Lexus LX470 Electrical problems by year

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 lexus lx470. While driving on a mountain road at 40 mph, the vehicle's warning sensor began beeping and the vehicle stopped abruptly. As a result, the vehicle veered off into the opposite lane towards oncoming traffic. The contact drove 15 mph until she reached her destination.

I took the car to lexus of glendale for routine service, which was completed, and three days later, as I was driving on 5 freeway from coalinga to los angeles, all of a sudden, I heard a grinding noise from the engine, and the car stalled, I was able to pull over ta ds a nearby service station (chevron) in valencia. I noted a check engine light, and the vehicle became undriveable. The vehicle was towed to lexus of glendale, who discovered that one of the spark plugs had come loose and lodged in the engine shalt,...

It is a known problem that alot of these made are missing the relays for the foglights and rear heat, and parking brakes freeze up.

The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the steering column was damaged due to a remedy of nhtsa campaign number: 10v346000 (steering). The spiral cable needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 170,000.

The speedometer is unreadable between 10-60 mph. There is no illumination, therefore you have no idea of the speed of the vehicle. I notified the dealer, and was told this is not common. Then I notified lexus company, and they said "contact the dealer". This is a safety concern--my wife is afraid to drive, for fear of speeding or other speed problems, as with other lexus vehicles. We have had this vehicle lexus certified dealer maintained since we bought the vehicle, and think this a dangerous situation.

I own a 2004 lexus lx470. The center console instrument array had to be replaced twice since I purchased the vehicle. There was no crash or accident. But when it died, there is no functionality of the speedometer, heater, ac, radio. It was replaced both times, the first time under warranty. The second time, the dealer replaced it outside of warranty free of charge. I was told it would have cost over $4500.00. The fact that they replaced it at no charge to me after the warranty expired makes me suspicious this is not an uncommon occurrence. *Tr

I lease a lexus 400h and have just yesterday been informed that it is a drive by wire vehicle with no mechanical linkage between the steering wheel and the front tires. I am a ham radio operator and upon transmission the steering wheel shakes. No amount of filtering or other measures have alleviated the problem. I believe that the car is inherently dangerous and woould never have leased it if I had know that it was a drive by wire vehicle. Note that there are a large number of rf sources such as broadcast...
