One problem related to transmission solenoid has been reported for the 1997 Lexus LS400. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Vehicle does not start when hot. Starter does not turn. Vehicle was never recalled for NHTSA campaign 98v016000. My car has a production date of 7/97. Cut off date for this campaign was 6/97. I believe my vehicle should have been recalled for the repair of the magnetic switch in the starter. A no start condition exists and a fire can result if the solenoid shorts out. This is a safety issue and needs to be addressed.
