THIS IS PART OF COMPLAINT 11140678 FILED WITH NHSTA. I MEANT TO ATTACH THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT FOR THE ABS ACTUATOR. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH TOYOTA/LEXUS AND I FEEL THAT IT IS MORE THAN A WARRANTY CONCERN. THIS IS A MALFUNCTION OF A PART THAT IS SAFETY CONCERN TO THE HIGHWAYS AND BEYOND. I ALSO AM CONCERN IF THIS WAS AN ISSUE LOOKED AT WHEN TOYOTA HAD THE "UNINTENDED ACCELERATION" ISSUE WHERE DRIVERS WERE NOT ABLE TO STOP. THESE CARS GO FAR BEYOND THE REGULAR 150,000 MILE CUTOFF FOR THE ENHANCED WARRANTY MILEAGE GIVEN OF THE VEHICLES LISTED IN THE WARRANTY. IN THIS PARTICULAR WARRANTY, MY CAR IS NOT LISTED AT FIRST BUT IF YOU SCROLL DOWN THE ATTACHED WARRANTY IT APPEARS. MORE THAN…

MY 2007 LEXUS GS450H IS NOT HAVING ALL CYLINDERS FIRING AND HAS ENGINE POWER LOSS. I CALLED OUR LOCAL LEXUS DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE'S NO RECALL OF THIS KIND OF PROBLEM. I SEARCHED ONLINE AND THERE'S A CERTAIN RECALL DESCRIBING EXACTLY WHAT MY CAR IS DOING. THE RECALL NUMBER IS 10V309000- TOYOTA RECALLS 2006-2008 LEXUS MODELS DUE TO POSSIBLE ENGINE PROBLEMS DUE TO MICRO-FOREIGN OBJECTS IN THE VALVE SPRING THAT CAN CAUSE IT TO BREAK. THIS COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO FAIL SUDDENLY, WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.

NO WARNING SIGNS BEFORE THAT. THIS WAS ON A SMALL CITY SIDE STREET IN FRONT OF A SCHOOL
