Lexus IS200 Sport Navigator (Now being stripped again) :blink:
Now Don't Forget The REP!!!
Not the best of news for Toyota again, seems a bit odd after all these years of being one of the best car makers in the world, that things like this have recently started to happen more and more? i'd still buy one though

It the way they deal with these problems that will either lose them customers or grow the company.

I think there's some kind of crazy US conspiracy at the mo to bring down Toyota - that's the only explanation for this insane behaviour.

I'm confused, it slid sideways and didn't rollover - so why is that a rollover risk?

Pretty sure they rely on anything that means they have to think less....
Bear in mind this is the country where McDonalds was sued because one of their customers spilled their coffee on their lap(since they hadn't labelled the cup as HOT!), and Winnebago was sued because some idiot thought cruise control would drive the car for him... and went to make a cup of coffee at 70mph.

The solution, reported as already in the works by the Nikkei, is to modify the vehicle's electronic stability control system--a simple software update. The report also states that from Toyota's (brief) testing, the RAV4 and Lexus RX (Harrier in its home market) will get the update, too.
While still unofficial--Lexus' latest announcement says they're still testing and evaluating the GX 460--the news could indicate a new corporate attitude from the lessons learned in the sudden acceleration/pedalgate affair. Lexus has already committed to providing a loaner vehicle for any concerned 2010 GX 460 owner until a fix is released.

Tuesday's announcement by Consumer Reports of a "do not buy" rating for the 2010 Lexus GX 460 due to concerns of a risk of rollover under certain conditions stirred up the stewing cauldron of Toyota's recent safety record. But according to a report out of Japan today, the company may already have a fix in hand.
