Can not open drivers door from inside. *tr
Tl*the contact owns a 2001 lexus ls430. while driving approximately 60 mph, the rear passenger side door suddenly opened. he pulled over and closed it. he took the vehicle to the dealer and was informed that the door latch system failed and needed to be replaced. he called the manufacturer and filed a complaint with a representative. the vehicle has not been repaired to-date. the current and failure mileages were approximately 133,000.
Rear door latch failed and the door no longer closes. dealer said the plastic latch deteriorated and needs to be replaced with a new one but there is no service bulletin on it. looks like a safety issue why the door latch is made from plastic and the door can actually open while in motion. *tr
I have a 2001 lexus ls430 with approx. 72,000 miles in excellent condition. the trunk lid does not stay up securely and in windy conditions it drops down. on a couple of occasions it hit my head when i was removing some items and whilst i was lucky that since my head was inside, i was not hit by the sharp edge of the trunk and not injured badly but it could have been really worse. the problem is caused by defective struts in the trunk opening mechanism. i checked on the internet and i see hundreds of complaints about this issue and all sorts of places (e.g. ebay) advertising replacement struts. i feel that this is a major safety issue in a luxury car of this caliber and lexus should recall and fix this problem. *tr
