Ls460 Sudden Acceleration
sktn77a replied to MikesMom's topic in 07 - 16 Lexus LS460 / LS460L / LS600h
Sorry you didn't figure the issue out but I still believe all instances of this (in any car) can be traced to the driver. "No production car's engines can overcome their braking system." This is an absolute (and the basis of dragster starts for fastest 1/4 mile times)!- 10 replies

If you look on the Tire Rack review site, you;ll see that this tire has the highest ride comfort rating of any tire ("sport" or "non-sport")! And it's wet handling/braking is among the best.

2007 Ls 460 Worn Drivers Door Arm Rest Replacement
sktn77a replied to mvargo's topic in 07 - 16 Lexus LS460 / LS460L / LS600h
Lexus have extended this warranty enhancement. Most 2007-2012 cars should be covered now. -
2007 LS460L - what to look for?

Beware sticky door panels and dashboards! -
Transmission whine
sktn77a replied to artbjornestad's topic in 07 - 16 Lexus LS460 / LS460L / LS600h
This is a known issue with some 2013-2015 LS460s. There is a Technical Service Bulleting (L-SB-0103-14) outlining the repair process. Basically, the revised engine mounting on the 2013+ cars caused the transmission to be misaligned and they need to replace a transmission mount and isolator to realign the transmission and fix the problem. -
Ls460 Sudden Acceleration
sktn77a replied to MikesMom's topic in 07 - 16 Lexus LS460 / LS460L / LS600h
I think this reflash was to improve hesitation on acelleration. What his mother described sounded more like unintended acelleration.- 10 replies

Definitely just pain the bumpers. Any aftermarket paint job on the rest of the body will look like crap. You can get away with it on the plastic bumper covers.

LS460 Lock Actuator problems
sktn77a replied to taomiller's topic in 07 - 16 Lexus LS460 / LS460L / LS600h
No, it's not a common problem. But the actuators do fail occasionally. I suspect it's a one-off thing. But if you are that worried, get a Lexus extended warranty before your new car warranty runs out. -
Remove the park lock cover and make sure it's not stuck/blocked.

Well, the chassis is the same but that doesn't mean Lexus couldn't have added mounting holes for a hitch in 2012. Lexus do not approve of hitches on the LS (at least not in the US) so I suspect any mounting points were present on all models (ie that no in-production changes were made). Get the car in and take a look.

Ls460 Sudden Acceleration
sktn77a replied to MikesMom's topic in 07 - 16 Lexus LS460 / LS460L / LS600h
Nearly all cases of sudden/unintended acceleration have been found to be driver error. No production car's engines can overcome their braking system. Rare cases of floor mats sticking on top of the accelerator have been reported which is why all manufacturers now have floor mat hooks/clips. I suspect you mother did hit the accelerator and just didn't realize it (I've done it myself).- 10 replies

Probaby can't hurt at this point. Try to get the motor gears/cables as well as the slide.

Of course you can - providing you have 18" wheels! The Pirelli Cinturato P7 A/S Plus is probably the best luxury car tire out there.

2007 Ls 460 Worn Drivers Door Arm Rest Replacement
sktn77a replied to mvargo's topic in 07 - 16 Lexus LS460 / LS460L / LS600h
The "warranty enhancement" is for the 2007 LS and the 2006-2008 IS. Your car isn't covered under it but if you have a good relationship with your dealer, they might go to bat for you with Lexus Corp. If it's Johnson Lexus, though, don't bother - they are a total waste of time. -

Toyota are replacing these defective dashboards under a goodwill warranty now. Contact your dealer. -
