What 2010 Lexus GX owners say
Stability & traction control
2010 Lexus GX 460 driven by my wife. At approx 30 MPH the brakes were applied hard to avoid a car changing lanes and the vehicle entered an immediate left skid without wheels skidding due to braking. The brake pressure was released when a it was apparent a collision would be avoided and the vehicle made a violent jerking return to straight travel. This occurred on dry pavement and easily could have LED to a serious accident. No accident happened only due to my wife's driving skills. Appears the stability control did not work as advertised.
On 4/13/2010, consumer reports released test results on a 2010 Lexus GX 460 indicating the SUV should not be purchased due to rollover safety issues caused by a defective electronic stability control device. On 4/3/2010, we purchased a 2010 GX 460 from Lexus of spokane in washington state. Lexus says the vehicle is safe. The SUV is in our garage, has 250 miles on it, and we are afraid to drive it. What should we do???? Thank you for your assistance.
