After driving through a deeper puddle on the road my electron power steering started to work intermittently and after stopping briefly to buy some snacks, my electronic power steering quit completely. It now no longer works at all, and the only way to steer it Is with manual (very heavy) steering. It has been sitting in the driveway for the past 3 weeks.

My dash on my car is shiny and sticky from the defected meterial it is made out of and causes glare from the windshield when driving. Door panels are also leaving sticky residue behind on my hands when I touch the door panel. Lexus dealership admits from 2006 to 2008 there is a defect in the interior meterials melting and becoming sticky, but will not do anything to fix it because I am out of warranty. Please help this is very annoying that they dont care.

While driving on a straight line, most of the time when trying to make a normal correction it would feel like the steering wheel Is caught on a magnet and I needed to tug the steering loose. This causes me to loose control of the car for few seconds to correct the steering.

2008 Lexus Is 250 - car pulls to left whereby this could lead to unexpected oversteering of car and could cause highway incident and/or fatality. Told by dealer that this is due to "low profile tires & sport suspension", therefore it is a characteristic of the vehicle and nothing can be done.

8/31/10 Lexus 2008 Is 250 with 14K miles, trying to stop, brakes (ABS) pulsed very hard thump-thump-thump, dry pavement 30mph straight road. Next intersection applied brakes at 20mph steering pulled right then left as brakes were applied. Very scary-called dealer - got #roadside tow truck - in to service dept. Dealer ran computer diagnostics & test drove, no problems, did a nys safety inspection since it would expire soon. No problems detected, sent vehicle home. Driving home 10 miles from dealer - same pulling right/left when brakes applied. Not a gentle pull - like wheel being ripped out of your hands. No control at all. Returned car to dealer. Next day 9/1/10 three (3) mechanics test drove, only slightly feeling brake pull. Replaced brakes as a warranty, sent car home. Again, 20 miles out gently applied brakes while approaching rr track - car steered completely into left oncoming traffic - almost a head-on collision..turned around and took car back to dealer demanded a loaner vehicle till they fix. I am frightened for my life as well as others around me. This is a lease vehicle - which I still have for another 12 months. Is there any way I can cancel this lease? I'm afraid to take this car back again.
