Suspension

6 reports
“I HAVE A 2014 LEXUS GX 460 WHICH HAS AN OBVIOUS LEAN TO THE RIGHT/PASSENGER SIDE. THE PASSENGER SIDE SITS APPROXIMATELY 1" LOWER IN THE FRONT. WHEN I BRAKE THE VEHICLE PULLS HARD TO THE RIGHT EVERY TIME. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME DUE NOT KNOWING IF THE VEHICLE WILL OVERTURN IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT/HARD BRAKING. IT IS ALSO A CONCERN THAT PARTS WILL EVENTUALLY WEAR QUICKER ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE SUBSTANTIAL LEAN CAUSING SAFETY CONCERNS DOWN THE ROAD. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED LEXUS DEALER WHO ADVISES THAT LEXUS ISSUED A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. LEXUS FURTHER ADVISED ME THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT MY LEAN WAS NOT IN LEXUS SPECIFICATIONS TO BE FIXED WITH THE NEW PART THAT LEXUS HAS ALREADY ENGINEERED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THEY FURTHER ADVISED ME THAT I CAN BRING THE VEHICLE BACK AT A LATER DATE AND THEY WILL REMEASURE THE LEAN TO SEE IF IT FALLS UNDER THE REPAIR/REPLACE BULLETIN. IF IT GETS WORSE BY THE MILEAGE DEAD LINE THEN I CAN GET IT FIXED IF NOT I AM TOLD THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE. IT IS MY OPTION THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS A VALID SAFETY CONCERN DUE TO THE VEHICLE LEANING TO ONE SIDE. THIS…”

Electrical system

4 reports1 crash
“Constant rebooting of the Infotainment system which includes heat/air conditioning - defrosting of windows etc. I have had this problem for more than a year. I have consulted with Lexus dealerships. I was told this problem exists with various models of Toyota and Lexus. Every time I start the vehicle - it starts rebooting - then the screen keeps blinking on and off like it is beginning to start then it stops. I have disconnected the battery to re attempt. Works for 2 minutes than fails. I purchased a micro SD card for 2014. Worked for a day then on the screen states need a dealership. Then I leave it for days, it starts as normal then starts the re-boot. Totally frustrated. Dealer problem. Should be a re-call....Not a $4000 repair.”
