This issue began after I brought unrepaired recall concerns to the dealershipâs General Manager and was told I would need to sign an NDA and failed to provide the recall part numbers as agreed. When I received my vehicle back, I immediately noticed physical changes to my instrument panel. I then reviewed four years of photos and videos stored on my original devices and discovered approximately twenty dateâstamped images showing drill holes, pry marks, tool damage, and components of the instrument cluster visibly moving, changing, or disappearing over time. I am submitting information regarding possible unauthorized access, alteration, and replacement of my vehicleâs instrument cluster… - Feb 18, 2018Air bags
In 2018 shottenkirk desert lexus marked two recalls as completed but also simultaneously typed in a note saying "customer declined worked and is out of town" The original part number and quantity fields are left blank. The dealership was paid for these items. I do not have anywhere in the vehicle history after that date showing any recalls were addressed. The recalls are the airbag which is a safety hazard for exploding shrapnel., and for the instrumental panel. Both were paid to dealer but both have blank /missing part numbers. Finally--once I reported to lexus corporate and the dealer General manager, the GM Matt attempted to offer me a cash settlement and repairs but I must sign a non… - Apr 2, 2026Fuel/propulsion system
My vehicle made a stange sound and then stopped in the middle of the roadway causing a safety risk to myself and others. No warning light appeares until thia incident. Many vehicles were forced to switch lanes to avoid a collision with my vehicle. I had to called the local police to assist me in getting my vehicle to a safe location. I had the vehicle towed to the local Lexus Dealership and it was determined that the vehicle had a fuel pump failure. I am aware that the 2013 Lexus GX 460 was recalled for the same.issue; however, my vehicles Vin did not show a current recall. This is a major issue amd needs to be addressed asap. - Mar 1, 2023Vehicle speed control
Lexus issued a Warranty Enhancement Program sometime in 2022. It stated that if the check engine light would illuminate due to moisture and cold in the air injection pumps and air switching valves. The warranty would be good until 10 years from first use which is 10/23 for this vehicle. I was not experiencing the problem at the time I received the notice so I files it. A few months later I started to experience the exact issue with the check engine light which would come on and render certain systems inoperable such as cruise control, The light would stay on for any amount of time then go off and everything was then OK. It then would reappear at some time and last for days/weeks then… - Apr 19, 2022Fuel/propulsion system

THIS IS A BAD EXPERIENCE TO MY CAR 2013 LEXUS GX460. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR LOST CONTROL. I EXPERIENCED A LOSS IN POWER AND ACCELERATION, A DECREASE IN FUEL EFFICIENCY. I HAD TO TOW MY CAR TO THE SHOP AND TURNED OUT THE FUEL PUMP WAS MALFUNCTION THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED. I WAS SO DISAPPOINTED IT SINCE MY CAR IS KIND A NEW AND IT ONLY HAD AROUND 100K MILES ON IT AT THAT TIME. AND I JUST BOUGHT IT FROM A LEXUS DEALERSHIP 2 YEARS AGO. I THOUGHT LEXUS PARTS LAST LONGER THAN THAT? I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THE ISSUE. AND THEN AFTER 5 MONTHS DRIVING AS NORMAL, THE SIMILAR INCIDENT HAPPENED AGAIN, THIS TIME THE FUEL SENSOR (SENDING) WAS BAD THAT I HAD TO REPLACE.. I WAS SO… - Jul 15, 2017Structure › Body
