2014 LEXUS GS Complaints

BOTH FRONT DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS STOPPED WORKING WITHIN A WEEK JUST AFTER 65,000 MILES. THERE ARE MANY MANY OTHERS OUT THERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE FOR THIS GENERATION GS350. HOPE TO SEE LEXUS RECALL TO MAINTAIN QUALITY AND RELIABILITY REPUTATION. THE REPAIR COSTS ARE VERY UNREASONABLE.

BOTH FRONT DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS ARE NOT WORKING. THEY FAILED WITHIN DAYS AT 60,000 MILES. COST TO REPLACE BY DEALER IS PROHIBITIVE. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THS IS A COMMON ISSUE BRAND WISE.
