ACCORDING TO Consumer Reports, the Lexus GX460 is a safety risk SUV. The magazine, which in its latest issue on cars, had rated the Best cars 2010, has boldly advised consumers to Don't Buy the Lexus GS460, because it has a rollover risk during turns.
The Consumer Reports cars issue, claimed that when they tested the Lexus GX460, it exihibited problems in a severe handling manoever. The Lexus GX460 test showed that when the SUV was made to do a sharp turn, its electronic stability system (a system that controls brakes and accelerator) couldn't keep the vehicle in line, according to Consumer Reports spokesperson Douglas Love. The vehicle slides almost completely sideways, a move that can lead to the car rolling over, he added.
The Lexus GX460 test by the magazine, was a specially designed test to measure how a vehicle stands against a specific emergency problem - one that happens when a driver takes his/her foot off the accelerator during a sharp turn and can cause the vehicle's back end to slide outwards. In this test, the system did not set into work until the car was skidding dangerously.
