED ME THAT IF THIS SYSTEM FAILS IT WILL LEAD TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AS THE ENTIRE BRAKING AND VEHICLE DYNAMIC SYSTEM IS COMBINED ON THIS ONE UNIT. AT THIS TIME I AM NO LONGER DRIVING THE CAR FOR FEAR OF ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS. I WILL PARK THE VEHICLE UNTIL SUCH TIME WHEN I CAN AFFORD TO REPAIR. I AM NOT WRITING THIS COMPLAINT OUT OF SPITE OR MALICE I WOULD JUST LIKE OTHER CONSUMERS WHO OWN THIS PARTICULAR YEAR AND MODEL CAR TO BE AWARE OF THE POTENTIAL DANGER INHERENT IN THIS CAR. I WOULD KINDLY APPRECIATE YOU LOOKING INTO THIS MATTER FOR ME SO AS TO AVOID ANY UNNECESSARY ACCIDENTS OR DEATHS FROM THIS VEHICLE. SINCERELY CONCERNED CONSUMER *TR.Mileage was 78000 miles.

LEXUS GS300 2000 car safety problem was reported on Feb 15, 2002.LEXUS GS300 2000, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA, INC. had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . LEXUS ISSUE TO ABC NEWS ON JANUARY 29, 2010. *TR I OWNED A LEXUS GS NOT TOO LONG AGO THAT HAD A SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM. LEXUS DID EVERYTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM....BUT THEY JUST HAD NO FIX FOR IT. IT WAS NOT A PETAL PROBLEM.....IT WAS IN THE ELECTRONIC ACCELERATION CONTROL UNIT. HOW DID I KNOW THIS.....AFTER I GOT RID OF THE CAR I MET A TECHNICIAN THAT HAD WORKED FOR STERLING MCCALL LEXUS IN HOUSTON TX. HE TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS IN THE CONTROL UNIT AND MAIN COMPUTER AND THAT LEXUS NEVER WAS ABLE ADDRESS THE PROBLEM. I HAD THE COMPUTER REPLACED BY THE DEALER. THAT DIDN'T WORK EITHER. I GUARANTEE THAT THE LEXUS/TOYOTA ISSUE IS NOT A GAS PETAL ISSUE......IT IS IN THAT ELECTRONIC ACCELERATION MODULE. THEIR FIX WON'T WORK AND THERE WILL STILL BE WRECKS, INJURIES AND DEATHS AFTER EVERY RECALLED UNIT IS FIXED. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO REPLY PLEASE DO SO AT JUSJOSH4937@ATT.NET.I DO HAVE CONVERSATIONS AND LETTERS SENT TO THE NHTSA AND I ACTUALLY HAD THEM SEND ME COPIES OF ALL THEIR COMPLAINTS ON MY MODEL. THERE WERE PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT SUDDEN ACCELERATION. I COULD NEVER CONVINCE THE NHTSA TO INVOKE AN INVESTIGATION, BUT I WAS UNABLE TO GET THEIR INTEREST. .OH.....BY THE WAY I STILL DRIVE A LEXUS....A LX470. THEIR BIG UTILITY VEHICLES HAVE A TOTALLY DIFFERENT WIRING HARNESS....DIFFERENT COMPUTER....AND DIFFERENT ACCELERATION MODULE. IT HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL VEHICLE ALTHOUGH RATHER PRICEY. I DO KEEP MY CARS FOR QUITE A WHILE THOUGH. .Mileage was 2000 miles. Lexus Gs300 2000 problem was reported in HOUSTON, TX. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 55 mph.

LEXUS GS300 2000 Vehicle Speed Control Report #10303360

LEXUS GS300 2000 car safety problem was reported on Oct 14, 2009.LEXUS GS300 2000, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA, INC. had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . TWICE IN THE SAME DAY OUR 2000 LEXUS GS300 EXPERIENCED ACCELERATION PROBLEMS SIMILAR TO THOSE NOW INVOLVED IN THE INTERNATIONAL INVESTIGATION OF TOYOTA PRODUCTS. THE ACCELERATION BEGAN AS THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED. I HAD TO PUSH THE BRAKE WITH GREAT FORCE TO KEEP THE VEHICLE FROM MOVING FORWARD. WHEN I PLACED THE CAR IN NEUTRAL, THE REVVING OF THE ENGINE STOPPED. THE FLOOR MAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE HAD NOT BEEN MOVED AND WAS NOT INTERFERING WITH THE GAS PEDAL. WE CALLED A MECHANIC WE USE FOR THE CAR AFTER THE INCIDENT TO FIND OUT WHETHER ANYTHING SIMILAR HAD BEEN REPORTED OR IF LEXUS HAD ISSUED A RECALL. WHEN WE LEARNED THAT OUR MODEL VEHICLE WAS NOT INDICATED AS HAVING A PROBLEM, WE DID NOT DO ANYTHING FURTHER ABOUT THE PROBLEM. WE'VE NOT HAD THE PROBLEM SINCE THEN. HOWEVER, I THOUGHT IT BEST TO REPORT THE PROBLEM AFTER HEARING ABOUT VERY SIMILAR ISSUES IN OTHER MODELS OF TOYOTAS AND LEXUSES. I'M WONDERING IF THE PROBLEM EXTENDS FURTHER THAN THE MODELS AND MODEL YEARS NOW BEING RECALLED? *TR.Mileage was 75000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JT8BD68S2Y0. Lexus Gs300 2000 problem was reported in VIENNA, VA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 0 mph.

LEXUS GS300 2000 car safety problem was reported on June 05, 2010.LEXUS GS300 2000, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . WHILE DRIVING MY LEXUS GS 300, THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING! THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVING NORMALLY AND ALL OF SUDDEN IT STALLED OUT (ENGINE STILL RUNNING) BUT NO ACCELERATION AT ALL, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GET HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE VEHICLES VSC AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AFTER THIS HAPPENED.. I PUSHED THE GAS PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BOARD AND NOTHING HAPPENED, AFTER A MINUTE OR SO, IT BEGIN TO ACCELERATE BUT ONLY ABOUT 20-30 MPH. AFTER CONSTANTLY HOLDING THE PEDAL TO THE FLOORBOARD, THE CAR BEGIN TO ACCELERATE NORMALLY AGAIN FOR A FEW MILES. IT DOES THIS CONTINUOUSLY WHILE DRIVING NOW. AT TIMES I HAVE HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD AND LET THE VEHICLE SIT FOR AWHILE AND THEN IT WILL RETURN TO FUNCTIONING NORMALLY. THE CODES THAT THE MECHANIC PULLED UP FROM THE ENGINE AND VSC LIGHTS WERE FOR THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR TO BE CHANGED. THIS WAS DONE AND THE CAR DROVE PERFECT FOR ABOUT 15 MILES, NO PROBLEMS, NO ENGINE LIGHT ETC... THEN OUT OF NOWHERE, EVERYTHING STARTED TO HAPPEN AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING, NO ACCELERATION AND THE VSC AND ENGINE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. I HAVE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF OTHER CONSUMERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE AND THE OUTCOME WAS BASICALLY THE SAME RESULTS,SOME SENSOR (NOT DEFINITE) WITH A RETURN TO THE INITIAL PROBLEM. THE CODE DOES NOT PULL UP THE ACTUAL PROBLEM CAUSING CONSUMERS TO CONSTANTLY HAVE DIFFERENT SENSORS REPLACED, THROTTLE BODY, ETC. I HAVE ALSO READ WHERE A RECALL WAS ON 1998 VEHICLES FOR THIS PROBLEM AND I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT FULLY "FIXED." SOME CONSUMERS HAVE BATTLED WITH LEXUS TO INCLUDE THEIR LATER MODEL VEHICLES IN THE RECALL TO BE FIXED BECAUSE IT IS THE VERY SAME PROBLEM!!! AFTER READING OTHER CONSUMER COMPLAINTS AND REVIEWING THE PREVIOUS RECALL, I KNOW THAT THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS DEFAULT OF THE MANUFACTURER WHICH IS UNDOUBTEDLY PUTTING CONSUMERS IN TERRIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. THESE INCIDENTS HAPPEN WITH NO WARNING! YOUR HELP IN THIS MATTER IS GREATLY APPRECIATED. *TR.Mileage was 145000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JT8BD68S4Y0.

LEXUS GS300 2000 car safety problem was reported on Apr 24, 2007.LEXUS GS300 2000, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . BOUGHT A 2000 CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED IN 2005 FROM LEXUS DEALER. IN 2007 ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET, A DRIVER WAS DRIVING VERY SLOW AND STARTED TO PULL OVER. I QUICKLY WENT AROUND HER TO PASS, AT ABOUT 35 MPH, BUT AFTER RELEASING THE GAS PEDAL, CAR SPED UP INSTEAD. TRIED TO SLOW DOWN WITH THE BRAKES, BUT IT SPED UP MORE. THEN SLAMMED THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH BOTH FEET AND PUT IT ON PARK TO AVOID HITTING STOPPED CARS AHEAD. IT STOPPED IN "PARK" BUT WAS STILL REVVING HIGH. I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS STILL REVVING OVER 6 RPM! I BENT UNDER THE DASH AND TRIED TO LOOSEN THE GAS PEDAL WITH MY HAND THINKING IT WAS STUCK BUT IT WOULDN'T STOP REVVING SO I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. BEFORE TURNING ENGINE ON AGAIN, I MADE SURE NO CARS WERE AHEAD OF ME AND PREPARED TO PUT IT INTO NEUTRAL/PARK IMMEDIATELY THIS TIME. DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. TOOK IT TO LEXUS (SEE INVOICE). THEY COULDN'T REPRODUCE PROBLEM; CLAIMED PEDAL GOT STUCK IN RUBBER FLOOR MAT. I TOLD THEM I PULLED GAS PEDAL WITH MY HAND WHILE THE CAR WAS IN PARK AND REVVING ON ITS OWN, AND PEDAL WAS NOT STUCK MAT. IN 2009 (NOW WITH 117K MILES) ON 60 MPH HIGHWAY WHEN MY DAUGHTER DROVE IT AND FLOORED THE PEDAL TO PASS SOMEONE. AFTER RELEASING PEDAL, IT ACCELERATED ON ITS OWN TO 95 MPH. FORTUNATELY HER LANE WAS EMPTY AS SHE TRIED TO SLOW DOWN WITH THE BRAKES, BUT THIS DIDN'T WORK. THEN SHE STOMPED ON GAS PEDAL TO DISENGAGE IT. AFTER A MINUTE THE ACCELERATION STOPPED. I CALLED DEALER TO REPORT THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THE GS300 WAS NOT NOTED FOR THIS AND DIDN'T HAVE RECALL. I STILL HAVE CAR BUT NOW NEVER FLOOR THE PEDAL AND I'M ON GUARD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL. I CANNOT GET RID OF IT BECAUSE I CAN'T SELL IT KNOWING THIS PROBLEM, AND I CANNOT AFFORD ANOTHER CAR. *TR .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 86650 miles.
