Looking for a new family hauler? Cross the new 2010 Lexus GX 460 off your list (for now).
Consumer Reports (via MSNBC) is reporting that the vehicle is unsafe and is a safety hazzard. During their routine test at their facilities, the CR folks drove into a turn without breaking (simulating a real life scenario) and noticed there was a significant delay with the stability control kicking in. According to CR, this is a huge risk as the car can then roll over.
Consumer Reports gives the Lexus GX 460 SUV the following rating: “Don’t buy: Security Risk”
As if the above is not damaging enough, CR compared the Lexus SUV rating to a 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Limited…Ouch! For Toyota, when it rains it pours.
Toyota representatives say the Lexus GX 460 meets or exceeds all federal government testing requirements and they are doing further investigations.
I’d welcome any comments from existing owners of the Lexus GX 460 SUV.
