Lexus Ls430 2001 Visibility Rearview Mirrors/devices Exterior

Lexus Ls430 2001 Visibility Rearview Mirrors/devices Exterior Review #764399

LEXUS LS430 2001 car safety problem was reported on .LEXUS LS430 2001, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA, INC. had a problem with VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES:EXTERIOR . first, this complaint applies to both side view mirrors. in the sales brochure for this car on page 63, under "safety & security" the following appears: "power-adjustable, auto-folding outside mirrors with defoggers, puddle lamps and auto tilt-down in reverse". unfortunately, the function doesn't work too well! both outside rear-view mirrors are positioned and set into memory. when mirrors unfold (e.g., when starting car) or when they are supposed to return to their memory position (e.g., after shifting from reverse) they return to a position that is almost near their memory setting!!! this requires the driver to stop the vehicle, put gear selector in neutral, (memory function won't work while car is moving or unless gear selector in neutral or park position), and then press memory button to bring mirrors back to their set memory position. my dealer was first informed of this malfunction in november, 2001. and has been informed on no less than two subsequent occasions. i'm told by dealer that the factory is aware of the problem. i was also told that the factory knew of this problem as it has existed on another model. it certainly is an inconvenience to have to go through all the aforementioned procedures after backing out of a parking space in order to safely travel down the road. plus, i have a very nice feature (price being included in purchase price of car) which i can't use. safetywise, if i forget to readjust the mirror after backing up or starting the car, my rearward (side view) vision is compromised.*ak.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTHBN30F410.

Lexus Ls430 2001 Vehicle Speed Control Linkages

Lexus Ls430 2001 Vehicle Speed Control Linkages Review #10064261

LEXUS LS430 2001 car safety problem was reported on Apr 01, 2004.LEXUS LS430 2001, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR NORTH AMERICA, INC. had a problem with VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL:LINKAGES . this car has a "drive-by-wire" throttle control system in which the throttle is not directly connected to the engine but is digitized and sent to a computer for analysis prior to controlling the engine speed. the speed control computer analizes the throttle input over time and "learns" the drivers throttle control habits and adjusts the engine response to throttle input based on the long-term driving history of the driver. if the driver drives aggressively all of the time then the throttle response is good. however if the driver drives conservitively most of the time then the throttle response is poor. i normally drive conservatively and i have found on many occasions that this car does not respond in a timely manner in case of emergency accelleration. that is, when i drive conservatively and then need to accellerate quickly to avoid another vehicle, this car hesitates for several seconds before deciding to speed up, even when i stomp on the accellerator. i do not feel safe in this car. i believe that this is a serious safety flaw in the design of this car. i have reported this problem to my lexus dealer on every visit to the service department since i purchased the car new in 2000, yet they have failed to address the problem. i was told by the service department that lexus was aware of the issue as several customers have complained about the problem. on one occasion i was told that the engineers had an experimental firmware upgrade that they were testing with some customers. i have contacted lexus customer service, but they just referred me back to the dealership.*ak.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):JTHBN30F410.

LEXUS LS430 2001 car safety problem was reported on Mar 08, 2011.LEXUS LS430 2001, manufactured by TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC . i turned around in a parking lot by backing up and reversing my direction, after i reversed my direction the car shot forward without my foot on the gas pedal. i kept pumping the brake hoping it would stop and i shot out of the parking lot into the line of traffic and avoided two lanes of cars driving west until i collided with a car heading east. it ripped off the front bumpers of both cars. i felt trapped in the car and could not control it. it just kept accelerating. i wish that i had the presenceof mind to turn off the key or push the automatic lever to neutral or even reverse. but it all happened in a few seconds and i just didn't have the presence of mind to do anything but step on the brake pedal. just once before, some months ago, i was parking the car in a public garage and it accelerated quickly asi reached an off ramp. luckily i was able to turn the steering wheel and negotiate the car around the corner onto the ramp. it scared me, but i thought it was just a freak incident and thought no more about it because i was able to slow the car down once i went round the corner. but this latest time i couldn't stop it and the car is a total wreck. *tr.Vehicle was involved in a crash.
