2010 LEXUS GX — Problems, Recalls & Safety Data

My 4 LO light is constantly flashing, and I lose power when trying to accelerate. 1.Loss of Traction Control: If the 4WD system fails while engaged, it could lead to a sudden loss of traction. This can be particularly dangerous in conditions where 4WD is necessary, such as on slippery roads, steep inclines, or off-road situations. 2.Unexpected Vehicle Behavior: A malfunction in the 4WD system could lead to unpredictable vehicle behavior. For example, if the vehicle unexpectedly shifts into or out of 4Lo mode, it could disrupt the driver's control over the vehicle. 3.Increased Wear and Damage: Operating the vehicle with a malfunctioning 4WD system can lead to increased wear or damage to the drivetrain. Over time, this can result in more significant failures, potentially leading to unsafe driving conditions. 4.Difficulty in Handling: If the vehicle is stuck in 4Lo mode, it might become difficult to drive at higher speeds. The 4Lo mode is designed for low-speed, high-torque scenarios, and driving in this mode on regular roads can affect handling and control. 5.Increased Risk in Emergency Maneuvers: Should an emergency maneuver be necessary (like sudden braking or evasive steering), a malfunctioning 4WD system could impede the vehicle's response, increasing the risk of an accident.

TAKATA RECALL... MORE THAN ONE(1) YEAR SINCE RECALL AND NO REMEDY PLEASE ADDRESS THESE ISSUE NO ONE CAN SIT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER OF OUR " FAMILY SUV" BECAUSE OF THIS

AFTER 10 MONTHS SINCE THE AIRBAG RECALL WAS ANNOUNCED THERE ARE STILL NO UPDATES ON WHEN MY VEHICLE WILL BE REPAIRED FROM THE MANUFACTURE. CONSIDERING THE SEVERITY OF THE ISSUE, MORE SHOULD BE DONE TO SPEED UP THE PROCESS!

AFTER FEELING THAT MY BRAKES HADN'T WORKED PROPERLY AT A STOP LIGHT (I ALMOST SKID THROUGH IT), I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MPH AROUND A CURVE AND LIGHTLY PRESSED ON THE BRAKES TO MAKE SURE I WOULD SLOW DOWN. UNBELIEVABLY, MY BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED AND I ACTUALLY BELIEVE I SPED UP WHILE AT THE SAME TIME MY STEERING WENT OUT OF CONTROL. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL OR STOP THE CAR. AFTER A FEW SECONDS I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE RIGHT AND MUD SLOWED ME DOWN ENOUGH TO COME TO A STOP. IT WAS A TRULY PETRIFYING EXPERIENCE AND THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER CONFIRMED THAT MY BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY NON-FUNCTIONING WHEN HE HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO GET MY CAR ON HIS TRUCK. LEXUS CLAIMED THAT THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, HOWEVER, WHICH I FIND TO BE EXTREMELY DISTURBING. I PRAY THAT THEY DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RESELL OR LEASE THIS CAR. *TR
