My 2003 Lexus Lx470 has faulty vgrs ecu. Steering wheel spins to 180 degrees. On October 11, 2018, when I backed it out from the driveway, the steering wheel turned 180 degrees. I drove it to 35mph w/ steering wheel at crooked 25-minute angle and on a sharp right turn, the steering wheel spun 180 degrees again. After about 2 miles, it settled at 10-o�clock angle. On 10/18/2018, matthew of the one auto service and performance (536 lisbon st. Daly city, calif. (650)993-4689) performed wheel alignments & corrected the steering angle three(3) times. After 5 hours, matthew called me while he sat inside the car idling and his snap-on computer attached to the car. He showed me how he zerod out the �steering angle�. He said the steering sensor (vgrs) is malfunctioning or the ecu computer is bad. And while he was talking, we both witnessed in his snap-on computer that the steering angle changed from o degrees to 115 degrees�while the car was idling and stationary. Matthew also told that he experienced that steering wheel spinning to 180 degrees when he test drove the car. On October 19, 2018, I pulled the service record of the car and I discovered the same pattern of complaints: at 27,215 miles, �guest states steering wheel is not centered when driving straight. � at 42,028 miles, �steering is off�. At 76,847 miles, �alignment steeering wheel is off centered. � at 71,657 miles, �service: center steering wheel alignment and vgrs. � at 113,775 miles, �� steering off center�. On October 25, 2018 , according to dean decastro (service asst mgr Lexus of serramonte), all the complaints about the �steering wheel not centered� in the service records are vgrs issues. On November 2, 2018, Lexus of serramonte determined that the vgrs ecu of the car needs replacement.

Purchased vehicle from dealership. Drove home on the expressway. At 40-60 mph after five minutes the entire under carriage starting vibrating and making a whistling sound. When I turn the vehicle left or right the car looses balance. I brought it back three times to the dealership and it is not fixed. They changed the wheel bearings both sides in the front, and a wheel alignment which did not solve the problem. I purchased this at m&I motors in highland park illinois.

I was driving my Lexus lx 470 to church on Sunday October 26, 2014. While driving around 45 miles per hour, my vehicle's steering wheel suddenly turn 90 degrees to the right and the vehicle pulled over the cub. I was scared to death and nervous but luckily slammed on the breaks on time. The truck stopped and there was no accident because I was on the right lane and no other vehicle was beside me. After recovering from the shock, I looked at the dashboard and saw a red light with "vgrs" illuminated. I called home and told my husband the situation. He asked me to stay put and brought me our second car. He took the Lexus home and started to research the problem. He found several complaint online about the same problem and realized that Lexus company new about the problem but chose not to do anything about it. To be sure, he took the truck to our family mechanic who later confirmed the problem and the fact that Lexus new about it for years 2003 to 2007. Our mechanic said that the Lexus company had the same problem on their LS model and generated a recall for it. But for some reason we cannot explain, Lexus company decided not to recall the lx model. Now the problem on the lx model almost get me into a fatal accident. I need your organization to start an investigation on this problem before somebody get killed.
