2007 LEXUS LS Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS LS 460. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE AND INCREASE IN RPMS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SPARK PLUGS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THE ENGINE CONTROL UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPROGRAMMED, AND THE FUEL LINES NEEDED TO BE FLUSHED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,000... UPDATED 12/22/16 *BF *TR

I NOTICED CLICKING SOUNDS FROM THE REAR OF THE CAR WHILE IN MOTION, WITHIN DAYS A NUMBER OF WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE DASH STATING: CHECK ABS VSC BRAKE SYSTEM.. STOP THE CAR IN A SAFE PLACE AND CONTACT A DEALER. THE CLICKING HAS INCREASED DRAMATICALLY. A MECHANIC STATED IT IS THE BRAKE ACTUATOR ASSEMBLY.

MY 2007 LEXUS LS 460 DOOR PANELS AS WELL AS THE DASH GET EXTREMELY STICKY AND SHINY WHEN THE VEHICLE IS PARKED IN A SUNNY HOT PLACE. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH A LEXUS REPRESENTATIVE AND WAS TOLD THAT EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HAVE EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR SOME OF THEIR VEHICLES, MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ONE OF THE 'LUCKY' ONES THAT WOULD BE COVERED. AS SOME OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS HAVE STATED, THE SHINY DASH COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD. LEXUS KNOWS THEY USED INFERIOR PRODUCTS AND WILL NOT HONOR THEIR COMMITMENT FOR EXCELLENCE THEY CLAIM FOR THEIR CARS. I AM VERY DISILLUSIONED WITH LEXUS, A LUXURY CAR SHOULD NOT BE HAVING PROBLEMS BECAUSE OF CHEAP AND INFERIOR MATERIALS.

2007 LEXUS LS 460. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE DASHBOARD, INTERIOR DOOR PANELS CRACKING/ OR STICKY/ MELTING AS A RESULT OF HEAT OR HUMIDITY. CONSUMER STATES REPLACEMENT PARTS STILL NOT AVAILABLE FOR REPAIRS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED HE HAS BEEN RECEIVING LETTERS OVER THE PAST SIX YEARS REGARDING THE PROBLEM. *JB

BRAKE MALFUNCTION ERROR WAS SHOWN ON THE SPEEDOMETER SCREEN WITH FIVE LIGHTS (ABS, VSC, BRAKE, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT, AND WARNING LIGHT). THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY SOFT AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO ABRUPT STOPS. ON OTHER OCCASIONS THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME HARD AS A ROCK AND ALSO MADE THE VEHICLE COME TO A JERKING STOP. PULSATION AND NOISE WERE ALSO NOTED. DEALER ADVISED THAT THE BRAKE ACTUATOR PART (44050-50110) WAS THE CAUSE OF THE MALFUNCTION AND NOISE. LEXUS TECH AND ADVISOR NOTED THAT THIS IS A A VERY COMMON ISSUE ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL - 2007 LS460.

BRAKE MALFUNCTION LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF VSC MALFUNCTION AND POSSIBLE ABS MALFUNCTION. I HAVE THE BRAKES CHECKED OUT AND THEY CANNOT LOCATE THE PROBLEM. BRJAE MALFUNCTION WARNING LIGHTS COME ON WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS LS460. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 15 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SWITCHED INTO THE NEUTRAL POSITION, THE BRAKES RESPONDED PROPERLY. UPON EXAMINATION, THE CONTACT DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAKE ROTORS WERE EXTREMELY HOT AND HAD A BURNING ODOR COMING FROM THEM. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE CHECK ABS AND CHECK VSC WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED WITH AN ERROR MESSAGE STATING TO PARK IMMEDIATELY AND CONTACT THE DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE PUMP AND THE BRAKE ACTUATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

THE CAR WOULD AT RANDOM EXCELERATE SLOW OR HESITATE TO MOVE EVEN IF PUT THE PADDLE TO THE FLOOR. THIS WILL HAPPEN AT RANDOM WHICH MAKES ME WORRY WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND THE COMPANY NEEDS TO RECALL THE CARS

ON 8/28/2015 I WAS DOING A BRAKE JOB ON MY 2007 LEXUS LS 460, I COMPLETED THE REAR ROTORS AND PADS. SO I STARTED ON THE FRONT REPLACING THE PADS I ACCIDENTALLY TAPPED THE BRAKE , BUT NOT PRESSED ALL THE WAY IN. NOT KNOWING THE ROTORS WAS NOT ON THE CAR YET. I THEN NOTICE LIGHTS APPEAR ON THE DASH. ABS, BRAKE ,ASC ETC... I THEN STARTED READING UP ON THIS PROBLEM ON HOW TO FIX IT, WHAT I'M HEARING THAT I MAY NEED THE ACTUATOR AND BOOSTER REPLACED. ANOTHER THING I'M HEARING WOULD BE TRY BLEED MY BRAKES. SO I'M TRYING THIS TODAY THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT A LOT OF 2007 LEXUS LS 460 AND UP ARE HAVING, THIS SEEM LIKE A PROBLEM THAT NEEDS TO BE A RECALL.

DOOR ARMRESTS ARE DISINTEGRATING. THE SURFACE IS VERY TACKY WHICH IS BECOMING SOILED AND CAN NOT BE CLEANED. THIS RUBBER MATERIAL ALSO DETERIORATED ON THE TRUNK (LIT SWITCH COVER) BUT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY
