Body problems of the 2007 Lexus GX470

Two problems related to body have been reported for the 2007 Lexus GX470. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Body problem

Failure Date: 06/30/2014

The sunroof door is rusted all over the metal surrounding the glass on the inside of the vehicle. The roof of the car is ok but I fear the rust will eventually get there. My concern is that the sunroof door might get detached while driving and may cause a serious accident. I have spoke to the local Lexus dealer and they say there is no campaign or recall on the issue. My car is always in the garage while not in use and there is no leak on the door so I believe is a problem with the material used on this model. I have another Lexus a 2000 GS 400 and the sunroof door is in perfect condition. I have spoke to other GS 470 owner and they have the same problem. I will appreciate from you to investigate why is this happening with this model before there is an accident because of this problem. Thanks.
