The Mail Online is reporting that Toyota is having more car worries – this time with the premium brand Lexus. The car in question is the Lexus GX460, an extremely large four by four vehicle with significant electronics on board. Apparently, the problem arises when the car is driven into a corner and the accelerator released, resulting in a potentially dangerous sideways skidding of the wheel as the stability control kicks in late.
It’s worth noting that whilst the GX460 is not sold in the UK, other four by four models are – and all are being retested to ensure safety. Toyota previously had a superb reputation and I see no reason to think that this is simply another temporary blip.
