Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)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.
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.
CRACKED DASHBOARD.
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.
DASHBOARD IS CRACKING AROUND THE AIRBAG, MADE AFFECT AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. BECAUSE AIRBAG MAYBE NOT BE SECURELY IN PLACE. *TR
