2010 LEXUS GX460 Complaints

ON DECEMBER 12, 2017, ABOUT 5 PM. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK. I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION. THOUGHT I HAD BLOWN A TIRE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IT WAS SO LOUD IT SCARED ME. I PULLED OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IMMEDIATELY AND CALLED MY SPOUSE. WHILE I WAS ON THE PHONE MY SPOUSE AND I DISCUSSED WHAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN SINCE NO TIRE WAS BLOWN. I PICKED UNDER THE VEHICLE COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING LEAKING OR DAMAGE. I GOT BACK IN THE CAR WITH MY SPOUSE STILL ON THE PHONE AND STARTED THE VEHICLE TO CHECK DUMMY LIGHTS ON THE - NOTHING THERE. I STARTED THE CAR AND KEPT DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD I COULD HEAR AIR COMING THROUGH MY SUNROOF. LUCKILY THE MOON ROOF SLIDING DOOR WAS CLOSED SO NO GLASS HAD ENTERED THE INSIDE. BUT COULD TELL THAT THE SUNROOF WAS SHATTERED. I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WITH NO ONE NEAR ME IN FRONT OR BEHIND OR PASSING FOR A GOOD 200 TO 300 YD BEFORE I PULLED OVER. IT WAS A TYPICAL FALL DAY LIKE SEMI OVERCAST BUT IN THE SIXTIES AND NOT WINDY. I WAS IN SHOCK THAT THE SUNROOF HAD SHATTERED THERE WAS NO CONSTRUCTION NO DEBRIS NO BADD WEATHER WASN'T HOT OR COLD IT WAS JUST CRAZY AND SCARY. WE HAD A DIFFICULT TIME FINDING A REPLACEMENT GLASS. IT WAS QUITE THE DEBACLE. THE GLASS COST US OVER $900 THROUGH TOYOTA WITH A SHIPMENT DEBACLE THAT TOOK ALMOST 3 WEEKS TO COME IN PERIOD THEN I HAD TO PAY PRECISION GLASS OUT OF CASTLE ROCK TO INSTALL THIS FOR ME. WHICH COST ME ANOTHER COUPLE 100 BUCKS OF COURSE ARE DEDUCTIBLE FOR INSURANCE DIDN'T COVER IN WOULD HAVE EXCEEDED THE COST TO DO SO $1000

THE SKID CONTROL SIGN APPEARS ON THE DASHBOARD EVEN WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY AND VEHICLE SKIDS WHEN YOU NEGOTIATE SHARP CURVES ABOVE 100KM/HR THE CAR DOES NOT PULL WELL AND CAN HARDLY ACCELERATE ABOVE 120 KM/HR. THE CHECK ENGINE SIGN AND 4LO SIGNS SHOW ON THE DASHBOARD. VEHICLE NOW IN GHANA

"TAKATA RECALL" I CALLED LEXUS DEALER IN PUERTO RICO FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL THAT WAS NOTIFIED TO ME BY MAIL. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL WAS RETIRED AND THAT NO SERVICE HAS TO BE DONE TO MY VEHICLE. NO WRITEN EXPLANATION HAS BEEN SENT TO ME FROM THE DEALER. IS IT TRUE THAT THE AIRBAG RECALL WAS RETIRED FROM MY VEHICLE?

TAKATA RECALL - SINCE MAY 23, 2016 TOYOTA HAS ATTEMPTED TO PREPARE A REMEDY FOR NHTSA RECALL NO. 16V-340 BUT AS OF JANUARY 31, 2017 THEY HAVE FAILED. WITH AMPLE TIME PAST, I MUST CONCLUDE TOYOTA IS UNABLE TO DEVELOP A REMEDY. ON BEHALF OF ALL ZONE A RESIDENTS, I ASK THE NHTSA TO LAUNCH AN IMMEDIATE INVESTIGATION TO CONFIRM MY CONCLUSION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE *TR

I AM UNABLE TO USE MY CAR AS NEEDED DUE TO THIS RECALL. IT HAS CREATED A HARDSHIP FOR ME.

MY VEHICLE IS AFFECTED BY THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL. NO REMEDY HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AND I CAN GET NO INFORMATION REGARDING WHEN A REMEDY IS EXPECTED. I DRIVE THIS VEHICLE WITH INFANT AND YOUNG CHILDREN AND I AM VERY DISTRESSED ABOUT THE LIFE THREATENING PROBLEM AND THE LACK OF INFORMATION OR APPARENT PLAN TO REMEDY THE LIFE THREATENING CONDITION.
