Recall 18V-432: Fuel System, Gasoline

This is part of complaint 11140678 filed with nhsta. I meant to attach the warranty enhancement for the ABS actuator. This is a known issue with toyota/lexus and I feel that it is more than a warranty concern. This is a malfunction of a part that is safety concern to the highways and beyond. I also AM concern if this was an issue looked at when toyota had the "unintended acceleration" issue where drivers were not able to stop. These cars go far beyond the regular 150,000 mile cutoff for the enhanced warranty mileage given of the vehicles listed in the warranty. In this particular warranty, my…

My 2007 lexus gs450h is not having all cylinders firing and has engine power loss. I called our local lexus dealer and they said there's no recall of this kind of problem. I searched online and there's a certain recall describing exactly what my car is doing. The recall number is 10v309000- toyota recalls 2006-2008 lexus models due to possible engine problems due to micro-foreign objects in the valve spring that can cause it to break. This could cause the engine to fail suddenly, while the vehicle is in motion, increasing the risk of a crash.

Car has been serviced in two lexus delaerships in the last 2 months....car started blinking the stability control lights and steering started intermittnetly working and the brakes were at 50%. I was able to the stop the car and shut it down when I restarted the no warning lights were on. The steering feel was back to normal and so were the brakes. I accelerated up to about 5 miles per hour...and the lights went off with alarms and the steering and brakes completely malfunctioned and would not work and I hit a parked car because of no ability to control the car. No warning signs before that.…

The front brake have been making a squiky nose when you pressed to stop the car. I called lexus for a potential recall regarding this problem. Lexus tall me it was not on recall for this issue. For months we kept trying to find a solution for this problem we couldn't until a week ago the dealer have finally admited that the actuator assembly/ ABS brake module have failed and that should have never happened to this component of the vehicles and ask to me to call lexus for a remedy.

With no warning,while driving the engine suddenly stops . After car comes to complete stop shifter in park turn ignition off and back on engine starts fine ,but I have had to do that so many times I think the starter is taking a server beating . Sometimes this happens 2-10 times a day,this could be extremly dangerous like on the freeway ,in rush hour ,with it raining traveling 65 -70mph with no emergency lane .
