MY 2007 LEXUS GS450H IS NOT HAVING ALL CYLINDERS FIRING AND HAS ENGINE POWER LOSS. I CALLED OUR LOCAL LEXUS DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE'S NO RECALL OF THIS KIND OF PROBLEM. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND THERE'S A CERTAIN RECALL DESCRIBING EXACTLY WHAT MY CAR IS DOING. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 10V309000- TOYOTA RECALLS 2006-2008 LEXUS MODELS DUE TO POSSIBLE ENGINE PROBLEMS DUE TO MICRO-FOREIGN OBJECTS IN THE VALVE SPRING THAT CAN CAUSE IT TO BREAK. THIS COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO FAIL SUDDENLY, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

CAR HAS BEEN SERVICED IN TWO LEXUS DELAERSHIPS IN THE LAST 2 MONTHS....CAR STARTED BLINKING THE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHTS AND STEERING STARTED INTERMITTNETLY WORKING AND THE BRAKES WERE AT 50%. I WAS ABLE TO THE STOP THE CAR AND SHUT IT DOWN WHEN I RESTARTED THE NO WARNING LIGHTS WERE ON. THE STEERING FEEL WAS BACK TO NORMAL AND SO WERE THE BRAKES. I ACCELERATED UP TO ABOUT 5 MILES PER HOUR...AND THE LIGHTS WENT OFF WITH ALARMS AND THE STEERING AND BRAKES COMPLETELY MALFUNCTIONED AND WOULD NOT WORK AND I HIT A PARKED CAR BECAUSE OF NO ABILITY TO CONTROL THE CAR. NO WARNING SIGNS BEFORE THAT. THIS WAS ON A SMALL CITY SIDE STREET IN FRONT OF A SCHOOL

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS GS450H. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED, A LOUD UNKNOWN NOISE WAS HEARD FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE CHECK ENGINE, STABILITY CONTROL, AND ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED SEVERELY WHEN RESTARTED AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT FOUND. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS GS350. DURING RAINY WEATHER OR WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT A CAR WASH, WATER WOULD LEAK INTO THE HEADLIGHT CASING. THE ISSUE CAUSED THE FUSES TO FAIL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE HEADLIGHTS WERE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

I ALSO HAVE A HEADLIGHT THAT HAS INTERMITTENTLY NOT WORKED. I RUN MY LIGHTS ON THE AUTO FEATURE. IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS, I HAVE NOTED THAT THE LEFT HEADLIGHT ONLY TURNS ON SOME OF THE TIME. I NEED TO CHECK IT, TURN THE LIGHTS OFF, THEN BACK ON TO GET IT TO WORK. HAPPENS ABOUT 20% OF THE TIME AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE. ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO, SOMEONE FOLLOWED ME INTO A STORE AND TOLD ME THAT MY LEFT HEADLIGHT WAS OUT. WHEN I LEFT AND TURNED THE CAR ON, THEN CHECKED THE HEADLIGHTS, THEY WERE WORKING. I NOW REALIZE THAT THIS IS WHEN IT STARTED.

I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH A HEAD LIGHT GOING OUT INTERMITTENTLY, AND OCCASIONALLY BOTH BULBS AND WHAT APPEARS TO BE THE BACK BULBS TOO GO OUT LEAVING MY CAR COMPLETELY DARK, INTERIOR LIGHTS ARE SOMETIMES INCLUDED. A QUICK OFF/ON OF THE LIGHT SWITCH AND THE LIGHTS ARE BACK TO NORMAL. I WILL INTERMITTENTLY TURN MY LIGHTS OFF THEN BACK ON SO I CAN CONTROL THE DARKNESS. I LOVE MY LEXUS, BUT FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN IT, AS THE LIGHTS COULD GO DARK AND I CAN'T RESPOND QUICK ENOUGH OR ONCOMING TRAFFIC WILL NOT SEE ME AROUND A CURVE. I TOOK THE CAR IN A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO TO MY LEXUS DEALER, TOM WILLIAMS, AND THEY TOLD ME THE CAR BATTERY WAS WEAK AND CAUSING THE PROBLEM, SHORTLY THEREAFTER I DID REPLACE THE BATTERY, BUT THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. WHEN I BRING IT TO LEXUS, THEY ONLY TEST IT DURING THE DAY. STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I RECENTLY HAD THE CAR IN FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM RECALL AND THEY RECHECKED AND SAID AGAIN THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, I FELT LIKE THEY WERE TELLING ME I WAS LYING. THE MOST RECENT INCIDENT OCCURRED WITH 102,000 MILES ON IT, BUT IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR SEVERAL YEARS SINCE ABOUT 60,000 MILES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS GS 350. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO BE REMEDIED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 13V395000 (ENGINE), IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT ONE OF THE ENGINE VALVES WAS BENT. IN ADDITION, THE ENGINE'S ROCKER WAS FRACTURED AND BOTH THE VALVES AND ROCKER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.
