NHTSA Owner Complaint Log
This page lists owner-reported complaints filed with NHTSA for the 2019 Lexus GS. Complaints are unverified consumer reports submitted to NHTSA and do not by themselves prove a defect or defect rate.
When driving at highway speeds (65mph-75mph) the steering rack in Lexus gs350 (4th generation models) will seem “sticky” on “swooping turns”. A slight jerk is the only way to get out of this sticky feeling. The steering racks have been a major issue with these cars and seem fairly frequent to malfunction. I personally think, considering safety standpoint, the steering rack should be recalled. This issue is very prevalent in many Lexus/toyota models with electronic steering racks (not just the gs350 model) This is my 3rd GS350 (2nd one with this same issue all 4th gen’s)
