I purchased a 2006 GX470 Lexus SUV because of safety ratings. Within a few months the paint peels off everywhere. It started on the top then on the outside window seals not the hood paint is peeling away. I was told it was a shotty paint job by the manufacturer. Why are they not recalling these vehicles and fixing the paint peeling? I can not get extended warranty to cover the paint. Many other owners of the same vehicle are experiencing the same thing. Forum where many owners of the 2006-2007 have the exact same defect in paint/primer. And, Lexus did recall and offer to repaint fix 2008 and higher but not 2006 or 07. Owners are driving around in a car with paint chipping daily!

This is a 2006 Lexus GX470. The paint is peeling profusely and for no reason. We do not live around salt water, the weather has not got to extreme cold levels. I have seen since this car rolled out that Lexus has taken no responsibility for the paint peeling. Like hundreds others, it is peeling on the top of the car, top of the door under all windows, and various places on the hood. I had a paint specialist evaluate it and was told others have the same issues with this vehicle and it had a bad primer which causes the paint to peel this bad.

I have repeatedly contacted Lexus requesting they honor an earlier commitment to replace the cracking of my dashboard ' I am especially concerned about the cracking where the passenger-side airbag would deploy ' the cracking could release small projectiles from the dashboard that could function like bullets in the event of an accident that deployed the airbag and its force

I purchased this 2006 Lexus gx 470 in October 2005, from westside Lexus in houston Texas. The paint on my vehicle started peeling three years after I purchased the vehicle. It got worse as the years went by. I called Lexus and reported the problem, and didn't get any help. I have been calling Lexus every year since I first noticed the problem, still without any help from Lexus. It is a shame that Lexus is not trying to help me, considering I am a loyal customer. I felt Lexus should have recalled the vehicle. I have seen several 2005-2006 Lexus gx 470 models with similar problems on the road. It appears the problem is from Lexus. I am calling on the government to please order Lexus to recall these vehicles. It is sad that one spends hard-earned thousands of dollars to purchase a vehicle and to be having these sorts of issues.

I have a 2006 Lexus GX470 that the dashboard is cracking everywhere. It's just not my Lexus that have this problem. Everyone I know that have this SUV have the same problem. Lexus is not doing anything to fix this problem. It is the manufacturer defect that needs to be fix. Everyday I see more crack shows up in different places. I believe one day this dashboard is going to come apart. It isn't very safe for anybody.
