Owner report 10457033 · 2012-05-01 (May 1, 2012)

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 LEXUS LS460L. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN BRAKING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE ENGINE RPMS WOULD INCREASE EXCESSIVELY. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD SPORADICALLY LOSE POWER WHEN ATTEMPTING A RIGHT TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY HAD ALREADY REPLACED SEVERAL OF THESE ON THIS MODEL VEHICLE IN JUST THE PAST FEW MONTHS. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE, I FOUND THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF LEXUS OWNERS WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM THAT OCCURRED IN MY VEHICLE, WITH…

Owner report 10513063 · 2013-05-21 (May 21, 2013)

THIS MODEL HESITATES IN CHANGING (HUNTING) GEARS ON HARD ACCELERATIONS. THREE TIMES I HAVE BEEN IN NEAR ACCIDENTS ON MERGING INTO FREEWAYS, CHANGING LANES FROM A STRAIGHT PATH OR FROM CORNER TURNS. THE CAR RESPONDS VERY SLOW ON HARD ACCELERATION. THE WEB IS FULL OF SIMILAR INCIDENTS WITH THIS MODEL CAR. I SUSPECT IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH LEXUS' EIGHT SPEED TRANSMISSION AND HOW THEIR SOFTWARE IS INTEGRATED WITH THE POWERTRAIN. LEXUS HAD A "FIX" FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT DID NOT QUITE FIX IT COMPLETELY AND THEY INSIST THE CAR IS WORKING AS DES…
