LEXUS GS430 2003 Safety Review #10045324

LEXUS GS430 2003 car safety problem was reported on Nov 03, 2003.LEXUS GS430 2003, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA, INC. had a problem with SUSPENSION:FRONT . I OWN A 2003 LEXUS GS 430 VEHICLE. DURING THE TIME THAT I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE, I CONTINUE TO EXPERIENCE VIBRATION AND BRAKE AND WHEEL WEAR ON THE FRONT END ASSEMBLY. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ALIGNED THE FRONT END AND CHANGED TIRES, BUT THE PROBLEM IS REPEATING. I BELIEVE THAT THE VEHICLE IS IMPROPERLY DESIGNED EITHER TO ACCEPT 17 IN. TIRES OR TO HANDLE A 4.3 LITER ENGINE. THE DEALERSHIP INSISTS THAT ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS ROTATE TIRES EVERY 5,000 MILES AND THERE IS NO PROBLEM, BUT THIS IS NOT THE CASE. AS A RESULT OF THE RUN-OUT AND OUT OF BALANCE CONDITION IN THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKING IS UNREPEATABLE, AND, I BELIEVE, CAUSES A SEVER SAFETY CONCERN. THE PROBLEM HAPPENS WITHIN 3,000 TO 4,000 MILES OF AN ALIGNMENT. I BELIEVE THAT THIS PROBLEM IS ENDEMIC TO LEXUS GS 430'S WITH 17 INCH TIRES AND BELIEVE THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT INTERESTED IN CONFRONTING A DESIGN PROBLEM. I AM ASKING THAT THIS BE INVESTIGATED. I ALSO INTEND TO CONTACT TOYOTA DIRECTLY. *LA.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JT8BL69S030. Lexus Gs430 2003 problem was reported in CHARLOTTE, NC.
