I HAVE A 1990 LEXUS LS 400 AND I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE MY ALTERNATOR AND POWER STEERING PUMP 3 TIMES DUE TO THE POWER STEERING PUMP HAVING A LEAK AND THERE ARE MILLIONS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND IT COST A LOT OF MONEY I THINK LEXUS SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THEIR PUMPS TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM PLEASE HELP ME THIS IS BECOMING RIDICULOUS. EVERY YEAR I HAVE TO CHANGE MY PUMP DUE TO THIS PROBLEM THEY COST 600 DOLLARS JUST THE PART SOMEONE SHOULD TAKE SOME KIND OF NOTICE TO THIS MAJOR PROBLEM. *TR

MY CAR, MADE BY TOYOTA, HAS ALL THE SAME PROBLEMS, FAULTY PARTS, AS THE CARS THAT WERE RECALLED FOR SUDDEN ACCELERATION. I HAVE HAD THE SUDDEN ACCELERATION PROBLEM HAPPEN TWICE AND I AM CURRENTLY UNABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE OF A FAULTY RESISTOR THAT CONTROLS THE FUEL FEED TOT THE FUEL PUMP KEEPS CAUSING THE CAR TO ACT LIKE IT IS RUNNING OUT OF GAS. VERY DANGEROUS. LEXUS HAS REFUSED TO FIX IT EVEN THOUGH I AM WILLING TO PAY. THEY WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH CARS WITH THE SAME PARTS AS SUDDEN

IN APPROXIMATELY 1995, I EXPERIENCED THE "SUDDEN ACCELERATION" PROBLEM TWICE WITH MY LEXUS LS. AT THE TIME, NO ONE HAD EVER HEARD OF IT AND THE DEALER SAID HE COULD NOT REPRODUCE IT AND COULD DO NOTHING. AFTER THAT I WAS MORE CAREFUL WITH THE FLOOR MATS AND THOUGHT I HAD SOLVED THE PROBLEM. FOR THE LAST 7 TO 8 YEARS, THE CAR SUDDENLY SLOWS AND STALLS. I HAVE REPEATEDLY COMPLAINED TO NEW COUNTRY LEXUS BUT THEY JUST SAY THAT THEY CANNOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM AND DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS.

BENDS AFTER DRIVING ON A CROWN ROAD......3X.....BCP IN SMYRNA DE WILL NOT GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANGED LEFT AND RIGHT TIE ROD ENDS TWIICE AND STILL CANNOT KEEP THE VEHICLE ON THE ROAD.

INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS DON'T WORK (SPEEDOMETER) ON 90 LEXUS LS400. APPARENTLY IT'S HAPPENED TO ALL OF THEM OR IS HAPPENING TO ALL OF THEM. COST $2000 TO REPAIR! NOT SAFE DRIVING WITHOUT SEEING SPEED. (ENTIRE CLUSTER IS ELECTRONIC SO CAN'T SEE EVEN IN DAYLIGHT.*AK
