Toyota Safety Problems Now Include Lexus GX 460 SUV
The Toyota safety problems continue to add up, now including the 2010 Lexus GX 460. Toyota Motor Company has announced that its 2010 Lexus GX 460 SUV has a problem with handling. Toyota's findings are in line with those of Consumer Reports, which warned of the SUV's potential for errant slide and gave it a "Don't Buy" rating.
The New York Times reports that Toyota has ordered its dealers to stop selling the model until the problem can be corrected. According to Consumer Reports, "When pushed to its limits on our track’s handling course, the rear of the GX we bought slid out until the vehicle was almost sideways before the electronic stability control system was able to regain control.”
This is the latest in a string of toyota safety problems. The company was recently fined a record $16.4 million by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for failure to disclose information regarding sticky accelerator pedals. This is another black mark for the company that was once known for safety and reliability but has no become a symbol for car safety problems.
