What 2014 Lexus GS 350 owners say
Engine & cooling
Car has electric start, on several occasions came outside a few hours after parking and shutting cut car off to find the car was running again, despite not having touch the keys. More recently parked in my garage shut car off came inside with keys in pocket went out to garage 2 hours later to find the car started on its own and with the garage door closed for the night could have resulted in carbon monoxide poisoning if we had not gone out to the garage again that evening.
Three times in the last week I have experience a dangerous hesitation in accelerating at a low speed after applying the brakes. No matter how hard I press down on the accelerator, the car does not respond.
Steering
Intermittent issue with steering getting stuck at highway speeds. Jolts back into place after a few seconds. No warning lights on display. Mechanic unable to replicate it since it happens intermittently.
I purchased a used 2014 Lexus gs350 f-sport in late 2019. Not long after purchase I always noticed that the steering wheel was never straight, seemed a little to the right and when driving on freeway the steering wheel would feel as if it sticks a little to that position and when trying to align the car to the lane, I have to use a little strength just for the steering to move a little and then it would feel like it pulls to the opposite direction. Every time that happens it looks like I'm swerving for no reason and feels very unsafe specially when other vehicles are next to me. I took the car to the dealership to get an alignment and the problem didn't go away and the steering wheels was still facing toward the right. So I took it back for a second time and they re did the alignment along with test driving it and couldn't duplicate the problem. They said the car was fine. …

There's a recall on my car for the fuel pump which I was notified last month about this issue. They are still working on a solution for the issue but this isn't happening as quick as it should. I'm concerned driving knowing that my car could possibly stall at any moment as I drive on one the busiest freeways in dallas on a daily basis. I would like to see if I could have this repair expedited as I am concerned for my safety at this point.
