WHEN I'M DRIVING, ESPECIALLY WHEN TURNING A CORNER, MY CAR SUDDENLY DECELERATES FOR SEVERAL SECONDS EVEN WHEN I'M PRESSING THE EXCELERATOR. IF I NEEDED POWER IN A CRUNCH SITUATION, I WOULD BE OUT OF LUCK. THIS MAINLY HAPPENS DURING IN-TOWN DRIVING. I'VE EXPERIENCED THIS MANY TIMES BUT THIS IS MY 1ST REPORT.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2011 Lexus Ls460 verdict →
