LEXUS IS 2007 car safety problem was reported on May 05, 2008.LEXUS IS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with STRUCTURE . I PURCHASED A 07' IS250 IN MAY OF 07. I PURCHASED IT BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY FEATURES I PURCHASED A 07' IS250 IN MAY OF 07. I PURCHASED IT BECAUSE OF THE SAFETY FEATURES AVAILABLE AND WE HAD TOLD OUR SALES ASSOCIATE THAT WE WERE LOOKING FOR A SAFE 4 DOOR BECAUSE WE WERE THINKING OF HAVING A BABY AND DID NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE IN THE CAR I PREVIOUSLY OWNED 06' MAZDA 3. NEVER WERE WE TOLD THAT AN INFANT CAR SEAT WOULD NOT COMFORTABLY FIT IN THE BACK (WITHOUT YOU DRIVING WITH YOUR FACE IN THE WINDSHIELD) I CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY AND WAS TOLD THAT THESE CARS ARE EQUIPPED FOR A CAR SEAT, BUT IT WOULD BE A VERY UNCOMFORTABLE FIT AND I WOULD NEED TO LOOK FOR A SMALL ONE. THEN SHE SAID TO CONTACT MY DEALER TO TALK ABOUT TRADE IN OPTIONS. WELL SINCE I'VE ONLY OWNED THE CAR FOR 11 MONTHS, I'M BASICALLY GOING TO BE COMPLETELY UPSIDE DOWN AND THERE IS NO WAY I WOULD BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO TRADE UP. I WISH I WOULD'VE KNOWN ABOUT THE CAR SEATS NOT FITTING BEFORE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THERE NEEDS TO BE SOME SORT OF DISCLAIMER ON THESE VEHICLES SO THAT PEOPLE WHO ARE LOOKING TO HAVE A FAMILY WILL NOT BUY THEM. OR AT THE VERY LEAST HAVE A LIST OF COMPATIBLE CAR SEATS. I WOULD'VE BEEN MUCH BETTER IN A CAMRY. MY TWINS WILL NOW BE SWASHED INTO THE BACKSEAT OF THIS IS OR I WILL HAVE TO REEVALUATE MY SITUATION. I HAVE EXCELLENT CREDIT, BUT CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE 2 AUTOMOBILE PAYMENTS. MY HUSBAND HIGHLY RECOMMENDED LEXUS FOR THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE BECAUSE HE IS A PREVIOUS OWNER. I THINK THE CAR SEATS FIT BETTER IN A TOYOTA COROLLA WHICH IS ALSO A SMALL VEHICLE, I THINK THAT CAR SEATS SHOULD FIT INTO VEHICLES THAT COME WITH 4 DOORS. *TR .0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTHBK262672.

LEXUS IS 2007 Safety Review #10502237

LEXUS IS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Jan 15, 2013.LEXUS IS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with STEERING . VEHICLE OWNER OBSERVED NOISE THAT APPEARED TO BE COMING FROM THE STEERING ASSEMBLY. AT LOW SPEEDS SUCH AS BACKING UP, WITH LARGE STEERING MOTION, NOISE IS MOST PRONOUNCED. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, AT ANY SPEED, VEHICLE TENDS TO "SKIP" AND "JUMP" TO THE RIGHT OR LEFT, AS IF STEERING BECOMES LOOSE AND JERKS ONE DIRECTION OR THE OTHER. NOISE AND MOTION HAS BEEN GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE SINCE THE INCIDENT DATE. ON OR ABOUT 2/18/13, OWNER BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP FOR DIAGNOSIS. THAT SHOP CONFIRMED THE NOISE, BUT STATED IT NEEDED TO BE BROUGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP. OWNER BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP ON 2/22/13. DEALER STATED THAT THE ELECTRONIC STEERING ASSEMBLY HAS FAILED, NEED TO REPLACE THE RACK AND STEERING SERVOMOTORS WHICH COMES AS ONE PART, BEING LE44200-53151 ELECTRIC LINK ASSEMBLY. THIS IS A PART THAT IS SEALED AND COULD NOT BE MAINTAINED BY EITHER THE OWNER OR ANY REPAIR SHOP. COST TO REPLACE THE ASSEMBLY IS $4472.17 INCLUDING LABOR, MATERIALS AND TAX. OWNER BELIEVES THIS IS AN EXORBITANT AMOUNT, AND REPRESENTS ABOUT 20 - 25% OF THE VEHICLE VALUE. THE FAILURE OF THIS PART IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, THE VEHICLE OWNER SHOULD BEAR NO RESPONSIBILITY TO REPLACE THIS PART. OWNER HAS BEEN UNSUCCESSFUL IN GETTING THE LEXUS DEALERSHIP OR MANUFACTURER TO PROVIDE RELIEF TO THE OWNER TO MAKE THE NECESSARY REPAIRS. OTHER THAN POSSIBLY THE BRAKES, STEERING IS THE MOST IMPORTANT FUNCTION OF A VEHICLE, IT SHOULD REMAIN FUNCTIONAL FOR THE LIFE OF THE CAR. INTERNET SEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT OTHER LEXUS VEHICLES OF THIS VINTAGE HAVE EXPERIENCED SIMILAR PROBLEMS, DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE. IT APPEARS THAT A FAULTY PART HAS BEEN INSTALLED IN THIS VEHICLE, DEALERSHIP AND MANUFACTURER NEED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. THIS ISSUE COULD RESULT IN TOTAL STEERING LOSS, WHICH IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 101000 miles.

LEXUS IS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Oct 18, 2013.LEXUS IS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with STEERING . AS I JUST EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT OF MY WORK, THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY FROZE. I WAS ABOUT TO PARK IN AN OPEN SPOT, SO THE SPEED OF THE CAR WAS VERY LOW. AS I WAS REVERSING INTO THE SPOT, THE STEERING WHEEL JAMMED AND WOULD NOT TURN. I TRIED SHUTTING DOWN AND RESTARTING MANY TIMES BUT THE WHEEL WAS STUCK, AND REQUIRED ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF POWER TO TURN EVER SO SLIGHTLY. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE LEXUS DEALER. THEY WERE ALSO UNABLE TO TURN, AND UPON THEIR REVIEW, THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN TIMING COVER, WHICH ACCUMULATED OVER TIME AND WENT INTO THE HARNESS OF THE ECU AND BURNED THE ECU, WHICH IN-TURN JAMMED YOUR STEERING. THERE WAS NO PHYSICAL LEAKS ON THE BOTTOM, AND THE DEALER ALSO CONFIRMED THAT BUT SAID IT WAS AN INTERNAL LEAK, YOU WOULD NOT SEE IT ON THE FLOOR. THE CAR IS STILL AT THE SHOP AND ONLY AFTER REPLACING THE ECU THEY WILL CHECK FOR STEERING ASSEMBLY. THE EXPLANATION PROVIDED BY THEM IS NOT VERY ADEQUATE AND IF IT IS TRUE THEN THERE SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS FLAW IN DESIGN THAT ANY UNSEEN LEAK FROM TIMING COVER COULD CAUSE YOUR STEERING TO FREEZE UNEXPECTEDLY, WHILE YOUR VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 85000 miles.

LEXUS IS Electrical System

LEXUS IS 2007 Safety Review #10550938

LEXUS IS 2007 car safety problem was reported on Oct 18, 2013.LEXUS IS 2007, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM . AS I JUST EXITED THE HIGHWAY AND PULLED INTO THE PARKING LOT OF MY WORK, THE STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY FROZE. I WAS ABOUT TO PARK IN AN OPEN SPOT, SO THE SPEED OF THE CAR WAS VERY LOW. AS I WAS REVERSING INTO THE SPOT, THE STEERING WHEEL JAMMED AND WOULD NOT TURN. I TRIED SHUTTING DOWN AND RESTARTING MANY TIMES BUT THE WHEEL WAS STUCK, AND REQUIRED ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF POWER TO TURN EVER SO SLIGHTLY. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE LEXUS DEALER. THEY WERE ALSO UNABLE TO TURN, AND UPON THEIR REVIEW, THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS A LEAK IN TIMING COVER, WHICH ACCUMULATED OVER TIME AND WENT INTO THE HARNESS OF THE ECU AND BURNED THE ECU, WHICH IN-TURN JAMMED YOUR STEERING. THERE WAS NO PHYSICAL LEAKS ON THE BOTTOM, AND THE DEALER ALSO CONFIRMED THAT BUT SAID IT WAS AN INTERNAL LEAK, YOU WOULD NOT SEE IT ON THE FLOOR. THE CAR IS STILL AT THE SHOP AND ONLY AFTER REPLACING THE ECU THEY WILL CHECK FOR STEERING ASSEMBLY. THE EXPLANATION PROVIDED BY THEM IS NOT VERY ADEQUATE AND IF IT IS TRUE THEN THERE SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS FLAW IN DESIGN THAT ANY UNSEEN LEAK FROM TIMING COVER COULD CAUSE YOUR STEERING TO FREEZE UNEXPECTEDLY, WHILE YOUR VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 85000 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTHBE262975. Lexus Is 2007 problem was reported in CORNELIUS, NC. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control. Vehicle had 6 CYLINDERS. FUEL TYPE: GAS. VEHICLE SPEED: 5 mph.
