While this vehicle was not included in the safety reacall bulletin regarding un-intended acceleration, my vehicle no exhibits the issue that, while in motion, the brake and accelerator pedals can be pushed simultaneously, possibly causing a vehicle accident. I feel my vin should have been part of the safety recall list.
Rear center and the rear driver's seat belt were installed incorrectly by the manufacturer.the only way the seat belts will fasten is if they are crisscrossed, and then depending on who fastens the belt first, will determine which occupant will be trapped in seat belt.
Total brakes failure twice. Dealer was not able to identify problem the first time and the brakes were working again after a few shutoffs/restarts of the engine. The second time, dealer claimed that it has located an "open circuit in pump motor" - many parts were replaced at $2,550.53.
I own a 2003 lexus gs 430 vehicle.during the time that i have owned this vehicle, i continue to experience vibration and brake and wheel wear on the front end assembly.the dealership has aligned the front end and changed tires, but the problem is repeating.i believe that the vehicle is improperly designed either to accept 17 in. Tires or to handle a 4.3 liter engine.the dealership insists that all you have to do is rotate tires every 5,000 miles and there is no problem, but this is not the case.as a result of the run-out and out of balance condition in the front end of the vehicle, the braking is unrepeatable, and, i believe, causes a sever safety concern.the problem happens within 3,000 to 4,000 miles of an alignment.i believe that this problem is endemic to lexus gs 430's with 17 inch tires and believe that the dealership is not interested in confronting a design problem.i am asking that this be investigated.i also intend to contact toyota directly.*la
