Toyota continues to face struggles as Consumer Report recently rated their Lexus GX 460 as unsafe. The magazine gave the SUV vehicle a “do not buy” label in its’ latest report, which is the first time its has done so since the 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Limited. The magazine came to this conclusion after a test of the vehicle’s performance during unusual turns, the rear of the vehicle slid until it was nearly sideways before the electronic stability control system kicked in. Consumer Reports said in real-world driving, such a scenario could cause a rollover accident. “In a real world situation, by that time, the car can hit the curb or the side of the road and that’s the situation where, in a vehicle like that, it could cause it to roll over,” said Gabriel Shenhar, senior auto test engineer at Consumer Reports, who was one of four testers to experience the problem. Toyota responded by stating that it is concerned with Consumer Reports’ findings, adding that its engineers will try to duplicate the magazine’s tests to determine its next steps. “Please keep in mind that the 2010 GX 460 meets or exceeds all federal government testing requirements,” the automaker said. “We take the Consumer Reports’ test results seriously.” Toyota continues to face problems. First it was the unintended acceleration problems with its’ Prius vehicles among others and now the roll-over problem with its’ high-end Lexus SUV line. It will be interesting to see if its’ testing results differ from Consumer Report’s conclusions.

Japanski automobilski div Toyota Motor Corp., zatražio je u utorak od predstavništava svog luksuznog brenda Lexus u SAD-u da zaustave prodaju terenca GX 460, nakon što je magazin Consumer Reports za taj model izdao upozorenje "Ne kupuj: sigurnosni rizik", zbog opasnosti od prevrtanja utvrđene na testiranju. - Mi shvaćamo situaciju s modelom GX 460 vrlo ozbiljno i odlučni smo utvrditi i ispraviti probleme koje je identificirao Consumer Reports, izjavio je Mark Templin, generalni direktor Lexusa u SAD-u. Consumer Reports objavio je u utorak da se tijekom ispitivanja vozila, pri naglu skretanju, stražnji dio toliko zanosio da se vozilo otklizavalo bočno prije nego se uključio mehanizam za kontrolu stabilnosti. List je zaključio da pri stvarnoj vožnji takav scenarij može uzrokovati prevrtanje vozila i zbog toga je časopis za "lexus GX" 460 dao upozorenje "Ne kupuj: sigurnosni rizik", dok se nedostatak ne ukloni. "Lexus GX" 460 u SAD-u se prodaje po cijeni od oko 52.000 dolara (278.200 kn), a od studenoga je prodano samo 5000 komada. Lexus u Hrvatskoj nema u ponudi model GX 460. Fena
