| I own a 2005 lexus gx470 with 10,000 miles. we have experienced the toyota/lexus bump/stop whiplash simulation on a daily basis. lexus/toyota had been replacing drive shafts on many vehicles which jump forward for no reason. lexus is now saying that this dangerous condition is a normal design function of the vehicle. i spoke with tom norton, one of the owners of lexus of cherry hill, nj today. he told me that his gx470 does the same thing that my $50,000 vehicle does. mr. norton did agree that lexus had replaced multiple driveshafts in the past & that this condition is absolutely not normal. however, he, & i'm now using my own words, must hold the company line, & tell customers what they're being instructed from lexus headquarters. as a police supervisor, i drive for a living. i've never experienced a vehicle jumping forward as i have on my lexus gx470. should this problem not be corrected, i will sue under lemon law. i will write my legislators. i will write editorials to every newspaper in the region. i will picket dealerships on my days off. should nhtsa and/or lexus/toyota neglect immediate attention to this matter, i will share my experience with investigative reporters. why should my 4 year old have to sit in a vehicle that is unsafe? why should my wife have to cry in a service department because her pleas for assistance go completely unanswered? why should a cocky service manager call my cell phone to explain to me that i don't know what i'm talking about? toyota now contemplates buying the failing gm as toyota fears possible american consumer & governmental backlash. if you have to recall vehicles, so be it. as 60 minutes' andy rooney would say, ...it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know there's a problem here... ladies & gentlemen, there's a problem here. we've paid top dollar for what are billed as superior vehicles. live up to your reputation & fix the problem. | |||
