What 2007 Lexus LS460L owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
After having the fuel pressure sensor gasket changed for the recall, I have had a strong fuel smell in the cabin. Taken to the dealer, spent nine weeks looking for the leak. They said they couldn't find it, but wanted me to pay $840 for gasket kit, but would not guarantee that it would fix it, next step would be to pull the engine at my expense...? Fire hazard !

The front windows have a serious wind noise issue in all earlier ls model( that's what the dealer told me) upgrades have been done to it by the dealer & the problem still exists. 2 other upgrades could be done but they'll reduce the wind noise by 15% & can't be eliminated! The design has a problem. Many people have complained about it on many websites like edmonds,... The wind noise is very annoying & distracting. Another problem with all these cars is the wheels that chip & plating comes off of them after a while.
Dashboard is defective and "melting." surface has become reflective and as a result of the defect causing glare on the windshield which makes it difficult if not impossible to see under certain lighting conditions.
2007 lexus ls460l brake actuator and brake accumulator are defective. *mw the consumer stated while driving, a bell sounded and the dashboard lit up and flashed brake malfunction, do not drive car, call dealer. The cost to fix the vehicle was $5400.
During low speed braking. There is a buzzing noise/vibration coming from the brake pedal and engine compartment. I am pretty certain, but not 100% that when this noise is present, my braking ability is diminished. It is a very unsettling feeling when it does happen and it seems to be happening with greater frequency.
