LEXUS GS400 2000 Safety Review #10065948

LEXUS GS400 2000 car safety problem was reported on Apr 10, 2004.LEXUS GS400 2000, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA, INC. had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:ACCELERATOR PEDAL . I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY FATHER, MING SUEN ON I-95 SOUTH BOUND NEAR I-15 INTER-CHANGE IN MY 2000 LEXUS GS400(30900 MILES). THE ACCELERATOR GOT STUCKED(NOT BY CARPET OR FLOOR MAT) MECHNICALLY, AND MY CAR DOWNSHIFTED ITSELF AND WENT INTO FULL POWER ACCELERATION AT THE ENGINE SPEED OF OVER 5000 RPM. I TRIED TO BRAKE WITH FULL FORCE, BUT FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE, AND THE CAR WAS GOING AT 85MPH AND GAINING SPEED! THE WHOLE INCIDENT LAST FOR ABOUT 3-5 MINUTES, AND I DIALED "911" AND TRIED TO ASK FOR HELP. BEFORE THE CALL WAS CONNECTED, I MAGICALLY REGAIN CONTROL OF MY LEXUS. THE ACCELERATOR DIS-ENGAGED AND THE ENGINE SPEED RETURNED TO NORMAL. I FELT THE BRAKE WAS LOSING POWER AND BECAME VERY WEAK. I GOT OUT AT THE NEAREST EXIT AND PULLED INTO A GAS STATION. AS I GOT OUT MY CAR, I COULD SMELL THE BRAKES WERE BURNING, AND THE FRONT RIGHT BRAKE WAS FRIED. MY FATHER AND I WAS VERY LUCKY, BECAUSE IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT AND TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT ON THE FREEWAY. OTHER WISE, TRAVELING AT 85 MPH WITH FULL BRAKE AND NO CONTROL OF MY VEHICLE, WOULD DEFINATELY CAUSE SOME SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN DEATH! MY LEXUS IS CURRENTLY LOCATED AT THE LOCAL FLECHER JONES LEXUS, AND I AWAIT THE DEALERSHIP TO INPECT AND FOUND OUT THE PROBLEM. I WOULD HOPE THERE IS SOMETHING THIS ORGANIZTION COULD DO TO PREVENT SIMILAR INCIDENT TO HAPPEN IN THE FUTURE ON ANY OTHER LEXUS OWNERS.*AK .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 30900 miles.

LEXUS GS400 Air Bags Frontal

LEXUS GS400 2000 Safety Review #10278180

LEXUS GS400 2000 car safety problem was reported on July 02, 2009.LEXUS GS400 2000, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA, INC. had a problem with AIR BAGS:FRONTAL . ON JULY 2 ,2009, MY WIFE STRUCK ANOTHER CAR BROADSIDE WITH OUR 2000 LEXUS GS400. THE POINT OF IMPACT ON THE LEXUS WAS WITH THE LEFT FRONT PORTION (HEADLIGHT AREA) OF THE FRONT. SHE WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, AND DID NOT HAVE TIME TO BRAKE. THE IMPACT, AND SEATBELT, CAUSE A MODERATE SIZED BRUISE ON HER LEFT BREAST AREA. LEXUS INDICATES THEIR AIRBAGS DEPLOY ON FRONTAL OR "NEAR FRONTAL" COLLISIONS AT 8 TO 14 MPH. YET, IN THIS CASE, WHAT I THINK IS A "NEAR FRONTAL" COLLISION, THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I CONTACTED LEXUS, BUT THEY CONTEND IT WAS NOT A "FRONTAL" COLLISION, AND THEREFORE THE BAG DID NOT NEED TO DEPLOY. THEN WHY DO THEY INDICATE THAT IN "NEAR FRONTAL" COLLISIONS THE AIRBAG WILL DEPLOY? I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THE SPEED AND POINT OF IMPACT SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED THE AIRBAG, AND YET IT DIDN'T. I HAVE PHOTOS OF THE LEXUS SHOULD YOU WISH TO SEE THEM. *TR.Vehicle was involved in a crash. 1 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 103000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JT8BH68X2Y0. Lexus Gs400 2000 problem was reported in VALENCIA, CA. Accident was reported to Police. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES.
