general problems of the 2004 Lexus GX470

Five problems related to suspension have been reported for the 2004 Lexus GX470. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Suspension problem

Failure Date: 04/03/2019

My Gx470 2004 has rust on frame, shocks and suspension. Have been told that they will not make any repairs because they will cost more than vehicle. Lexus should really consider these frames from dana ohio in the recalls as the others. Over the years I have had the radiator, emergency brake and rims all rust out and replaced as well and the vehicle is not even in snow or beach areas. These vehicles also have the seat belt issue which makes the airbag light stay on. As nice and reliable these vehicles were I believe Lexus should back their product!.
