Bought the vehicle new and has always been maintained by a dealer and mostly garage kept. We took it in to a local garage owner for air conditioning repair and he says we have a bigger problem and do we want to spend the money. The frame under the car is rusted through to the point of possibly snapping in half. We climbed under the car to confirm and took pictures. No warning, no recall and never a word from a dealer. I contacted Lexus and all they would say is there are no recalls for this vehicle and because of its age nothing and no compensation is required. KBB says the vehicle is worth approximately $10,000 but the fact is that it-€™s not saleable. In good conscience we couldn-€™t sell this vehicle to anyone! Toyota had a recall on the same frame, why was there none on this vehicle?

Dash board has begun to crack. Concerned there would be a safety issue if the air bags were deployed. Apparently this is a common issue for the Lexus GX470 from reading other complaints.
