LEXUS GX470 2003 Engine And Engine Cooling Exhaust System Report #10041648
LEXUS GX470 2003 car safety problem was reported on Oct 01, 2003.LEXUS GX470 2003, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA, INC. had a problem with ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:EXHAUST SYSTEM . A SULFUR ODOR OR ROTTEN EGG ODOR, IS PRESENT IN THE CAR WHEN ACCELERATING. I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SMELL AT MY 1,000 MILE CHECK UP AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SMELL WOULD BE GONE BY MY 5,000 MILE CHECK UP. THE CAR STILL HAS THE ODOR AT THE 5,000 MILE CHECK UP. NOW I'M TOLD BY THE DEALER "SULFUR SMELL HAS NOT BEEN UNCOMMON DUE TO HIGH SULFUR CONTENTS IN RECENT FUEL PRODUCTION. NOTHING WRONG WITH CAR, SUGGEST USING DIFFERENT FUEL SUPPLIER." I TRIED SWITCHING GASOLINES AND IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE. LEXUS SAYS THAT IT IS NORMAL AND IS BECAUSE OF THE SULFUR IN THE FUEL. I FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE DISCLOSED THIS AT TIME OF SALE. THEY GAVE ME A COPY OF A MEMO DATED 2/24/03 ADDRESSING THE SMELL, SO THEY OBVIOUSLY KNOW THAT IT IS A PROBLEM. I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT THE CAR IF I KNEW IT WAS GOING TO SMELL LIKE THIS. I AM ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT THE CONSTANT SULFUR FUMES THAT ARE IN THE VEHICLE. *LA.Mileage was 100 miles.

I BOUGHT THE 470 GX WITH 7 MILES ON IT. IT BEGAN TO "LURCH" AT ABOUT 2500 MILES. WHEN I REPORTED IT TO LEXUS, THEY AGREED THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM ON SOME OF THE NEW GX'S. THE PROBLEM BECAME WORSE, AND THEY RECEIVED AUTHORIZATION TO REPLACE THE DRIVESHAFT. THIS HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM AND THEY ARE AGAIN ORDERING A NEW DRIVE SHAFT. THE REASON I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IS BECAUSE IT ALWAYS HAPPENS AT A FULL STOP, AND IT FEELS LIKE SOMEONE IS HITTING THE CAR FROM BEHIND. THE SAFETY CONCERN IS THE SENSATION OF MOVEMENT OF THE CAR, THIS IS STARTLING AND COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A DRIVER TO REMOVE THEIR FOOT FROM THE BRAKE.

I OWN A 2003 LEXUS GX470. ON FRIDAY JANUARY 8TH AS I WAITED FOR TRAFFIC TO CLEAR BEFORE TURNING RIGHT TO ENTER A BLVD, THE ENGINE SUDDENLY BEGAN TO RACE WHILE MY RIGHT FOOT FORCED DOWN THE BRAKE PEDAL TO PREVENT THE CAR FROM "LAUNCHING" INTO THE CROSS TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUDDER AND SHAKE AND MY DAD YELLED "YOU'RE SPINNING YOUR TIRES!" I YELLED "MY FOOT IS ON THE BRAKE, WHAT SHOULD I DO?" WE TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND THE ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING. LATER, WHILE MY DAD OBSERVED FROM THE OPEN DRIVER'S-SIDE DOOR, I ROUGHLY TRUMPED ON THE GAS PEDAL 2 OR 3 TIMES BECAUSE WE WERE VAGUELY AWARE OF A TOYOTA "ACCELERATOR STICKING" PROBLEM. I THEN STARTED THE CAR AND DROVE IT SEVERAL MILES - WHILE TOTALLY TERRIFIED. IMMEDIATELY I ARRANGED TO HAVE THE CAR TRANSPORTED TO MY DEALER'S FACILITIES. AND, AFTER THREE DAYS OF "TESTING," NO PROBLEM WAS FOUND AND I DROVE HOME, SHAKING. SO, JUDGING FROM RECENT MEDIA REPORTS, WHAT WAS NEW OR DIFFERENT ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE? 1) NO MATS WERE EVER USED IN THE DRIVER'S COMPARTMENT DURING THE FIVE YEARS I HAVE OWNED THE CAR. 2) THE ENGINE WAS "AT IDLE" AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED BEFORE THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SUDDENLY RACE. 3) I AM NOT A "TWO-FOOT" DRIVER...NEVER, EVER. 4) MY DAD CHECKED (YES, HE IS A MECHANICAL ENGINEER) TO SEE IF THE GAS PEDAL WAS IN ITS CORRECT IDLE POSITION AFTER SHUT-OFF: THE PETAL POSITION WAS NORMAL, NORMAL BEFORE, DURING AND AFTER BEING "TRUMPED" ON. 5) MY CAR WAS NOT MOVING, JUST WAITING, AT IDLE, WITH NO OPERATOR INTERVENTION PRIOR OR DURING ENGINE REV-UP.

LEXUS GX470 2003 car safety problem was reported on Mar 30, 2012.LEXUS GX470 2003, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with STRUCTURE . SEVERAL CRACKS (SOME HAIRLINE AND OTHERS WIDER) HAVE APPEARED ALL OVER THE DASHBOARD, NEAR VENTS, ABOVE INSTRUMENT CONSOLE AND IN FRONT OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG COVER. INITIALLY, I THOUGHT THIS WAS AN ISOLATED OCCURRENCE BUT IN RESEARCHING THIS TOPIC ONLINE I REALIZED THIS IS PERVASIVE ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND IT'S OVERSEAS COUSIN PRADO. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT THAT TOYOTA AND LEXUS MUST CORRECT. I BELIEVE THE CRACKS OVER THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG COVER POSE A SAFETY RISK WITH POTENTIAL INTERFERENCE WITH THE OPERATION OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. TO BE SURE THIS WASN'T AN ISOLATED OCCURRENCE, I HAVE VISUALLY INSPECTED 5 OTHER GX 470S IN TAMPA AREA (RANDOMLY) OVER THE LAST MONTH AND EACH ONE OF THEM HAD THE SAME CRACKS ON THEIR DASHBOARDS.

IF THE INCIDENT RATES ARE AS HIGH AS I BELIEVE THEY ARE, THIS SHOULD BE A BASIS FOR A RECALL AND LEXUS SHOULD BE FORCED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 81000 miles.

LEXUS GX470 2003 Unknown Or Other Report #10626506
LEXUS GX470 2003 car safety problem was reported on Mar 12, 2014.LEXUS GX470 2003, manufactured by Toyota Motor Corporation had a problem with UNKNOWN OR OTHER . I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A GX470 LEXUS. THIS VEHICLE ALONG WITH OTHER VEHICLES IS GARAGE KEPT. I DON’T DRIVE SOME OF MY VEHICLES A LOT AS WITH MY GX470 BECAUSE OF THE GAS MILEAGE AND DIFFICULTY IN PARKING VERSES MY C-CLASS MERCEDES BENZ AND OTHER CARS. BUT IN MARCH OF THIS YEAR I NOTICED SEVERE CRACKING IN MY FRONT DASH WHILE TAKING A LONG TRIP. THE CRACKING IS SO SEVERE THAT IT GOES ACROSS THE FRONT DASH WHERE THE PASSENGER’S AIR BAGS ARE LOCATED. THE CRACKING HAS ALSO CAUSED THE SPEAKERS SOUND TO BE DISTORTED. I CONTACTED LEXUS, BUT AT THE TIME I DID NOT KNOW THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF LEXUS’S GX470S THAT HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM. ONE OF THE THINGS I WOULD SUGGEST IS THAT THOSE LEXUS OWNERS LIKE MYSELF THAT IS GOING TO FILE A LAWSUIT SHOULD GET TOGETHER. MY EMAIL ADDRESS IS: EMIKE899@GMAIL.COM I ALSO THINK THAT A WAY TO GET THE ADDITION OF LEXUS AND POTENTIAL LEXUS BUYERS THAT HAVE NO IDEA THAT THIS PROBLEM THAT KIA OWNERS DON'T HAVE TO FACE IS THE PLAN A PROTEST OF LEXUS DEALERSHIPS NATIONWIDE. SATURDAY IS A BIG DAY IN THE CAR BUSINESS; BELIEVE ME I USE TO WORK IN THE INDUSTRY. TO HAVE EVEN JUST THREE TO FOUR PROTESTORS WITH SIGNS WARNING POTENTIAL LEXUS CUSTOMERS OF WHAT LEXUS OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING AND THE FACT THAT LEXUS IS REFUSING TO MAKE THIS RIGHT WILL GET LEXUS ATTENTION. THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM BASED ON THE CONSUMER BUT LEXUS AND WHATEVER COMPANY THAT THEY CONTRACTED WITH TO PRODUCE THESE DASH. I AM PERSONALLY GOING TO SUE LEXUS. I WOULD BE WILLING TO SHARE MY PLEADINGS WITH ANYONE ELSE, BUT I CANNOT GIVE LEGAL ADVISE OF ANY KIND BECAUSE I AM NOT AN ATTORNEY. PLEADINGS ARE PUBLIC RECORD. .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 28478 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTJBT20X030.

Lexus Gx470 2003 Reviews
Seems that 2006 2007 IS250 & IS350 owners would rather talk to each other about problems with the drivers knee airbag harness. I've been told by a Lexus service manager that both airbags and seatbelts are disabled when the "airbag light" is i windshield casing on drivers side has pulled away from frame causing air noises. Do alot of 2010's have this issue? I have a steering column that squeaks when I turn my '01 Lexus RX-300. All of this stuff is starting to make. My husband was driving a 2001 lexus gs 1999 Lexus RX300.....Passenger seat belt light keep blinking when somebody seat on the front.Thank you for your help. 93 gs300, out of the blue,, car died, towed home, started ran fine, 5 min. later dies. got to run again, 7 min dies. noticed with key on all the injectors are clicking irratically, then while trouble shooting,, everything, comes to a stop, when recently, on my 1992 SC400, a loud beep apparantly coming from the right door speaker comes immediately after starting the car. I've turned off the radio and it still beeps. i have a problem with my lexus sc430 cabriolet. i cant open luggage and i cant be it cabrio. plz help me. I own an lexus 2000 rx300, since the past 6 months the temperature gauge has stopped working and the electricians can't find what is wrong airbags did not deploy upon impact to a tree and rock at 50 mph Hello Yvonne, I had the same problem with my 2004 LS430, I took the steering wheel cowl off and watched the motor I could see (up down) motor. I found that the motor turned a little and was obviously still working (sort of) my thoughts on this pro Noticed a thumping noise with my 2010 RX 350 when braking going forward and backwards. Dealership said not to worry, many owner are complaining about the same thing. When there are enough complaints Lexus will do more research to resolve the pro
430 and lost control somehow there still not sure how crashed into a tree and the car exploded a couple times i was just wondering if anyone has had any trouble with
