Power Train

ODI #11565438

Crash

Incident: June 24, 2022 · Filed: January 14, 2024

My 4 LO light is constantly flashing, and I lose power when trying to accelerate. 1.Loss of Traction Control: If the 4WD system fails while engaged, it could lead to a sudden loss of traction. This can be particularly dangerous in conditions where 4WD is necessary, such as on slippery roads, steep inclines, or off-road situations. 2.Unexpected Vehicle Behavior: A malfunction in the 4WD system could lead to unpredictable vehicle behavior. For example, if the vehicle unexpectedly shifts into or out of 4Lo mode, it could disrupt the driver's control over the vehicle. 3.Increased Wear and Damage: Operating the vehicle with a malfunctioning 4WD system can lead to increased wear or damage to the drivetrain. Over time, this can result in more significant failures, potentially leading to unsafe driving conditions. 4.Difficulty in Handling: If the vehicle is stuck in 4Lo mode, it might become difficult to drive at higher speeds. The 4Lo mode is designed for low-speed, high-torque scenarios, and driving in this mode on regular roads can affect handling and control. 5.Increased Risk in Emergency Maneuvers: Should an emergency maneuver be necessary (like sudden braking or evasive steering), a malfunctioning 4WD system could impede the vehicle's response, increasing the risk of an accident.

Steering; Service Brakes

ODI #10470405

Incident: May 3, 2012 · Filed: August 13, 2012

AFTER FEELING THAT MY BRAKES HADN'T WORKED PROPERLY AT A STOP LIGHT (I ALMOST SKID THROUGH IT), I WAS TRAVELING ABOUT 35 MPH AROUND A CURVE AND LIGHTLY PRESSED ON THE BRAKES TO MAKE SURE I WOULD SLOW DOWN. UNBELIEVABLY, MY BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED AND I ACTUALLY BELIEVE I SPED UP WHILE AT THE SAME TIME MY STEERING WENT OUT OF CONTROL. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL OR STOP THE CAR. AFTER A FEW SECONDS I WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE RIGHT AND MUD SLOWED ME DOWN ENOUGH TO COME TO A STOP. IT WAS A TRULY PETRIFYING EXPERIENCE AND THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER CONFIRMED THAT MY BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY NON-FUNCTIONING WHEN HE HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO GET MY CAR ON HIS TRUCK. LEXUS CLAIMED THAT THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, HOWEVER, WHICH I FIND TO BE EXTREMELY DISTURBING. I PRAY THAT THEY DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RESELL OR LEASE THIS CAR. *TR

2010 LEXUS GX 460 DRIVEN BY MY WIFE. AT APPROX 30 MPH THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED HARD TO AVOID A CAR CHANGING LANES AND THE VEHICLE ENTERED AN IMMEDIATE LEFT SKID WITHOUT WHEELS SKIDDING DUE TO BRAKING.

THIS OCCURRED ON DRY PAVEMENT AND EASILY COULD HAVE LED TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. NO ACCIDENT HAPPENED ONLY DUE TO MY WIFE'S DRIVING SKILLS. APPEARS THE STABILITY CONTROL DID NOT WORK AS ADVERTISED. *TR
