Tl* the contact owns a 2011 lexus gx460. The contact stated that the brakes would exhibit a loud squealing sound when depressed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing where the technician advised the contact that the rotors would have to be shaved to remove crystallization. The vehicle was repaired but after repairs, the contact stated that the vehicle would hesitate to stop when the brakes were applied.
Vehicle drives fine at low speeds. At highway speed 65 MPH and up steering wheel feels like trying to move a spinning gyro. The vehicle wants to continue in the direction it is going. Requires both hands to make small corrections impossible to drive with one hand. Had lexus investigate problem they recently gave up. This vehicle has had the problem since it was new. I have driven other gx460 vehicles without this problem. Vehicle now has 28,000 miles still same problem.
