LEXUS GX470 2004 Safety Review #10326065

LEXUS GX470 2004 car safety problem was reported on Mar 26, 2010.LEXUS GX470 2004, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL . PROBLEM WITH VSC ON MY 2004 LEXUS GX470. I WAS DRIVING FROM A SKI RESORT ON SNOW COVERED ROAD AT APPROX 35-37 MPH. THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL HIT A POTHOLE AND THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE SHOT SIDEWAYS AND WE WERE HEADED OFF THE ROAD TO THE RIGHT, THEN TRACTION CONTROL OR SOMETHING KICKED IN AND WE SHOT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I TRIED TO STEER BACK INTO OUR LANE AND THE REAR LEFT AGAIN SENT US INTO A SIDEWAYS SKID ACROSS THE RIGHT LANE AND HEADED OFF OF THE ROAD UNTIL THE RIGHT REAR HIT A POLE. THE CAR CONTINUED TO MOVE AND SHOT US BACK INTO THE RIGHT TRAFFIC LANE AND I WAS ABLE TO FINALLY GAIN CONTROL AND PULL OVER. I HAD NO CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND WE VEERED BACK AND FORTH ACROSS THE HIGHWAY FOR SEVERAL YARDS. I HAVE DRIVEN IN WINTER CONDITIONS FOR YEARS AND HAVE BEEN IN SLIDES BEFORE, BUT NEVER WHERE THE CAR CHANGED DIRECTION AND VEERED BACK AND FORTH INSTEAD OF MAINTAINING THE SLIDE TRAJECTORY. I AM CONVINCED THAT THE SENSORS ARE WRONG OR SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE VSC AND REPORTED MY CONCERN TO MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND ALSO TO THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO LEXUS AND HAD THEM RUN FULL DIAGNOSTIC, INCLUDING ZERO POINT/YAW RATE. THEY REPORTED THAT THERE WERE NO ISSUES WITH THE VSC. THE TIRES AND BRAKES CHECKED OUT TOO. I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS VEHICLE SERVICED BY LEXUS, EVEN OIL CHANGES. I HAVE BEEN SEARCHING THIS SITE AND OTHERS FOR SIMILAR ESC/VSC COMPLAINTS AND HAVE FOUND A FEW, THEN WHEN THE ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT THE VSC PROBLEMS WITH THE NEW LEXUS GX CAME OUT, I KNEW I SHOULD REPORT THIS. THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION OF ALL LEXUS GX VSC SYSTEMS - WHETHER THEY DEVELOP FLAWS OVER TIME OR IF THERE IS SOME ISSUE INHERENT WITH THE SYSTEM THAT CAUSES THE UNCONTROLLED SKIDS. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THE CAR HAS GONE INTO AN UNCONTROLLED SLIDE - THE FIRST TIME THERE WERE NO DAMAGES. *TR.Vehicle was involved in a crash. Mileage was 74000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTJBT20X540. Lexus Gx470 2004 problem was reported in COLORADO SPRINGS, CO. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

LEXUS GX470 2004 Safety Review #10342845

LEXUS GX470 2004 car safety problem was reported on June 10, 2010.LEXUS GX470 2004, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with VISIBILITY . ARRIVING AT THE BANK DRIVE THROUGH, I PULLED THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR DOWN AND ALL THE INTERIOR LIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS WENT OUT. LATER, AFTER MY HUSBAND INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM, HE FOUND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS A SHORT CIRCUIT IN THE SUN VISOR WIRING. HE HAD TO REMOVE THE SUN VISOR FROM THE ROOF TO PREVENT THE FUSE FROM BURNING EVERY TIME THE VISOR IS MOVED. THIS PREVENTS ME FROM USING THE VISOR WHEN THE SUN IS DIRECTLY IN MY EYES. IF I LEAVE THE VISOR IN, THE FUSE FOR THE INTERIOR LIGHTING WILL BURN AND RESULT IN THE LOSS OF LIGHTS AND TRIP METER FUNCTIONALITY. I STILL HAVE THE VISOR BUT MY HUSBAND SAYS IT IS NOT REPAIRABLE. *TR.Mileage was 54132 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTJBT20X140. Lexus Gx470 2004 problem was reported in ST. GEORGE, UT. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. VEHICLE SPEED: 0 mph.

LEXUS GX470 2004 Safety Review #10568319

LEXUS GX470 2004 car safety problem was reported on Aug 01, 2005.LEXUS GX470 2004, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with AIR BAGS . AFTER A SHORT TIME OF BUYING MY WIFE'S GX470, A SMALL CRACK APPEARED IN THE DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LOCATION. AT THE TIME WE DIDN'T THINK MUCH ABOUT IT AS MY WIFE STATED IT WAS MORE LIKE A LINE IN THE DASH. THROUGH THE YEARS OF OWNERSHIP THESES CRACKS HAVE GROWN, AND NOW THE ENTIRE DASH IS CRACKED ALL THE WAY ACROSS. WE HAVE TAKEN OUR VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER IT WAS OUT OF FACTORY WARRANTY AND THEY STATE THAT NOW THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. WE TAKE EXCEPTIONAL CARE OF HER CAR AND ALWAYS PARK IT IN THE GARAGE. THE DEALERSHIP ONCE STATED THAT THE PROBABLE PROBLEM WAS SUN RELATED, BUT THAT STATEMENT DIDN'T MAKE SENSE, AND THIS ISSUE REALLY UPSETS ME SINCE LEXUS SEEMS TO HAVE A WIDE-SPREAD PROBLEM WITH THESE DASH CRACKING ISSUES. I EVEN FOUND THIS TOPIC BEING DISCUSSED IN LENGTH IN THIS LEXUS FORUM: HTTP://WWW.CLUBLEXUS.COM/FORUMS/GX-FIRST-GENERATION/427349-CRACKED-DASHBOARD.HTML THE DEALER FINALLY DID OFFER TO REPLACE THE DASH IF I PAID FOR THE LABOR, WHICH WAS LIKE $800. I DON'T BELIEVE WE SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR A KNOWN DEFECT IN THESE DASHES. IT NOW APPEARS MORE CLEARLY THAT THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, BEING THAT IT IS IN THE AIRBAG LOCATION. I AM REQUESTING THAT LEXUS STEPS UP TO THE PLATE AND REPLACE OUR DASH DUE TO THIS SAFETY ISSUE..0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 6000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTJBT20X440. Lexus Gx470 2004 problem was reported in EADS, TN. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.
