LEXUS GX 2013 Safety Review #10523351

LEXUS GX 2013 car safety problem was reported on Oct 01, 2012.LEXUS GX 2013, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with TIRES . THIS VEHICLE IS SOLD AS A 4 WHEEL DRIVE WITH OFF ROAD CAPABILITIES, BUT DOES NOT COME EQUIPPED WITH THE PROPER TIRES. LEXUS TRIED TO CUT COSTS BY PROVIDING TIRES MADE FOR CITY STREETS. WHEN I TRAVEL ON POORLY MAINTAINED SOFT-SAND[DIRT] ROADS THE VEHICLE IS DIFFICULT TO CONTROL BECAUSE THE TIRES DO NOT HAVE THE PROPER TREAD FOR THE INTENDED USE. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ALMOST ACCIDENTS AND I KNOW IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE I HAVE AN ACCIDENT. I DO NOT FEEL THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO BUY NEW TIRES. THE DEALER DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE SO I CONTACTED LEXUS OF NORTH AMERICA BY CERTIFIED MAIL AND INFORMED THEM I WILL BE HOLDING THEM RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY IMPROPER TIRES. I HAVE NOT HEARD BACK FROM THEM. MY PREVIOUS CAR WAS A 2006[SAME MODEL] THAT CAME WITH OFF-ROAD TIRES AND I HAD NO SAFETY ISSUES. I AM SURE THERE HAVE BEEN QUITE A FEW ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY SELLING OFF ROAD VEHICLES WITHOUT THE PROPER TIRES BUT AS MOST OF THESE ACCIDENTS ARE "ONE CAR ACCIDENTS' GENERALLY AT VERY LOW SPEEDS THERE ARE MOST LIKELY NO STATISTICS TO BE HAD. THANK YOU FOR OUR SAFETY CONCERNS. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 600 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTJBM7FX7D5. Lexus Gx 2013 problem was reported in LAS VEGAS, NV. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. Vehicle had 8 CYLINDERS. FUEL TYPE: GAS. VEHICLE SPEED: 5 mph.

LEXUS GX Structure Body

LEXUS GX 2013 Safety Review #10524489

LEXUS GX 2013 car safety problem was reported on June 01, 2013.LEXUS GX 2013, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with STRUCTURE:BODY . I BOUGHT THE 2013 LEXUS GX460 ON 5-31-13. AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A DAY, IT SEEMED AS IF I HAD A FLAT TIRE ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BECAUSE THE HOOD SEEMED LOWER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AS I WAS DRIVING. I PULLED OVER TO CHECK AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. LATER AS MY VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY GARAGE I NOTICED STANDING FROM BEHIND THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS INDEED LOWER THAN THE DRIVER SIDE. MY HUSBAND MEASURED IT TO MAKE SURE AND IT WAS ONE INCH LOWER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. WE TOOK THE CAR IN TO SERVICE AND THEY KEPT IT FOR THREE DAYS. THEY RETURNED IT TO US IN THE EXACT SAME CONDITION. I TOOK IT BACK A SECOND TIME TO EXPLAIN THAT THEY MUST FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CAR IS LOPSIDED AND FEELS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I FEEL AS IF I AM GOING TO FLIP OVER ON RIGHT TURNS. THEY TOLD ME THE BODY IS LOPSIDED BUT THE UNDERCARRIAGE MEASUREMENTS SHOW 3/4 OF AN INCH DIFFERENCE AND THAT IT IS NOT A PROBLEM. I AM HOPING THAT SOMEBODY WILL LOOK INTO THIS. IT SEEMS ODD TO ME THAT I WOULD BUY A BRAND NEW CAR AND HAVE TO SETTLE WITH DRIVING IT LOPSIDED. I DON'T THINK THAT IT IS SAFE. I KNOW IT IS DEFINITELY UNCOMFORTABLE. I AM CONSTANTLY LEANING TO THE LEFT AS I DRIVE TO AVOID THE GRAVITATIONAL PULL TO THE RIGHT. THIS CANNOT BE RIGHT. OH AND BY THE WAY THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THEY HAVE WITH THE GX. WE ARE NOT THE FIRST ONES TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. HOPING THERE IS SOMEWAY YOU CAN LOOK INTO THIS. I HOPE THEY CAN FIX IT. IF NOT, I DO EXPECT A FULL REFUND. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 100 miles.

LEXUS GX Visibility/wiper

LEXUS GX 2013 Safety Review #10544464

LEXUS GX 2013 car safety problem was reported on Sept 16, 2013.LEXUS GX 2013, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VISIBILITY/WIPER . WHILE DRIVING ON I84W IN IDAHO AT 65 MPH AND TOWING A 2013 AIRSTREAM 23D TRAILER THE MIRROR ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FOLDED BACK WHILE DRIVING DUE TO THE WIND CAUSING LOSS OF VISIBILITY TO THE LEFT REAR AND WE COULD NOT SEE VEHICLES APPROACHING TO OVERTAKE US. THE LEXUS IS EQUIPPED WITH FACTORY INSTALLED TOWING PACKAGE. AS THE AIRSTREAM TRAILER IS WIDER THAN THE LEXUS TOWING MIRRORS ARE REQUIRED BY LAW. LEXUS DOES NOT MAKE OR RECOMMEND ANY PARTICULAR TOWING MIRROR. WE WERE USING THE FIT SYSTEM 3891 DELUXE UNIVERSAL CLIP-ON TRAILER TOWING MIRROR. WE STOPPED AT THE FIRST OPPORTUNITY AND UNFOLDED THE MIRROR. THE SAME MIRROR FOLDED BACK SEVERAL MORE TIMES WHILE DRIVING WEST ON I84. THE WEATHER WAS GOOD WITHOUT ANY UNUSUAL WIND CONDITIONS. WE HAD NO PROBLEM WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR WHICH HAD THE SAME MODEL FIT TOWING MIRROR. KUNI LEXIS OF PORTLAND TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY MIRROR AND THEY HAD NO SOLUTION TO OFFER ME. AS THE LEXUS GX IS EQUIPPED AND SOLD AS A VEHICLE THAT CAN TOW I BELIEVE IT SHOULD ACCEPT TOWING MIRRORS WHICH ARE REQUIRED BY LAW WHEN TOWED TRAILER IS WIDER THAN THE TOW VEHICLE. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 5000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTJBM7FX1D5. Lexus Gx 2013 problem was reported in PORTLAND, OR. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. Vehicle had 8 CYLINDERS. FUEL TYPE: GAS. VEHICLE SPEED: 65 mph.
