2 Body problem of the 2016 Lexus GS

Failure Date: 09/16/2024

Vehicle is 2016 Lexus Gs350 showing clear coat failure on the roof on the edges. Door handles and black pillar cover are not both showing discoloration. The head light cover under both headlights have lost its color. A vehicle of this age should not be having paint failure like this. I contacted the Lexus customer service mentioning this is a defect with the paint application and they wouldn't help.

I informed my insurance of the damage and sent them pictures, I can show you as well.

Estimados, mi nombre ES [xxx] , residente DE toa baja, puerto rico. Soy propietario DE un Lexus is250 2010, VIN [xxx] .

Deseo aclarar que el problema del tablero y paneles ES un defecto DE material ampliamente documentado y no guarda relación con el millaje del vehículo. Por tal razón, solicito respetuosamente que mi caso sea evaluado por Lexus corporate bajo criterios DE asistencia voluntaria o buena voluntad, independientemente DE la discrepancia del odómetro.

5 Body problem of the 1999 Lexus GS

Failure Date: 07/14/2014

In the process of making a u-turn on a private narrow street the automobile rpm jumped from aaan almost idel condition to over 3000 rpm. Every effort to brake the car and shift to neutral proved ineffective within the distance of approximately 30 feet. The automobile jumped the curb and struck a low garden wall forcing an engine stop. The airbags failed to deploy. My estimate of the speed when striking the wall was 30 to 35 mph. I have pictures which show the brake streaks as well as total damage scene. In addition a next door neighbor heard the entire sequence of events and can verify the extent of the braking effort. To date Lexus has stated that it was not an automobile defect. I am looking into appropriate legal action. The 1999 Gs300 is identified as a candidate for uncontrolled accelerations in the recently complete Toyota uncontrolled acceleration class action suite but my event is closed out due to the date of occurrence.

7 Body problem of the 1996 Lexus GS

Failure Date: 07/01/2009

This series of Lexus apparently has a defect of the inside rear view mirror that cause the mirror inside surface to cloud up to the point of being inoperative. My unit began to fail early in the car's life but just as the warranty period expired it became nearly useless. Lexus nor the dealer would not cover this safety defect.
