STEERING
INTERMITTENT PROBLEM - CAR OCCASIONALLY PULLS TO EITHER SIDE, RIGHT OR LEFT, WHEN APPLYING BRAKES. A VIDEO RECORDING OF THE LATEST INCIDENT, WHICH OCCURRED ON 7/29/11, SHOWING THE STEERING WHEEL SPINNING 90 DEGREES TO THE LEFT WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED AT A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH WHILE DRIVING ON THE GRAND CENTRAL PARKWAY IN QUEENS, NEW YORK IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST. THE PROBLEM WAS REPORTED TO LEXUS CORPORATE AND BROUGHT TO LEXUS OF QUEENS (NEW YORK CITY) FOR CORRECTION ON 7/19/11. SINCE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT, "VEHICLE IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED." I CAN NOT, WITH COMPLETE CERTAINTY, STATE THAT THE BRAKES ARE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, AN ASE-CERTIFIED MASTER TECHNICIAN, WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS DESCRIBED TO HIM OFFERED HIS OPINION. HE WROTE, "WHEN A VEHICLE PULLS EITHER WAY THE POSSIBLE PROBLEMS ARE NO FLUID PRESSURE GETTING TO OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE PULLING, A FROZEN OR STICKING CALIPER OR PARTLY COLLAPSED FLEX HOSE ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE PULLING. THE ABS AND/OR TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM MIGHT NOT BE ALLOWING PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE CALIPER. THERE ALSO COULD BE AIR TRAPPED IN THE SYSTEM." ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED TO NHTSA. UPDATED 08-29-11 *BF UPDATED 10/17/11 UPDATED 02/07/12 THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKE PULLING HAPPENS ABOUT EVERY 195 MILES. UPDATED 05/12/2012 *JS

VISIBILITY:WINDSHIELD WIPER/WASHER
THE ENGINE UPON COLD START UP MAKES A RATTLING NOISE AND IS VERY LOUD. LEXUS IN SEPTEMBER RECALLED THE LEXUS IS 350 FOR THE SAME REASON AND THEY SAID THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. HOWEVER, I CALLED LEXUS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS THE SAME ISSUE AT MY DEALERSHIP, BUT WOULD NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. ALSO, BACK IN MARCH THE VEHICLE SMELT LIKE RAW GASOLINE, SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS LEAKING GAS IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE DEALER TOLD ME DUE TO THE GAS VAPOR, WHICH IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE THAT THE CAR COULD HAVE EXPLODED. HOWEVER, LEXUS WOULD NOT COVER THIS SAFETY ISSUE UNDER WARRANTY EITHER. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN A DEATH TRAP FROM DAY ONE. IT HAS ALSO BEEN RECALLED FOR THE FAULTY GAS PEDAL, BRAKES WORKING IMPROPERLY, OTHER FUEL LINE ISSUES OTHER THAN I MENTIONED, AND EVEN THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS. *TR
