| Safety on valentins day 1998, i purchased a new 1998 gs 400 in austin texas. while i was doing some research about the nhtsa for information (full professor). on your tb page i found out that the vsc( computer was defective in the japanease market before january. a non-compliance fix plan to nhtsa in march. i also found the document that states toyota was to fault for the bad yaw control and that they planned to fix the computers cause they might cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle. at no time during the recall process was i ever aware of the defective part. as a col i make many trips on fort hood texas which has over 37,000 radons of which 8,000 are in use every day. most of the radios are singars (frequency hoppers). on at least 6 or more time the vsc yellow light came on turing the system off and then it would come back on. in the aera i live in, garage doors and clocks, tv's are subject to come on because of military radios. i had full confidence in lexus about being safe. i think they were missrepresenting and neglegnce in not telling me. | |||
