2007 Lexus GX470

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.

DASHBOARD/COVER CRACKS OVER THE (1) ODOMETER ASSEMBLY AND (2) GLOVE COMPARTMENTS. THESE MAY AFFECT THE AIR BAGS IN THOSE AREAS. I BOUGHT THIS USED AT AROUND 95000 MILES ON JANUARY 20, 2018 FROM INFINITY BERMAN LA SALLE ST CHICAGO ILLINOIS. I READ THERE WERE PREVIOUS REPORTS ON DASHBOARD FOR EARLIER GX470 BUT THIS IS NOT COVERED. CARFAX REPORT FOR THIS VIN DOES NOT HAVE REPORTED ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE.

I OWN THIS LEXUS 2007 GX470, AT 120,00 MILES HAS A COMPLETELY OVERHAULED AND NOW 143,000 MILES ALL YELLOW WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED THAT INCLUDING "ENGINE" THE ENGINE STARTS MAKE NOISE AND KING OF DRAGGING SOMTHING, AFTER DIAGNOSTICS. "THE SECONDARY AIR INJECTION SYSTEM SWITCHING VALVE STUCK OPEN BOTH ONE AND TWO" I CALLED DEALER AND TOTAL PARTS COST ME $1,200 NOT INCLUDE LABOR YET. THAT'S RIDICULOUS.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2006 LEXUS GX470 (VIN [XXX]). A MONTH OR SO AGO, AT OR ABOUT 56,500 MILES, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ALONG WITH ABOUT THREE OTHER YELLOW WARNING LIGHTS. ALSO, THE ENGINE WENT INTO A MODE THAT BARELY ALLOWED ME TO DRIVE DOWN THE ROAD. ON OR ABOUT JANUARY 27 OF THIS YEAR, I LIMPED TO THE LEXUS DEALER FOR INSPECTION. AS THE ATTACHED REPORT INDICATES, MY VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A FAILURE OF THE SECONDARY AIR SYSTEM WITH A REPAIR ESTIMATE OF $2,114.60. (SEE PAGE 9 OF THE ATTACHED AUTOPOINT FITNESS INSPECTION & TREATMENT PLAN). AFTER RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON WITH THIS ENGINE TYPE. I WOULD ASSERT THAT MINE IS A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. IT SEEMS THE SECONDARY AIR PUMP (PART OF THE EMISSIONS SYSTEM) IS DEFECTIVE AND DETERIORATES, CAUSING THE ENTIRE SYSTEM TO STOP WORKING. THIS THEN CAUSES THE ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM TO REDUCE THE ENGINE TO A "LIMP MODE" THAT IS DANGEROUS AND DYSFUNCTIONAL.
