LEXUS GX470 2005 car safety problem was reported on Sept 17, 2009.LEXUS GX470 2005, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . MY 2005 GX470 HAS HAD 69,000 TROUBLE FREE MILES UNTIL YESTERDAY. MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND CALLED ME WITH THE REPORT OF THE VSC AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON. THE VEHICLE ACTS FINE AND THE GAUGES ARE READING NORMAL. I CHECKED THE FUEL CAP AS THE OWNERS MANUAL SUGGESTED FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT BUT NO RESULTS. I TAKE IT IN TO THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP FOR SERVICE AND THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THEY RESET THE WARNING AND THEN IN TWO TO THREE DAYS IT IS BACK ON AGAIN. I HAVE READ BLOGS THAT IT STATES IT MAY BE THE O2 SENSORS. THIS OCCURS A LOT IN LEXUS VEHICLES. *TR.Mileage was 69835 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTJBT20X950.

LEXUS GX470 2005 car safety problem was reported on Oct 26, 2009.LEXUS GX470 2005, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES . MY 2005 LEXUS GX 470 HAS HAD 3 DOOR ACTUATORS REPLACED ALREADY, AND THE 4TH DOOR ACTUATOR JUST WENT BAD, ALONG WITH 1 OF THE 3 THAT HAD JUST BEEN REPLACED. THE DOOR ACTUATORS ARE WHAT UNLOCK THE AUTOMATIC DOORS. THIS COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE ONLY DOOR THAT OPENS WITH A KEY IS THE DRIVER DOOR. IF SOMEONE NEEDED TO ENTER THE CAR QUICKLY TO ASSIST SOMEONE AT ANY LOCATION OTHER THAT THE DRIVER LOCATION, IT COULD CAUSE A PROBLEM. THIS OCCURS ON A DAILY BASIS AND I SUSPECT I'M NOT THE ONLY GX 470 OWNER WHO HAS HAD THE PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THAT THERE ARE DEFECTIVE ACTUATORS BEING INSTALLED BY LEXUS AND ALTHOUGH THE LIKELIHOOD OF INJURY IS FAIRLY LOW, IT COULD BE A PROBLEM IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. *TR.Mileage was 63000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTJBT20X150. Lexus Gx470 2005 problem was reported in CHULA VISTA, CA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.
