TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 LEXUS GS300. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE ABS AND VSC WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, A FUEL ODOR EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 197,000.
I GOT BRAKES PUT ON AT THE LEXUS OF PALM BEACHES OFF OF OKEECHOBEE BLVD LAST YEAR AND PAID OVER 475 DOLLARS FOR ALL PARTS. AS A RESULT 7 MONTHS LATER MY BRAKES BEGAN TO SQUEAK SO I CALLED THEM AND I WAS NOT ASSISTED WITH NEW PARTS EXCEPT JUST BRAKE SPRAY WHICH IS NOT GOOD. THE PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE AND I HAVE A 1 YEAR WARRANTY WHICH ENDS IN ONE MONTH WHICH I FEEL THAT IS WHY THEY DONT WANT TO FIX IT UNTIL THE WAARANTY IS UP
WHILE CAR NEWLY MADE REMOTE KEY CRANK CAR THAT HAD BEEN SITTING WITHOUT BEING DRIVEN 30 +DAYS , I CRANK CAR AND ALARM SOUNDED AND FLASHING LIGHTS CAME ON AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF WHEN CAR KEY TAKEN OUT OF IGNITION. THEN THE CAR BEGAN TO CRANK ALL BY ITSELF WITHOUT THE KEY EVEN IN THE IGNITION!!! I UNHINGED THE BATTERY CABLES AND THE CAR WRNT DEAD. ALSO SMOKE WAS COMING FROM BACK ENGINE AREA!! I TOWED CAR TO LEXUS DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE STARTER. THE GEAR SHIFT LOCKED AND THE CAR DROVE FOR ABOUT A MONTH WHE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON REPORTING ELECTRICAL/OXYGEN SENSOR CODE. THE CAR STARTED MAKING A CLICKING CHIRPING LOW SOUND COMING FROM BEHIND DASH BOARD. I REPORTED IT TO LEXUS DEALE
PREPARING TO STOP WHILE ENTERING ACCESS GATE SLOWING TO AROUND 10 - 15 MPH, AFTER APPLYING BRAKE CAR ACCELERATED FORCING ME TO REAPPLY BRAKE AGAIN AND SHIFTING TO PARK. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT THIS HIGH LEVEL ACCELERATION HAS HAPPENED ALTHOUGH BEFORE I HAVE NOTICED OCCASIONALLY A LOW LEVEL ACCELERATION WHEN PREPARING TO STOP. *TR
