What owners report
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS GS 450H. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE ENGINE MADE AN ABNORMAL NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MAGNUSSEN LEXUS OF FREMONT (LOCATED AT 5600 CUSHING PKWY, FREMONT, CA 94538, (510) 657-6600) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VARIABLE VALVE TIMING NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 160,000.
THIS IS PART OF COMPLAINT 11140678 FILED WITH NHSTA. I MEANT TO ATTACH THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT FOR THE ABS ACTUATOR. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH TOYOTA/LEXUS AND I FEEL THAT IT IS MORE THAN A WARRANTY CONCERN. THIS IS A MALFUNCTION OF A PART THAT IS SAFETY CONCERN TO THE HIGHWAYS AND BEYOND. I ALSO AM CONCERN IF THIS WAS AN ISSUE LOOKED AT WHEN TOYOTA HAD THE "UNINTENDED ACCELERATION" ISSUE WHERE DRIVERS WERE NOT ABLE TO STOP. THESE CARS GO FAR BEYOND THE REGULAR 150,000 MILE CUTOFF FOR THE ENHANCED WARRANTY MILEAGE GIVEN OF THE VEHICLES LISTED IN THE WARRANTY. IN THIS PARTICULAR WARRANTY, MY CAR IS NOT LISTED AT FIRST BUT IF YOU SCROLL DOWN THE ATTACHED WARRANTY IT APPEARS. MORE THAN 736,00
"ABS ACTUATOR" CAR WAS MAKES A CONTINUOUS BUZZING NOISE AND THEN A CLICK WHEN IN PARK, OR WHEN TURNED OFF AFTER DRIVING. REPORTED TO DEALER, WHO COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WHEN REPORTED IN 2016/2017. 2018, WAS TOLD THAT I NEED A ABS ACTUATOR AFTER ALL LIGHTS ON MY DASH APPEARED ON THE SCREEN. THE LIGHTS INCLUDE, ABS, CHECK ABS, SLIPPERY ROAD, AND A COUPLE OF HAZARD LIGHTS. WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT SPORADIC TIMES LEADING UP TO THE LIGHTS APPEARING ON SCREEN, WHEN I PRESS DOWN ON THE BREAKS, IT TAKES A LONGER THAN NORMAL RESPONSE TO BREAK, UNLESS I PRESS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IT FINALLY RESPONDS. THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS NOT AWARE OF A PROBLEM WITH THE ABS ACTUATOR SYSTEM THAT IS A P
BRAKE ACCUATOR WENT OUT TO QUICKLY. THIS PART IS MORE EXPENSIVE THAN MOTOR
MY 2007 LEXUS GS450H IS NOT HAVING ALL CYLINDERS FIRING AND HAS ENGINE POWER LOSS. I CALLED OUR LOCAL LEXUS DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE'S NO RECALL OF THIS KIND OF PROBLEM. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND THERE'S A CERTAIN RECALL DESCRIBING EXACTLY WHAT MY CAR IS DOING. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 10V309000- TOYOTA RECALLS 2006-2008 LEXUS MODELS DUE TO POSSIBLE ENGINE PROBLEMS DUE TO MICRO-FOREIGN OBJECTS IN THE VALVE SPRING THAT CAN CAUSE IT TO BREAK. THIS COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO FAIL SUDDENLY, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
