FRONT UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARMS ARE MALFUNCTIONING. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM ON THIS CAR HOWEVER LEXUS WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL OR OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIR. LEXUS WILL COVER THIS UNDER WARRANTY BUT AS MANY OF THESE HAPPEN SHORTLY AFTER THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED LIKE IN MY CASE THERE IS NO RECOURSE. THIS REPAIR IS NEARLY $5000 AND IS JUST NOT FEASIBLE OR AFFORDABLE. *TR

THIS VEHICLE SEEMS LIKE IT WAS DAMAGED FROM THE START. EVER SINCE THIS CAR WAS PURCHASED FROM PRESTIGE LEXUS NJ, IT'S JUST BEEN GIVING US PROBLEMS ALL THE TIME. IT SEEMS LIKE THIS CAR WAS FACTORY DAMAGED, OR THE DEALERSHIP REWINDED THE MILEAGE ON THE CAR BECAUSE A CAR AT 30,000 MILES SHOULDN'T HAVE PROBLEMS CONSTANTLY. WE PAYED A LOT FOR THE CAR AND PLUS EXTRA 2.000$ FOR WARRANTY DOESN'T HELP AT ALL, THESE COMPANY'S JUST WANT MONEY, THEY NEVER HELP. WE DRIVE THIS CAR VERY CAUTIOUSLY AND ONCE WE WERE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND OUR AIR COMPRESSOR BROKE AND OUR CAR STOPPED IN TH MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND WE HAD A TOW TRUCK TAKE IT TO LEXUS. MANY TIME THIS CAR GIVES US PROBLEMS, THE ROTORS WE HAD TO CHANGE OUR SELFS, WE HAD WARRANTY BUT DIDN'T HELP AT ALL THEY DEALERSHIPS JUST TOOK MORE AND MORE CASH FROM US. THE SUSPENSION THEN BROKE, THEN THE AXLE LINKS AFTER THAT THE CAR HAS PROBLEMS DRIVING IT SHAKES SIDE TO SIDE. THERE WAS ALWAYS THIS ONE PROBLEM WHERE YOU WOULD HAVE THE HEADLIGHTS OFF THE GAS PEDAL WAS DELAYED, WHEN YOU PUSHED ON IT THE CAR TOOK LIKE 4-5 SEC TO ACTUALLY DRIVE( WE STILL HAVE THAT ISSUE) WE TAKE OUR CAR TO THE DEALER BUT THEY NEVER ACTUALLY FIX IT, AFTER WE LEAVE THE NEXT DAY THERE IS ANOTHER ISSUE AND IT'S CONSTANTLY IT'S VERY ANNOYING ! THIS CAR IS 100% EITHER FACTOR DAMAGED OR THE DEALER IS HIDING SOMETHING POINT BLANK. WE JUST WANT THE DEALER TO TAKE THE CAR BACK AND GIVE US A NEW LEXUS LS460L THAT'S NOT DAMAGED OR MESSED AROUND BY THE DEALER SO WE CAN FEEL SAFE AND NOT WORRY ABOUT THE CAR WHEN WE DRIVE IT, BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT'S NEXT THE AC DOESN'T WORK NOTHING WORKS IT'S FACTORY DAMAGED 100%. PLEASE HELP US AND GIVE US A NEW CAR THAT'S NOT FACTORY DAMAGED OR MESSED AROUND WITH THE DEALER. THANK YOU

ON 08/27/2018 AT 11:30 A.M. I WAS DRIVING ON THE EXTENDED ON-RAMP TO ROUTE 288 IN CHESTERFIELD COUNTY, VA AT ABOUT 55 MPH. IT WAS SUNNY, NOT HUMID AND THE TEMPERATURE WAS IN THE HIGH 70'S; THE ROADWAY WAS SMOOTH AND CLEAR OF OBSTRUCTIONS. MY A/C WAS ON, THE WINDOWS WERE UP AND MY MOONROOF WAS CLOSED AND THE SHADE PROTECTOR WAS SHUT. THERE WERE NO VEHICLES IN MY SIGHT IN ANY DIRECTION. ALL OF A SUDDEN, I HEARD A VERY LOUD NOISE, LIKE A SHOTGUN GOING OFF IN A CLOSED ROOM, AND IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR I SAW DEBRIS COMING FROM MY VEHICLE AND LANDING ON THE ROADWAY BEHIND ME. THINKING THAT SOMETHING HAD COME FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY CAR, I PULLED OVER AND EXAMINED THE REAR AND UNDERNEATH OF MY VEHICLE. FINDING NOTHING AMISS, I WAS SURPRISED, BUT WAS EVEN MORE SURPRISED WHEN WALKING BACK TO THE DRIVER'S DOOR, I OBSERVED THAT MY MOONROOF HAD EXPLODED! THERE WAS A LARGE HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF MY MOONROOF, AND THE MISSING GLASS WAS OBVIOUSLY WHAT I HAD SEEN FLYING FROM THE BACK OF MY CAR. THERE WAS PIECES OF GLASS ON THE SHADE. HAD THE SHADE NOT BEEN SHUT, THAT GLASS WOULD HAVE ENTERED THE INTERIOR OF MY VEHICLE. MY CAR HAD BEEN PARKED IN THE SHADE ALL MORNING EXCEPT FOR A PERIOD OF ABOUT 30 MINUTES WHILE I ATE LUNCH IN A RESTAURANT, WHERE IT HAD BEEN PARKED OUT IN THE OPEN. I HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVING THE CAR ABOUT FIVE MINUTES BEFORE THE INCIDENT, AND BEFORE DRIVING THE CAR I HAD OBSERVED THE MOONROOF AND HAD NOTICED NO ISSUES WITH IT. I HAVE HAD NO PRIOR ISSUES WITH THE MOONROOF.

AUTOMOBILE HESITATES, THEN SURGES UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. THE CAR FEELS AS IF IT IS SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL, THEN INTO GEAR, WHILE IN NORMAL DRIVING MODE, CAUSING A SUDDEN UNEXPECTED ACCELERATION. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN DEMONSTRATED AT: 1. NORMAL CITY DRIVING WITH NO ADDITIONAL THROTTLE APPLIED. 2. FREEWAY DRIVING WITH NO ADDITIONAL THROTTLE APPLIED. 3. FREEWAY DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL. 4.WHEN STARTING FROM A DEAD STOP 5. WHEN ACCELERATING TO MERGE INTO TRAFFIC THIS ISSUE OCCURS IN ALL DRIVING MODES (ECO, NORMAL, POWER). IT IS INTERMITTENT, BUT HAS BEEN INCREASING IN FREQUENCY. BECAUSE THIS PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT, THE THROTTLE RESPONSE IS UNPREDICTABLE. IT HAS CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR MISSES WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A DEAD STOP, ALMOST HITTING CAR IN FRONT. IT HAS ALSO MADE MERGING ON TO FREEWAY DANGEROUS DUE TO HESITATION AND NO RESPONSE FROM ACCELERATOR. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE LEXUS DEALER SINCE 5,000 MILE SERVICE. AFTER COMPLAINTS AT EVERY SERVICE (CAR NOW HAS 25,000 MILES), DEALER KEPT CAR FOR TWO WEEKS FOR DIAGNOSTICS. RESULTS OF DIAGNOSTICS AS FOLLOWS: "AT 70MPH WITH ACCELERATION IN ECO MODE),FELT TWO DOWN SHIFTS DURING ACCELERATION WHICH GIVES THE SENSATION THAT THERE IS NO ACCELERATION, THEN SUDDEN ACCELERATION. THIS ACCELERATION IS NOT AS GREAT IN REGULAR MODE BUT CAN STILL BE FELT. THIS IS A NORMAL ACTION OF THE TRANSMISSION OPERATION. NO REPAIRS PERFORMED NEEDED OR RECOMMENDED."

THIS IS MORE OF A CONCERN AND A INQUIRY. I RECENTLY PURCHASED A 2010 LEXUS LS460 AWD. I HAVE NOTICE THAT WHEN MAKING U-TURNS OR SHARP TURNS, THE STEERING WHEEL FAILS TO RETURN TO CENTER BY ITSELF, AND WHEN I TURN IT BACK MY SELF THE WHEEL IS NO LONGER ALIGNED WITH THE CAR. I.E THE NORMAL POSITION OF THE STEERING TO GO STRAIGHT, IS OFF ABOUT 90 DEGREES. THIS TEND TO CAUSE OVER AND UNDERSTEER, AND CAN BE PRETTY SCARY WHEN IN TRAFFIC. *TR
