I purchased this 2006 lexus gx 470 in october 2005, from westside lexus in houston texas. The paint on my vehicle started peeling three years after I purchased the vehicle. It got worse as the years went by. I called lexus and reported the problem, and didn't get any help. I have been calling lexus every year since I first noticed the problem, still without any help from lexus. It is a shame that lexus is not trying to help me, considering I am a loyal customer. I felt lexus should have recalled the vehicle. I have seen several 2005-2006 lexus gx 470 models with similar problems on the road. It appears the problem is from lexus. I am calling on the government to please order lexus to recall these vehicles. It is sad that one spends hard-earned thousands of dollars to purchase a vehicle and to be having these sorts of issues.

I have an 2006 lexus gx470 and these lights came on: ABS, vsc trac, vsc off, skid, and check engine. The vehicle started making a humming noise at start up and now drives in stalled mode. Had codes check and it turns out I have the dreaded secondary air injection system (emissions) defect p0412, p0418 ,p1440/p1443, p1441/p1444, p2440, p2445, p1442/p1145 , which is a recurring problem. Replacement is a nightmare for self repair or a $2000+ repair.
