TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2018 LEXUS GX460. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 45 MPH SHE FELL ASLEEP BEHIND THE WHEEL DUE TO A MEDICAL CONDITION AND SIDE SWIPED TWO PARKED VEHICLES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE POLICE CAME TO THE SCENE AND A REPORT WAS TAKEN. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE SUSTAINED BRUISING FROM THE SEAT BELT AND INJURIES TO HER RIGHT HAND HOWEVER, HER GRANDSON WHOM WAS SEATED IN THE REAR PASSENGER SEAT SUSTAINED INJURIES TO HIS LEG AND KNEE, AND A CUT LIP. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT MOST OF THE DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE WAS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A TOW LOT AND DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 31,000.

THERE IS A THUD THAT OCCURS IN THE DRIVE TRAIN WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, OR ACCELERATING FROM A ROLL. THE DEALER SAID ITS NORMAL, BUT IT CANNOT BE NORMAL. IT IS A LITERAL THUD. I HAVE HEARD THIS THUD COUNTLESS TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR. I HAVE ALSO READ ON MANY FORUMS THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE.

VEHICLE OFTEN SITS VISIBLY LOWER ON THE LEFT SIDE DURING DRIVING AND AT REST. VEHICLE ALSO OFTEN HISSES FROM REAR AFTER TURNING OFF AFTER DRIVING. DEALER DENIES ANY PROBLEM, BUT STATES THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CUSTOMERS. LEXUS STATES PROBLEM CAN ONLY BE DIAGNOSED WITH FULL TANK OF GAS - IMPLYING IF THE GAS TANK IS NOT FULL, THE VEHICLE MAY BE UNLEVEL. LEXUS STATES THIS IS A NORMAL CONDITION FOR THIS VEHICLE, AND THE VEHICLE DOES NOT MEET LEXUS REPAIR CRITERIA. FIRST NOTICED ISSUE ON DAY OF PURCHASE. AT THAT TIME DEALER SAID IT COULD BE ADJUSTED, BUT NOW STATES THERE IS NO ADJUSTMENT. (I DID NOT HAVE THE STATED ADJUSTMENT PERFORMED AT THAT TIME, BECAUSE I HAD JUST DRIVEN 2 HOURS TO PICKUP MY NEW VEHICLE).
