2011 Lexus GX460 SUV AWD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2011 Lexus GX460 SUV AWD

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

No
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
""takata recall" i received a recall for this issue may 2016. i have checked a number of times since when this will be remedied. most recently august 2017. each time i am told there is not yet a remedy for my vehicle though i have been told possibly sept-oct 2017. the recall states that significant degradation may occur between 6-9 years after put in service. my vehicle has now been in service 7yrs 6 months. i have not asked for a loaner, but feel this may be my only recourse as i feel that a "timely manner" has come and gone. it is nearly impossible to never have a passenger ride in the front and at best i shouldn't have to deal with such an inconvenience as to remember to rope off my front seat."
