Hello Everyone,
I am new to this forum, and I had found many really good articles on the topic I was searching for. Thanks for the great work!
I do have 13 LX570 with 70,000 miles. I like to keep my LX570 for a very long time.
Other day I got a warning saying "Check 4-Wheel AHC System" on the dash. Dealer said that front left suspension AHC pipe is leaking
and it may cost up to $20,000. Vehicle is rusting so much that it is not worth fixing it. They said it is very common in New England
area being the salt belt. I was shocked.
I know rusting is an issue with Toyota that there was a recall for Tundra and Tacoma.
I have filed complaint with NHTSA https://www.nhtsa.gov/report-a-safety-problem#vehicle
Two months ago, I was asked by the dealer to do services necessary that costed $2000 to bring it to Upto date. There was no
indication from the dealer of the rust or any potential issues including past several years. Had I known rusting problems,
there may be many ways to stop or really slow it down. I did wash car underneath almost every week through a car wash company.
I do think that Lexus or Toyota needs to do something just like the way they did with their other trucks through recall.
May be if enough people complain through NHTSA?
Cleverly their warranty does not cover when it involves rust issues.
What do you guys think on how I should proceed?
