2007 Lexus GX Complaint Log

Peeling paint throughout car.

Paint is chipping and flying off while driving. Safety hazard for other drivers as well as myself. Bare metal is showing on every body panel and only getting worse. The paint recall needs to be extended to earlier year models as it is affecting these vehicles as well. I am an estimator from a repair facility. Multiple vehicles with the tri coat white are experiencing these issues.

DASHBOARD HAS BECOME GREASY AND STARTED MELTING IN SOME AREAS. DASHBOARD ALSO HAS STARTED CRACKING TOWARDS AIRBAG.

MY FRONT DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AND PAINT IS AGGRESSIVELY PEELING ON ALL 4 DOORS, HOOD, & ROOF. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES. GO VISIT TOYOTA/LEXUS/SCION PAINT PEELS, BUT THEY HAVE A FIX IN THE WORKS (FOR SOME) ON FACEBOOK AND SEE FOR YOURSELF. *TR

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP MY VEHICLE, I STARTED FEELING A HUGE CLUNK TOWARDS THE REAR OF MY LEXUS GX 470. NOW I FEEL IT WHEN DRIVING AND WHILE IT IS SITTING IN PARK. HAD I KNOWN THAT THIS WAS SUCH A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE, I NEVER WOULD HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR WORSE.

DASHBOARD FOR MY CAR STARTED CRACKING AND BECOMING STICKY. SYMPTOMS ARE WORSE WHEN CAR IS PARKED OUTSIDE. THE MATERIAL USED IS NOT HEAT RESISTANT. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR DASHBOARD CRACKS, BUT IT WAS TIME BOUND. IF CONSUMER IS ALWAYS PARKING CAR INDOORS, SYMPTOMS WILL TAKE TIME TO APPEAR. AS THIS PROBLEM AFFECTS SAFETY OF AIRBAG AND OTHER CRITICAL COMPONENTS AROUND DASHBOARD, IT SHOULD BE REPAIRED IRRESPECTIVE OF WHEN THE SYMPTOM START HAPPENING. MANY OTHER CONSUMERS ARE ALSO SEEING SIMILAR ISSUES. LEXUS FORUMS ARE FLOODED WITH COMPLAINTS ABOUT DASHBOARD. SOMEONE FROM NHTSA SHOULD INVESTIGATE THIS IN DETAIL.

DASHBOARD IS CRACKED

2007 LEXUS GX470 PEELING BLIZZARD PEARL (070) PAINT COLOR ACROSS ENTIRE VEHICLE (ROOF, SIDES, HOOD, DOORS, ETC..). LEXUS HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS ISSUE IS PRESENT IN 2008-2009 GX470S, BUT OUR 2007 IS NOT COVERED FOR REPAIR EVEN THOUGH IT SUFFERS THE SAME ISSUE. WE HAVE HAD ESTIMATES FROM LEXUS BODY SHOP (LOCAL HOUSTON DEALERSHIP) FOR ~$10,000+ TO REPAIR.

HEIGHT CONTROL FOR REAR AIR SUSPENSION BOTTOMS OUT AND THE VEHICLE BOUNCE VIOLENTLY WHILE DRIVING AND THE CONTROL SWITCH FOR THE HEIGHT IS STUCK IN NEUTRAL

DASHBOARD/COVER CRACKS OVER THE (1) ODOMETER ASSEMBLY AND (2) GLOVE COMPARTMENTS. THESE MAY AFFECT THE AIR BAGS IN THOSE AREAS. I BOUGHT THIS USED AT AROUND 95000 MILES ON JANUARY 20, 2018 FROM INFINITY BERMAN LA SALLE ST CHICAGO ILLINOIS. I READ THERE WERE PREVIOUS REPORTS ON DASHBOARD FOR EARLIER GX470 BUT THIS IS NOT COVERED. CARFAX REPORT FOR THIS VIN DOES NOT HAVE REPORTED ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE.

HIT SIDE ROAD ON HIGHWAY THAT WAS GRAVEL. TURNED WHEEL TO GET BACK ON HIGHWAY AND SUV ROLLED 1 1/2 TIMES - HAD TAKEN IT IN A COUPLE YEARS PRIOR DUE TO BACK WHEELS NOT BEING STABLE ON GRAVEL ROADS AND WAS TOLD THE STABILITY CONTROL WAS FINE WHICH IT WASN'T.

CRACKED DASHBOARD.

THE DASHBOARD IS DISCOLORED AND CAN GET STICKY WHEN IT'S HOT. THEY HAD A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BACK IN THE YEAR 2014 OR 2015. APPARENTLY YEAR 2016 WAS THE LAST DATE TO BRING THE CAR IN BUT BECAUSE OF MY LOW MILES AND THE FACT I LEAVE THE CAR IN THE GARAGE THE DISCOLORATION AND STICKINESS DID NOT HAPPEN UNTIL AFTER 2016. I BROUGHT IN THE VEHICLE AND THEY SAID THAT THE RECALL HAD ENDED IN 2016 AND COULD NOT HELP ME. LEXUS NEEDS TO RECALL THIS AGAIN FOR PEOPLE THAT HAVE THIS PROBLEM AFTER 2016.

NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE SINCE BEING NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL MONTHS AGO. RECALL NO. 16V-065

I OWN THIS LEXUS 2007 GX470, AT 120,00 MILES HAS A COMPLETELY OVERHAULED AND NOW 143,000 MILES ALL YELLOW WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED THAT INCLUDING "ENGINE" THE ENGINE STARTS MAKE NOISE AND KING OF DRAGGING SOMTHING, AFTER DIAGNOSTICS. "THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM SWITCHING VALVE STUCK OPEN BOTH ONE AND TWO" I CALLED DEALER AND TOTAL PARTS COST ME $1,200 NOT INCLUDE LABOR YET. THAT'S RIDICULOUS.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2006 LEXUS GX470 (VIN [XXX]). A MONTH OR SO AGO, AT OR ABOUT 56,500 MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH ABOUT THREE OTHER YELLOW WARNING LIGHTS. ALSO, THE ENGINE WENT INTO A MODE THAT BARELY ALLOWED ME TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD. ON OR ABOUT JANUARY 27 OF THIS YEAR, I LIMPED TO THE LEXUS DEALER FOR INSPECTION. AS THE ATTACHED REPORT INDICATES, MY VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAILURE OF THE SECONDARY AIR SYSTEM WITH A REPAIR ESTIMATE OF $2,114.60. (SEE PAGE 9 OF THE ATTACHED AUTOPOINT FITNESS INSPECTION & TREATMENT PLAN). AFTER RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON WITH THIS ENGINE TYPE. I WOULD ASSERT THAT MINE IS A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. IT SEEMS THE SECONDARY AIR PUMP (PART OF THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM) IS DEFECTIVE AND DETERIORATES, CAUSING THE ENTIRE SYSTEM TO STOP WORKING. THIS THEN CAUSES THE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM TO REDUCE THE ENGINE TO A "LIMP MODE" THAT IS DANGEROUS AND DYSFUNCTIONAL. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

DASH IS CRACKING

THE AIR SUSPENSION SYSTEM DOES NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BOUNCE AGGRESSIVELY. SOMETIMES THE PROBLEM RECTIFIES ITSELF AND THE SYSTEM MIRACULOUSLY BEGINS FUNCTIONING AGAIN WITH PROPER FILL OF THE AIR SUSPENSION BLADDERS OR PROPER SENSOR CONTROL. I AM AWARE THAT THIS IS A COMMON FAILURE OF THIS MODEL VEHICLE AND YEAR. SO MUCH SO THAT THERE ARE COMPANIES DEDICATED SOLELY TO SELLING ONLY AIR RIDE SUSPENSION SYSTEMS/COMPONENTS AND AIR SUSPENSION CONVERSION SYSTEMS TO COMPLETELY ELIMINATE THE AIR SUSPENSION FROM YOUR VEHICLE AND CONVERT TO TRADITIONAL SPRING SUSPENSION. THIS IS CERTAINLY A HAZARD AND HAS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO BOUNCE IN FAST AND SLOW SPEEDS. CONTROL OF VEHICLE ON FREEWAY AT 70 MPH BECOMES INTIMIDATING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS GX470. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN ABNORMAL NOISE WAS HEARD UNDER THE HOOD. THE NOISE WAS HEARD WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED AND WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH. IN ADDITION, UNKNOWN WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS VEERED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE THE VSC,ABS,AND ETC LIGHTS CAME ON,THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS HAD HAPPENED,THE LIGHTS HAS CAME ON BEFORE WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT AND IN PARK.THE VEHICLE NOW WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR IT ONLY STAYS IN PARK.IT STILL WILL START BUT CAN'T DRIVE BECAUSE IT WON'T GO INTO GEAR. THE CAR ALSO WAS PULLING TO THE SIDE WHILE DRIVING AND ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS IT WOULD NOT START AT ALL FOR WHATEVER REASON .I SEARCHED GOOGLE AND YOUTUBE AND SOMEONE SAID TO UNPLUG THE BATTERY FOR 30 MINUTES AND IT SHOULD START AND IT DID. I FORGOT WHAT THEY SAID THE CAUSE OF IT,I THINK THEY SAID THE EMS NEEDED TO BE RESET.I DON'T THINK THESE THINGS SHOULD BE HAPPENING BUT EVERY TIME IT DOES IT HAPPENS IN THE SAME PATTERN AND WE HAVE TO RESET THE EMS .THE GEAR JUST RECENTLY MALFUNCTIONED THIS WEEK.I THINK THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND SOMEONE NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THIS ASAP BEFORE SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS. I HAVE NOT CONTACTED LEXUS BECAUSE IT IS POINTLESS AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT,I SHOULD KNOW FROM PAST EXPERIENCES WITH THEM.

DASH IS CRACKING ACROSS THE WHOLE TOP, CONCERNED ABOUT AIRBAG SAFETY. *TR

DASH BOARD IS CRACKED AROUND THE STEREO AND SCREEN AREA. I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE MUCH BETTER EQUIPMENT SINCE IT IS LEXUS BUT I GUESS NOT. *TR

THE SUNROOF DOOR IS RUSTED ALL OVER THE METAL SURROUNDING THE GLASS ON THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE ROOF OF THE CAR IS OK BUT I FEAR THE RUST WILL EVENTUALLY GET THERE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE SUNROOF DOOR MIGHT GET DETACHED WHILE DRIVING AND MAY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE SPOKE TO THE LOCAL LEXUS DEALER AND THEY SAY THERE IS NO CAMPAIGN OR RECALL ON THE ISSUE. MY CAR IS ALWAYS IN THE GARAGE WHILE NOT IN USE AND THERE IS NO LEAK ON THE DOOR SO I BELIEVE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE MATERIAL USED ON THIS MODEL. I HAVE ANOTHER LEXUS A 2000 GS 400 AND THE SUNROOF DOOR IS IN PERFECT CONDITION. I HAVE SPOKE TO OTHER GS 470 OWNER AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I WILL APPRECIATE FROM YOU TO INVESTIGATE WHY IS THIS HAPPENING WITH THIS MODEL BEFORE THERE IS AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THANKS.

CONTACTED DUNLOP AND ASSIGNED CASE NUMBER [XXX]. THEY REFERRED ME TO LOCAL DEALER TO INSPECT. DEALER SAID THEY HAD NEVER SEEN A TIRE ISSUE LIKE THAT. AFTER WAITING A WEEK. DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE TIRES PRO-RATED AND DISCOUNTED FROM FULL MSRP.

WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS TO GO IN REVERSE IN MY 2007 LEXUS GX 470, THE CAR ACCELERATED FAR MORE THAN I WAS PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL. THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE EVEN WHEN I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR, AND EVENTUALLY COLLIDED WITH A CONCRETE POLE. ABOUT A MONTH PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT, I HAD TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE MAKING A SCRAPING SOUND, BUT THE DEALERSHIP "COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM." AFTER THE INCIDENT, I PROMPTLY REPORTED THE ISSUE TO LEXUS AND LEFT THE VEHICLE UNTOUCHED FOR NEARLY 2 WEEKS, AWAITING INVESTIGATION. LEXUS PROMISED TO CONTACT ME WITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS TO INVESTIGATE, BUT DID NOT DO SO. *TR

AFTER REMOVING FOOT FROM ACCELERATOR AND APPLYING BRAKE WHILE PARKING, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AS IF THE GAS PEDAL WAS PUSHED TO THE FLOOR. MY WIFE HAD THE BRAKE PUSHED AS HARD AS SHE COULD BUT WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP THE CAR BEFORE IT HIT AN EMBANKMENT. SHE SLID INTO THE DASH AND STEERING WHEEL AND WAS SORE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS. SHE HAD A PASSENGER WHO WITNESSED THE EVENT. *TR
