HEIGHT CONTROL FOR REAR AIR SUSPENSION BOTTOMS OUT AND THE VEHICLE BOUNCE VIOLENTLY WHILE DRIVING AND THE CONTROL SWITCH FOR THE HEIGHT IS STUCK IN NEUTRAL
THE SUNROOF DOOR IS RUSTED ALL OVER THE METAL SURROUNDING THE GLASS ON THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE ROOF OF THE CAR IS OK BUT I FEAR THE RUST WILL EVENTUALLY GET THERE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE SUNROOF DOOR MIGHT GET DETACHED WHILE DRIVING AND MAY CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. I HAVE SPOKE TO THE LOCAL LEXUS DEALER AND THEY SAY THERE IS NO CAMPAIGN OR RECALL ON THE ISSUE. MY CAR IS ALWAYS IN THE GARAGE WHILE NOT IN USE AND THERE IS NO LEAK ON THE DOOR SO I BELIEVE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE MATERIAL USED ON THIS MODEL. I HAVE ANOTHER LEXUS A 2000 GS 400 AND THE SUNROOF DOOR IS IN PERFECT CONDITION. I HAVE SPOKE TO OTHER GS 470 OWNER AND THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I WILL APPRECIATE FROM YOU TO INVESTIGATE WHY IS THIS HAPPENING WITH THIS MODEL BEFORE THERE IS AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. THANKS.
DASHBOARD/COVER CRACKS OVER THE (1) ODOMETER ASSEMBLY AND (2) GLOVE COMPARTMENTS. THESE MAY AFFECT THE AIR BAGS IN THOSE AREAS. I BOUGHT THIS USED AT AROUND 95000 MILES ON JANUARY 20, 2018 FROM INFINITY BERMAN LA SALLE ST CHICAGO ILLINOIS. I READ THERE WERE PREVIOUS REPORTS ON DASHBOARD FOR EARLIER GX470 BUT THIS IS NOT COVERED. CARFAX REPORT FOR THIS VIN DOES NOT HAVE REPORTED ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE.
CRACKED DASHBOARD.
