THERE'S A RECALL ON MY CAR FOR THE FUEL PUMP WHICH I WAS NOTIFIED LAST MONTH ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THEY ARE STILL WORKING ON A SOLUTION FOR THE ISSUE BUT THIS ISN'T HAPPENING AS QUICK AS IT SHOULD. I'M CONCERNED DRIVING KNOWING THAT MY CAR COULD POSSIBLY STALL AT ANY MOMENT AS I DRIVE ON ONE THE BUSIEST FREEWAYS IN DALLAS ON A DAILY BASIS. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF I COULD HAVE THIS REPAIR EXPEDITED AS I AM CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY AT THIS POINT. *TR

THREE TIMES IN THE LAST WEEK I HAVE EXPERIENCE A DANGEROUS HESITATION IN ACCELERATING AT A LOW SPEED AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKES. NO MATTER HOW HARD I PRESS DOWN ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR DOES NOT RESPOND. *TR

BOTH FRONT DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS STOPPED WORKING WITHIN A WEEK JUST AFTER 65,000 MILES. THERE ARE MANY MANY OTHERS OUT THERE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE FOR THIS GENERATION GS350. HOPE TO SEE LEXUS RECALL TO MAINTAIN QUALITY AND RELIABILITY REPUTATION. THE REPAIR COSTS ARE VERY UNREASONABLE.

Intermittent issue with steering getting stuck at highway speeds. Jolts back into place after a few seconds. No warning lights on display. Mechanic unable to replicate it since it happens intermittently.

BOTH FRONT DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS ARE NOT WORKING. THEY FAILED WITHIN DAYS AT 60,000 MILES. COST TO REPLACE BY DEALER IS PROHIBITIVE. I HAVE FOUND OUT THAT THS IS A COMMON ISSUE BRAND WISE.
