What owners wrote
A few complaints as filed, shortened and with personal details removed. The first ones are among the most serious reports for this model year; the rest are typical.
The brakes on the vehicle do not work properly. The brakes feel extremely "mushy" as you are pushing down on them. In addition, while stopped at a red light, significant pressure needs to be held down on the brakes or else the vehicle lunges forward creating an unsafe situation. This was been an ongoing problem with the vehicle from day 1 and supposedly we are told there is no fix for it. We do not feel safe driving the vehicle as is. Please advise.
While I was driving and almost home, the right front wheel of my vehicle exploded and the tire coming out of the wheel axle . My vehicle is lexus gx460.
I am writing to inform you of a potential significant safety defect in the 2010 gx 460 I recently purchased from lexus of huntsville. I purchased the car new on the friday the 7th of may. Over the weekend I found the car won't hold its place when stopped on an incline. In fact, the vehicle moves backwards unless I hold the brake down. I reported the problem to lexus of huntsville on monday the 10th and the car was taken in on wednesday the 12th for a maintenance check.
The vehicle has front-end vibrations at 60-65 MPH (most noticeable in the steering wheel) like there is something loose or bad wheel balance. The dealer is not able to correct the problem through balancing, alignment, tire replacement, etc. Replacing tires to a different non-oe didn't help as well which bring symptoms to be non-wheel related but mechanical.
2010 lexus gx 460 staling after stopping. After pulling on to main road, just barely into traffic, the car will maybe move 5MPH for aprox 3-4 sec. I have the accelerator floorboarded and then the car zooms rapidly. This has happened a few times, I called lexus corp and they said they didn't know of any other problem similar. I barely avoided 1 wreck the first timethis happened to me. I was hoping it was just a freak occurrence.
