What 2013 Lexus LX owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
When Automatic Height Control system check warning light comes ON, both LX570 traction control system and ABS behave strangely. This happened three time in one day. When the vehicle was in standing in an uphill to join the road, during acceleration, traction control system light starts to splash, vehicle would not move and hesitates. One has to drive slowly to avoid wheels spinning and making noise. When exiting from one highway and trying to join another highway in an uphill exit, when the brake is applied gently to control my speed, vehicle came to abrupt stop surprising myself and the 4 vehicles behind so much so that behind vehicles has to swerve hitting my car. Never seen this problem before.
Reference vehicle has only 71000 miles, yet according to Lexus dealer the rust has covered so much that vehicle is unrepairable compared to the car value. The rust has spread to frame that caused it to be to safety issue for the occupants. The suspension and associated parts have rusted, and fluids are leaking. Lexus hid the rust information during regular maintenance at the dealership only to claim that warranties are not honored for rust specially when extended warranty is just over.
