I own a 2006 lexus ls430, which I've had since new. It only has about 70k miles on it and has been maintained solely at lexus dealership where vehicle was purchased in raleigh nc. Today while reversing down a steep drive my vehicle suddenly lost power and cut off. I lost all hydraulic brake assistance and steering assist. I was moving at about 8 mph at time of failure. No malfunction indicators appeared on the dash before or after this. My vehicle had at least 10 gallons of fuel in the tank as it indicates about...

The driver/owner of the lexus ls 430 was pulling in to a parking spot behind another car at a private club. It was straight in parking behind a gmc yukon. In pulling into the spot, the right rear tire went over a curb, and suddenly the car accelerated like a rocket. The driver stepped on the brake and nothing would stop it. Since the car was only about one foot away from the parked yukon, the lexus was stopped by the impact. The car was put in park and the engine turned off. Air bag did not deploy. Damage...

On 3/27/12 the car was taken to dealer and inspected for a strong fuel odor upon starting the engine. None was detected. On 4/18/12 it was returned for the same problem. A second inspection found the fuel pressure regulator was leaking fuel and did represent a hazard, but was not the same issue as the recall of 2006-07 models gs 350/350, 2009 is 250, 2006-08 is 350, listed as fuel pressure sensor installation. I was charged $320.73 For parts/labor plus tax. The model is a ls 430. *Tr

I owned a 2001 lexus ls430 from 2001 to 2004. During that time, the car would accelerate by itself when going slowly - down my driveway, into my garage, out of my garage, pulling up the driveway. It only happened when going very slowly - say five miles an hour or less - but it consistently happened. I took it to the local dealer a couple of times and they said, "we did not notice anything." I wasn't really concerned since I was usually only going around five miles an hour, and I would depress the brake...

The gas tank on the 2003 lexus ls430 can be easily damaged by careless placement of the jack at the rear mounting point. My car was recently damaged this way at dorschel lexus (rochester, new york, and I am concerned that there are any number of such cars on the road. Partly crushed gas tanks may not be noticeable to the owner unless one looks under the vehicle. This may predispose these vehicles to fuel leaks and early corrosion around the gas tanks.
